My opinions are my own. But also should be yours. What's wrong with you? If you post AI slop I will block your ass.

"Many, many people are surprised to learn" this principally because it isn't true. Montesquieu is cited more times (11) in more essays (4) than Plutarch (3, 3). Heck, the Abbé de Mably is cited as often as Plutarch. And what do citations even tell us? Locke isn't cited at all...

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

Maybe the only way that social media has made me a better person is that seeing a bunch of people running to say something bad about something other people like has really opened my eyes to how annoying that behavior is, and has made me much less likely to say bad things about what other people like

I'm not sure how I'd feel about it. I'm usually opposed to handing out big contracts to guys in their 30s who just put up their best season in a fashion that looks like an outlier. But at the same time, yeah, this team without his production might have finished last.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

At the end of the day, beyond the hatefulness, he's really just a spectacularly dumb guy. Like I'm not sure he's achieved object permanence yet. He has to be reminded which hole the food goes in. His internal monologue is the sound of one hand clapping. He calls electrical sockets "finger zappers."

The whole graf is hilarious The film (that I have not seen) “falls short on every dimension”
I haven't seen the film. This means I cannot confidently assess its editing, corroboration, or the full testimony it presents. I would love to live in a world in which I could wait, watch the movie, and have a sober debate about its claims.
Unfortunately, the discourse online is not so patient. That's why it's necessary to examine the argument its makers have published, the reporting on which it builds, and the standards by which its allegations should be judged. The film falls short on every dimension.

When I read a story that uses "working class" to refer to the entire mass of U.S. adults without four-year degrees, I assume the writer is engaged in a political project, not analysis. The project is to ignore the perspectives of economically-insecure college grads. newrepublic.com/article/2155...

The Term Working Class Is Useless
Too many political analysts and pollsters are relying on education to define the working class, and it’s leading us to the wrong conclusions.
