I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

My hot take: We are not arguing about SSRIs. Some of us are using them as prescribed by our doctors to treat mental health difficulties. This administration has decided that's a problem based on no actual research.

I am in fact extremely angry about Bush v. Gore and have written about it often. But that's the side Ralph Nader was on. Bush winning wasn't an incidental byproduct of Nader's campaign -- it was the outcome he sought to achieve and did (by, for example, refusing to stop running in swing states)

Why do you hear so much repetition in the media about Trump's promise to give voters $5000 in a way you didn't for say, Kamala Harris's plan to give people who start a business $50,000? Is it because Trump has more credibility because he's told the truth in the past? What could be the other reason?

Reflecting on the 90th anniversary of Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics, we forget that mid-20th century White supremacist “race science” was that Whites were athletically superior to other races. That was discarded in favor of the belief that athletic feats were a sign of intellectual inferiority.

A reminder of what Abraham Lincoln thought of the Know Nothings, the party that championed "heritage Americans" and attacked immigrants in his day. quod.lib.umich.edu/l/lincoln/li...

Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that ``all men are created equal.'' We now practically read it ``all men are created equal, except negroes.'' When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read ``all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics.'' When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty---to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.
