Fuzzy Mike @fuzzymike.bsky.social · 15hin 2000 even before the recounts (though also during the recounts) Katherine Harris was going county by county instructing them to have different standards for accepting ballots, but sure a few tens of thousand more votes for Gore and they would've said "gosh we give up" 090
Fuzzy Mike @fuzzymike.bsky.social · 16hsome people are so bad and influential that there's a backlash that brings some good into the world. hitler etc then there's people with so little macro-level impact you can be sure the world would be a 100% better place if they never existed 020
Fuzzy Mike @fuzzymike.bsky.social · 17htechnically you could do down every person in the world and assign them some share of blame for a politician getting elected based on "failed to carry out a successful plot on that politicians life" but if people want to demand you talk about the people ranked 200 to 6 million on that list, well, 020
Fuzzy Mike @fuzzymike.bsky.social · 17hTrump is the avatar of extreme narcissism but I always think of David Brooks's column saying "nobody talks about music or books anymore," just an incapability to imagine that "a person who isn't david brooks" exists 080

Fuzzy Mike @fuzzymike.bsky.social · 27/09/2026not just in relation to social media assholes, but in general, including political policy, "the world is getting worse, so we have to also get worse to meet it where it is" is the actual opposite of an idea that makes sense 0112
