ya i mean i do genuinely think that one of hegseth's goals is to drive people appalled by barbarity out of the military, because the long term plan is to make the military shoot at us, and the same guys who object to this won't do that either.

I can’t help but notice that ICE keeps claiming that people it shoots were trying to ram the agents with a car, and then video keeps proving that’s a lie.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

Ossoff is definitely not listening to Yglesias/Klein/PodSave reactionary centrist crowd, he does not think his marginal voter is a white-supremacist, and that is what makes him such an attractive candidate to the vast majority of US who are not white-supremacists.

I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

We've been being promised 3 and 4-day work weeks thanks to technology ever since the 1950s. It never happens. We keep the 5-day work week, and expectations of output skyrocket instead.

80% of the country is pissed off about something and they're blaming GOP incumbents for it, the worst possible strategy for a Dem challenger is to tell the base "I don't share your values" while also telling swing voters "I'm so out of touch I think 'men in women's sports' is a real concern."

This is what a lot of people don't understand about pain meds. There is a physiological cost to NOT treating pain. Treating your pain can make it possible to do other interventions that can help reduce your pain in the long run. A similar argument can be made for psych meds and psychotherapy.

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

We're in a full-blown constitutional crisis, with Article I completely inoperative & Article III not clearly operative. Whatever one wants to call our current political regime, it's neither a democracy nor a republic at this point.

I gave a campus talk last night on Trump's first 100 days for the WUD Society & Politics group. A student asked me if I thought that, at some point, we might start to describe the US as a competitive authoritarian regime. I said that we were already there, it's just that most folks haven't noticed:

Vote early and in person, folks. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Otherwise get it into the mail at the earliest possible date. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Postal Service is slowing delivery. Will your mail ballot be affected?

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.

Your statement implies that there were times that she did sit and read with you and this was a backup plan for when she couldn't make the time. Which, again, isn't what the post above is saying.

I'm not interested in policing parenting, generally. I am deeply concerned with how AI is being used to diminish the very things that make us human: art, music, writing, connection, community.

Ok, so did she brag about how she got out of reading you stories by using technology instead? Assuming the answer is no, that's the difference between your mom and this guy.

It doesn't say "I don't like reading stories but I love to play Legos with my kid." Instead it's "I'll get AI to do this parenting task for me." I think it's fair to extrapolate from this statement that this father sees "parenting" as just another task, not as a chance to bond with his child.

Or whether you play baseball with them vs board games vs taking them fishing vs teaching them to cook. Maybe one parent does bath time while the other reads stories. Every parent has their own preferences and lessons to impart. What is non-negotiable is having those moments of human contact.

lostinapapercup.bsky.social @lostinapapercup.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Differently is fine, but it is well-documented that children need human contact for their development. This isn't an opinion. You can't farm out your parenting to AI without damaging your kids.

To clarify: no shame to the dads whose jobs keep them away from their kids for long stretches. Sometimes that's an unfortunate financial choice you have to make. But usually those dads make the most of every minute they do get to have with their kids, and the kids remember those moments.

I think the problem with this strategy is expecting people to have empathy for women, which most of them, emphatically, do not have any interest in doing.
