I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the best description of my ideology I've ever read. From "Liberalism Did Not Fail, Conservatism Did" by @polphilpod.bsky.social. www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalism-d...
If we are entering a bipolar world, that simplifies our strategy considerably: We must unite our own coalition and oppose the enemy one. We are in a fight across countries, across institutions, and across all levels of society. War must be waged on all fronts. There is no point trying to find a middle ground with fascism; rather we should aim for positions that are broadly acceptable to everyone in the liberal team.

The kids are basically dealt with as if they were a dynamic probability density function (PDF, not the document type) and routed around by the professionals who only experience a genuine difficulty when faced with a solid wall of multiple goalies (whom they eventually overwhelm). Good stuff.

In case you missed it: last night, CBS News awarded the Mike Wallace Memorial Scholarship to Santiago Campos, a high school journalist. In accepting, he took the time to condemn the direction of CBS News to much surprise and applause from the audience.

George you’re my selfless hero. I herald from another country with another legal architecture but you are truly devoting yourself to doing the patching that needs to shore up your Republic from being a creature of conventions to a system of mandatory rules, regulations, and procedure. Never give up.

Not exactly — indeed it doesn’t pass exactly at the same rate for you as a righty 1.8 metre tall adult as it does for him as a roughly 1.2 metre child — but for all intents and purposes, yes: the difference would be very hard to detect, even if it’s the cumulation of speed and (less) gravity.

Some of the first Okudagrams, made for Star Trek IV. Text on image reads:

Why are the Enterprise bridge monitor screens round? Perhaps because they are designed to accommodate circular displays such as these. These readouts employ a hypothetical circular flowcharting format which presumably represents an advance over present-day rectangular schematic diagrams. Conceptually, we are seeing a graphic status report on ship's systems. We see subsystems coming on-line, test routines, and Indications of virtually every kind of system activity. The graphics are intended to be sufficiently detailed to be believable, but generic enough to allow use at nearly any bridge station.

a man who gets an email like this from his own mother should be legally required to reveal it to every woman he ever meets ever ever
The following is the text of the email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son, Pete Hegseth, on April 30, 2018, as he was in the middle of divorcing his wife, Samantha. One sentence was redacted by The New York Times for privacy reasons.Son,
I have tried to keep quiet about your character and behavior, but after listening to the way you made Samantha feel today, I cannot stay silent. And as a woman and your mother I feel I must speak out..
You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man (and have been for years) and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth.
I am not a saint, far from it.. so don't throw that in my face, but your abuse over the years to women (dishonesty, sleeping around, betrayal, debasing, belittling) needs to be called out.Sam is a good mother and a good person (under the circumstances that you created) and I know deep down you know that. For you to try to label her as
"unstable" for your own advantage is despicable and abusive. Is there any sense of decency left in you? She did not ask for or deserve any of what has come to her by your hand. Neither did Meredith.
I know you think this is one big competition and that we have taken her side... bunk... we are on the side of good and that is not you. (Go ahead and call me self-righteous, I dont' care)
Don't you dare run to her and cry foul that we shared with us... that's what babies do. It's time for someone (I wish it was a strong man) to stand up to your abusive behavior and call it out, especially against womenWe still love you, but we are broken by your behavior and lack of character. I don't want to write emails like this and never thought I would. If it damages our relationship further, then so be it, but at least I have said my piece. [Redacted]
And yes, we are praying for you (and you don't deserve to know how we are praying, so skip the snarky reply)
I don't want an answer to this... I don't want to debate with you. You twist and abuse everything I say anyway. But...
On behalf of all the women (and I know it's many) you have abused in some way, I say... get some help and take an honest look at yourself...
Mom

A key figure in US politics that I think a lot of European observers obsessed with MAGA voters haven't really got their heads around is your average boring middle class suburban voter who in the face of incomprehensible reactionary chaos hankers after a Normie Revolution.

For a narcissist, there are only two types of organisation: those concentric to them, which amplify their reach and strength, and those opposed to them, which are to be disparaged and destroyed. There is no third category.

Basically Aqua is back. I’ve been using it for several weeks and I’m very comfortable with it. It certainly won’t change anybody’s life in one direction or the other. Aesthetics of UIs are pretty arbitrary and non-impactful, provided things are clear and defaults are sane. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You fought the good fight George. You are on the right side of history. Historians of the future will look back kindly at you and the fight isn’t anywhere near over yet. You set your partisan loyalties aside, you disregarded your own personal incentives, and you’re standing up for the rule of law. ✊
