Always dreaming about mountain biking or Arsenal FC or why it used to be called western civilization or something. Trying to figure out northern NM in America.

1. Let's not say goodbye to Eric Schmitt just yet. His story is about more than a power-mad senator falling on his face. It's part of a larger story about the Republicans defending the leader of an insurrection against the United States.

Since Pete Hegseth paid $50,000 for sexually assaulting a woman, making one of his wives fear for her safety, had multiple adulterous affairs, got one mistress pregnant, constantly bears false witness, and has divorced, when he tells us to follow the Bible, we should reply, "You first."

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

I suspect that this "ignorance" about Rich Kids, as much as anything else, is what prevents truly Leftist politics from taking hold in this country. There really is no danger of a "slippery slope towards socialism," despite what you may have heard.

Why are all those tech dudes so especially weird about fertility rates? It's not just misogyny or eugenics or greed. Their twisted definition of "human" and their odd conceptions of types of extinction and their fundamentally not human goals for the future are all part of the weird story.

In the american context communism is mostly unrelated to economics. Any progressive redistributive policy is communism, as is any egalitarianism of race, gender, or sexual orientation. Integration is communism, women in the workplace is communism, marriage equality is communism. It's deeply stupid.

It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.

If you are in Ukraine be careful about speaking to Laura Loomer, do not grant her any interviews if possible, nor spend any time alone with her without someone else with you or aware of where you are or the conversation. Record every interaction; don't provide damaging content.

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.
