Writing something where I will be liberally citing @lilymasonphd.bsky.social's latest and realizing that I can't cite every single thing I would like to because then I'm just reprinting her work. So, I've gotta thread about it instead. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...
Screenshot of the article website. Title is: Polarization Is Not the Problem. Author is Lilliana Mason. Journal is the Journal of Democracy, Volume 37, Number 4, October 2026. From Johns Hopkins University Press.

"In other words, the people who are the most 'polarized' in the U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who oppose racists and sexists."
Screenshot of article which reads: These numbers are relatively similar between Democrats and Repub-
licans, which often leads political pundits to claim this is more evidence 
of “polarization,” and that both sides are equally to blame. However, 
a closer look tells a more interesting story. The people who are most 
likely to vilify and dehumanize their partisan opponents are Republicans 
who are high in racism and sexism and Democrats who oppose racism 
and sexism. The people who are least likely to vilify and dehumanize 
their political opponents are Republicans who are low in racism and sex-
ism. One explanation for these patterns is that those Republicans who 
are racist and sexist vilify and dehumanize Democrats because they see 
the Democratic Party as a party of racial minorities and women; and 
Democrats who score low in racism and sexism will vilify and dehu-
manize Republicans because they consider Republicans to be racist and 
sexist. In other words, the people who are the most “polarized” in the 
U.S. electorate are those who are racist and sexist, and those who op-
pose racists and sexists.

a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections:

Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again."

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m
Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired."

•..
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m
He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged.

Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m
Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions."

...
Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m
Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately.
"The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

damn aaron swartz tried to warn everybody about sam altman
One of Altman's batch mates in the first Y Combinator cohort was Aaron Swartz, a brilliant but troubled coder who died by suicide in 2013 and is now remembered in many tech circles as something of a sage. Not long before his death, Swartz expressed concerns about Altman to several friends. "You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted," he told one. "He is a sociopath. He would do anything.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants
NYT headline reads: "The Young People Fixated on Who Gets to Work in America

For some Gen Z conservatives, H-1B visas are a hot new topic."Excerpt reads: "Take Mitchell Boone, a 27-year-old Trump supporter. Five years after leaving a computer science program at the University of Missouri, and what he says are over 1,000 job applications later, Mr. Boone claims he has landed just a single job interview.

Today, he says he keeps three part-time jobs in Greenville, S.C., and grows his own food to cut down on expenses. Having abandoned hopes of working in tech, Mr. Boone says he is exploring alternative fields like construction or farming.

Mr. Boone, who said he voted for Mr. Trump in the last two presidential elections, spoke of his post-grad years with an air of exasperation. But he’s finally settled on an explanation for his bleak economic straits: the H-1B."On his LinkedIn, it says he spent one year at University of Missouri-Columbia, studying computer science from Aug 2022 to Sept 2023. He says he dropped out to join the workforce. Skillset includes Windows and attention to detail.

The reason for military rules of engagement and adhering to laws of armed combat is not “political correctness,” it’s better strategy, serves long-term national interest, and is a way to make an awful part of the human experience a little less awful, based on lessons learned from centuries of blood.
