The political conflict is so incredibly asymmetrical: One one side, Democrats abandon politics as a deliberative process in which you make your case to the public; on the other, Republicans have spent decades building a machinery capable of shaping the opinion of their base.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

The thing the right-wing took away from non-prosecution of W-era torture wasn't that they were fortunate that Obama was willing to look forward, it was that installing John Yoo's to write memos saying "[illegal thing] is actually legal" is a cheat code to rewrite the laws however you want

Noah was upset when I blocked him back on Twitter. He remarked on it and inspired some of his fans to yell at me. But we had a very fundamental difference in values: he strongly believed he should be taken seriously, and I firmly believed he should not be.
