I would posit that planned obsolescence is needed in a toxically-capitalist society.

GOP senator airballs perjury claim against Jack Smith over apparent Hawks/Hawkeyes mix-up

The Missouri senator’s shot at a gotcha moment against the former special counsel wound up being a very public miss.

THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

Sometimes I think about where we would be as a culture today if #MeToo in 2017 had radicalized more straight men into fighting sexual abuse instead of creating a culture of "oh god don't get me CANCELED" and "fake accusations" paranoia and resentment

Chat, how many men in the United States of America were named “Jack” on February 3, 2024. If they were just gonna believe the water-sucking lie machine, they coulda made damn sure before they accused someone of perjury.

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

After Eric Schmitt lied and was corrected at the Jack Smith hearing, the NY Times called it a “misunderstanding.” This might be fair if Schmitt had a record of honesty (he doesn’t) and if Schmitt didn’t repeat the same lie after the hearing (he did). What the hell is the NY Times doing?

Devlin Barrett and Charlie Savage
Reporting from Washington
Jack Smith, who as special counsel twice charged Donald J. Trump with criminal offenses after his first term, defended his actions in testimony before Congress on Tuesday, as a Republican senator accused him of perjury based on what appeared to be the lawmaker’s misunderstanding about a basketball game involving the University of Iowa Hawkeyes.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

I am looking toward the camera. My eyebrows are slightly raised. I've wiggled my mouth in a fashion that suggests you're witnessing the absurdity of the moment. My hair is tousled in a boyish manner. The camera pans away.

The real hope is that the people in charge of investigating crimes don’t need blatant evidence from news outlets to recognize a horrific crime or an institution’s failure to protect the victim(s).

In a session at a book show I attended this summer, a promoter discussing social media presence for authors asked a simple question: do you want to be an influencer, or do you want to be a writer? I think of preparing for the midterms in much the same way. (Thread)

So, how come nobody is asking the White Supremacist Question or the Bigot Question? Evidence suggests both groups are more harmful to peace and prosperity than Jews or Indian nationals or dark-skinned people or LGBTQIA+ people or women who aren’t into being gestators.

He would have been 98 today. That gentleness in his eyes? It sustained me through my youth and my teen years and after. He was the one person who always made me feel loved no matter what. He was brilliant and clever and had the best way with words. Happy birthday, Daddy. I miss you.

The GOP is an opposition party even when it's in power, the idea that they are the perpetual underdog is central to their internal mythology and can't be disturbed by facts or the results of elections. It's also why they're bad at, you know, governing.

That's capitalism. Profit at all cost and usually that cost is human suffering.

A booming stock market with suffering citizens is not a successful economy. It's the rich eating us alive right in our faces.
