I guess there's some sort of "somebody logs onto the internet for the first time every day" sorta thing going on here, but how are people not so _bored_ of constantly pretending to be mad about this stuff? On some level to Permanently Furious Nerd Boys just strike me, ironically, as hobbyless.

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

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.

As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.
Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.

I like that in becoming a nazi, you get glowing coverage as a brave iconoclast, and then when you stop being a nazi, you’re get glowing coverage as a brave dissident. Money coming and going. Only way you lose is having normal opinions like “racism bad” bsky.app/profile/trac...

having a vague idea of how big and siloed society is vs. the size of a listening audience of an artist let alone a genre is a helpful way to conceptualize their reach. also, I have heard it and the song is boring. are we in the midst of a new peak in bots and payola? could be!

reading this, it does seem as if “rationalism” is an elaborate intellectual architecture designed primarily to support the idea that if you were born white, male and clever then you are the genetic elite and entitled to rule.

It's not just this bill--Newsom's entire administration has included vetoing dozens if not hundreds of good bills that would make people safer, increase their rights at work, etc. Anyone who cares about policy wants this person nowhere near the White House

they are paid by, and require access to, everyone who was ideologically and pragmatically committed to the idea of the 'vibe shift'. in this way, it was primarily a top down imposition of societal discipline by some American elites who saw this moment as an opportunity for a power grab.

Trump mega-donors David & Larry Ellison will now officially control CBS, CNN, TikTok, & more. This consolidation hands more control over what we see to Trump & the billionaire class to peddle their propaganda.  This merger was illegal from day 1 & should've never been approved.

Nonsense. ~70% of Americans agree on all kinds of things. The problem is our deeply antidemocratic institutions, which empower the 30% to control the government & regularly block all of the many policies favored by the 70%. That, & the fact that the GOP is now a far right authoritarian party.
