knowing how things work allows you to criticize and fight things way better than ignoring them because you dislike them does

Imagining people who do evil things to be devoid of empathy is a way of comforting oneself, because we all know that we feel empathy and therefore are not the kind of person who could do *that.* It’s much scarier to know that a conglomeration of circumstances can turn basically anybody bad.

It's not that you can't make comedy from Nazis, the Producers and Look Who's Back, but if you're gonna take that shot you better be prime Mel Brooks or the equivalent. And a standard sitcom seems like a terrible choice, either Hitler becomes harmless or, worse, is made sympathetic over time.

Going to be the most predictable whiplash reversal ever come January 21, 2029, because if a Dem prevails the court’s conservatives will suddenly remember they take a dim view of expansive executive power.

There were problems that the Sun ownership didn’t/couldn’t resolve: player facilities lagged well behind WNBA standards and Uncasville is hard to get to. But Hartford or especially Boston could absolutely support a team and bring in enough revenue for top-notch facilities. Cathy wouldn’t let us.

this administration illegally shut down federal agencies, impounded money from Congress, set up for-profit concentration camps and sent children there. They dismantled our public health infrastructure and children died of measles. Doing accountability for crimes against our Constitution is the work.

California electeds sold the nation down the river on the Paramount merger in pursuit of guaranteed film production jobs, which is the thing they think people care about the most. If you don't want a repeat of that, kick Bass out of City Hall and make sure Newsom doesn't exceed 3% in South Carolina.

The recent example of the U.K. Labour Party shows that “compromising” rarely stops at some acceptable midpoint.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

I am very glad to see The Thick of It made it on the main list in the 60s. An incredible, near perfect show. Just off my personal top 10 are Gilmore Girls, Shogun, Community, Always Sunny, and at least one show I've totally forgotten about.

Personal top 10 "shows that premiered in the 2000s" list:
The Wire
Slings And Arrows
The Thick of It
Arrested Development
The Americans
Battlestar Galactica
Friday Night Lights
Parks & Rec
30 Rock
The Good Place

As this actually is in my bailiwick (private attorney on the Children and Family Law appellate and trial panels) I can say that it's extremely unlikely the kid will ever have to go back to the parents. But getting treatment for gender dysphoria is going to be more difficult based on recent caselaw.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
