🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

At some point we also have to deal with the fact that one of the two parties is openly hostile to democracy. If you have to win big every election or else the country falls into despotism we're all just playing Russian roulette every few years

"if people would just vote for the lesser evil-"

Everyone will not just

If your solution to some problem relies on "If everyone would just..." then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not [sic] time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they're not going to start now.

During the discourse about The Odyssey, I read through a few years of academic articles about adaptation and mostly what I learned is that there are multiple schools of thought about what adaptation is/should be and the one where a film should be faithful to the original text is very out of fashion.

My girl cat is only standoffish to strangers and other cats. But for me and my wife, she is so clingy that she will try to fit herself inside any suitcase that my wife or I start packing for a trip.

The Democrats’ go-to strategy of “become more like Republicans” always loses because Republicans aren’t going to vote for “Republicans without the Republican branding”. You’re way too bad at winning to be telling people “how politics work”.

What I like about Ed Sheeran's "apolitical" excuse is that it reveals what "apolitical" really means for most white people. It doesn't mean apolitical, it just means "goes with whatever the majority does." That is radically distinct from apolitical.

It is infuriating how many moderate Dems expect trans people to sacrifice their rights now for the long term "Greater Good". However, by pure circumstance, cis-het moderate Dems are not expected to sacrifice anything themselves.

One of the MAHA leaders that AOC met with is Zen Honeycutt. Here are Zen's demands for winning MAHA votes. 1 and 2 should be considered non -starters for any Democrat.

Tweet from 5/22

Zen Honeycutt @zenho. 22 May
Just a heads up, Democrat Candidates: There İs not a single MAHA voter that will vote for you if you are:
1. Bashing Kennedy 2. Forcing vaccine mandates 3. Doing nothing about pesticides in our food It's a stretch-I am not saying MAHA will vote Dem, and am not speaking for all just from what am seeing...but MAHA definitely won't vote Dem if you are doing the above three things.
Want our votes? Collaborate with Kennedy. Let kids go to school and summer camp unvaccinated if their parents choose ( my body, my choice, right?). Do something about any one of the 86 pesticides that have been banned in other countries. And some MAHA voters might consider..
