a sure sign that something is "highly accepted" is if you have to threaten to impose the power of the state against those who don't accept it

there's a pretty strong case to be made for abolishing fraternities just on a comparative basis with other countries. in the UK, to the best of my knowledge, no examples of the kind of campus gang rape cases that happen with depressing regularity in the US.

The First Amendment wasn’t actually “first.” The original First Amendment was meant to ensure that the House of Representatives grew in loose proportion to the country. Instead, the House’s size hasn’t changed since 1911. Today’s “One First” on that history—and the problems a capped House creates:

Bonus 256: The Original “First” Amendment
The only provision from the original Bill of Rights that was never adopted would've grown the House in proportion to the country. We should revisit it.

This reminds me of a recent conversation I had with @alexhanna.bsky.social about AI and workers, in which Hanna noted that bosses tend to think most feminized work can be automated because they imagine the work as reduced to the task itself and forget the necessary relational aspects.

When you see things on X that seem impossible for a human being to believe (like a desire to turn over parenting to AI), keep in mind that you can make money with raw attention over there.

Rubio in Greece: “the West came to feel ashamed of the very things that made us exceptional. We felt embarrassed that our achievements set us apart... so we tore down our monuments…” Nazi, Soviet, and Confederate are the monuments the West tore down. Contra Rubio, defeating them is the achievement.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.
X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Renting supercomputer time to replace an intern is likely a dumb idea financially but the oligarchs are awash in so much ill-gotten funds, they just don't care. The only way out of this financially irresponsible doom loop is collapse. Or - just hear me out - regulation and accountability...

Perfect example though of how corrupting tariffs are. Every town & business becomes dependent on little tariff carve outs, meaning that buying influence with Senators becomes mandatory to stay in business. The tariff is the mother of trusts!!!

Gasoline prices were briefly sky-high under Biden, in the immediate aftermath of Putin's Ukraine invasion. Then they came down, well before his term ended. Gas is up +39.4% from a year ago. Diesel it at ALL TIME high prices, up +67.0% from a year ago.

we are watching a massive transfer of wealth during an era of massive wealth creation (however much it might be just paper money it’s powerful) — reinscribing gender during this moment is a choice about who will be a citizen for the next three hundred years.

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

I think if you have a code, you need to stick with it, and one of my codified beliefs is that I don’t mock people for their physical appearance. To have exceptions is to say it’s okay to do so, and I view this as a deontological matter, so I don’t do this to my enemies or rivals either.
