there was a really amazing window in which many people who had never considered otherwise began thinking about the way race interfaced with all aspects of their social and material lives that sadly soon got undercut by the grifter motive of “making white people spend money to absolve their guilt“

I don’t know man, I’m sure they’d like to do away with elections altogether, but you ever get the feeling maybe grifting lunatics are just telling senile grandpa what he wants to hear in the hopes that he rewrites his will in their favor.

One thing I'm absolutely sure of: once all this is over, we won't have to hear about Vance again outside of trials. He's just the most nothing a VP has ever been. A less effective Spiro Agnew

increasingly I think the point is not in being anti-AI but in holding steadfastly to standards that AI cannot meet, with no forgiveness

I do love the republicans having to be the ones saying 'no that's not real. no, it's more complicated than that.' with the data center and AI shit for once, not gonna lie. this must be what it feels like to be on the other side of the table when they're spreading shit about vaccines or whatever.

You can't let bullies have a monopoly on violence; it's how they win. That doesn't mean violence is the answer, but it's still true

Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

So ... We don't enforce existing law. We just pass more laws. And then we won't enforce them, either. Rahm is the platonic ideal of institutional paralysis.

if you’re wondering why we have to hear from and about this guy constantly it helps to remember that his brother Ari is the chairman of WME which is the merged version of William Morris and Endeavor. It’s the largest media group in the country. One of its clients is the NFL. It owns WWE.

This checks out. Braun is a lot more sane than Kent ever was and MGP is actively working to piss off her dem base in a blue wave year. She's a bad senator and deserves to lose because of it, even if it's not good for the country

Even the boomers are suffering here, much as it can grate to admit it because many of them do own property and are smug. But now they need to sell and find single-floor, accessible housing, and not only is that basically a unicorn, no one can afford to buy big houses or sell small ones.

Other things equal, your speculation about what might happen from some hypothetical post-reform future is going to be less reliable than estimates of the effect of a proximate reform from where you are now. IOW, don't let speculative nightmares keep you from addressing the problems you're facing now

Organizing creates social costs for being a crank: you have to show up, persuade people, and keep working with them. Posting lets the loudest person treat escalation as a substitute for all three.

I also wonder if there's an aspect of white flight to this. Shitty white dudes running to their last "safe spaces" and are fighting like this is their last bastion. It's the definition of toxic and it's actively ruining these spaces

I would like media that only ever reinforces my ideological perceptions in the most tediously didactic way possible rather than seeking to either entertain or challenge me, and will pass this off as insightful criticism.

Democrats do not only need to "go all in" on higher education. The party needs a genuine reset on its understanding of it. The last three Democratic administrations contributed to creating the crisis that higher ed is facing today.

Masculinity is like whiteness: even if one doesn't actively participate, they are still benefiting and don't want to possibly upset that balance. Because people are mostly cowards and privilege only breeds further cowardice

This whole thread is fantastic, but this point specifically rings true. White people are bad at solidarity because we exist on a slope of privilege, working hard to hold on by ourselves rather than rejecting the system and working with others to build something new and better

Thinking of service professionals as part of your community & not your staff is a lost value (& skill frankly) for too many. Gotta sit everyone down & make them watch the Sesame Street “These are the people in your neighborhood” song w/their eyeballs preyed open like a clockwork orange.

This is my feeling on this as well. If you are in the "there's no way you haven't heard X" club, you have no idea how much music there is available so easily now, nor how many people live in musical bubbles you know nothing about. It's fine, I promise.

i have not heard whatever song you're all fighting about because i don't listen to the radio and am rarely in a place where broadcast radio is playing. this is not the default for most americans, but it's not particularly uncommon now, either. there, i solved everyone's fighting.

I have seen probably 10x more "oh you're too cool to like/have heard the song?" than any "I'm too cool to like/have heard the song" and every single one of the former uses the same "should we have a party?" construction Haven't seen a single one of the latter that was too cool/condescending
