Honest question… is this photochopped? Because the sway back, drooping shoulders, man-boobs & gut balanced precariously on stick legs looks like a very bad joke. At the very least it seems like something a few billion should be able to fix.

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.

This is the kind of questioning that leads me to doubt the ability of the US to proceed w/o removal of virtually all Republican members of Congress. Schmitt demonstrates he’s both delusional, unhinged, angry & a threat to democracy. Grassley attempts to pile on.

My argument here is that ‘good’ & ‘bad’ times are not defined by static measures, but by the belief in the future. The 50s & 60s were worse in terms of economics & civil rights, but people saw positive change. Today, we’re better off in every way, but we see the reality & risk of negative change.

Information bubbles are real. A better question is ‘what kind of bubble have you created.’ It’s GOOD to exclude crap. You gain nothing from Newsmax. You *shouldn’t* listen to Joe Rogan. You’re not being open-minded when you do so, you’re just rolling in shit. You can make a more informed bubble.

Honestly, now that Bernie's track record is propping up 1) Tulsi Gabbard who went on to be Donald Trump's DNI, 2) John Fetterman who decided to speak at a GOP midterm convention, and 3) Graham Platner who assured Bernie no serious allegations are coming, Abdul is better off without him.

The robber barons of the gilded age were AWFUL people. They also created things like Stanford, Carnegie-Mellon & countless libraries & symphonic halls w/ the intent of bettering the disdained ‘unwashed.’ Today’s rich villains seem totally uninterested in educating or lifting up their compatriots.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that a humanities education prevents evil or that all STEM majors are blind to the consequences of their actions. The claim is much, much more modest: A well-rounded education w/ elements of liberal arts & STEM tends to create a more educated, thoughtful person.

Is there a human tendency (or even disorder) to *viscerally* hope for ‘the MOST EVER!!’ even when one knows it would be awful? Like… ‘This drought is awful… [excitedly] MAYBE IT WILL GET SO MUCH WORSE!’ Then you realize that would be very bad. Something about a weird wish for ‘unprecedented’ times.

A German court has explicitly named Mastodon and Bluesky as positive examples of social networks that could retain hosting protection. It gets Bluesky’s feeds wrong, but its reasoning about user control might be more useful than it realises.

I’m not convinced it’s actually a good idea, but attacking Trump’s narcissistic bubble feels like a possible, legitimate strategy. ‘We will wipe Trump’s name & buildings from history & honor his legacy with a 3/4-sized statue of him in all his naked glory’ would be a call I could support.

One thing I hate about this is that I KNOW it will be read & spread as ‘the United Nations’ top human rights body finds US committed war crimes in Iran.’ Which… probably? Time will tell. But my experience w/ other ‘findings of reasonable grounds’ is that people will cite it as hard proof.
