This is correct, and it's why the left should have been all over Russiagate, an exceptional true-crime story about transnational fascism and corruption, instead of dismissing it as lib nonsense because a bunch of pro-Kremlin rapists said so.

even if it was good policy, this shit is completely ancillary to the goal of actually limiting the power of big tech. Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and is trying to start a global race war, your response to that can’t be “kids should be on their phones less”

The thing about solar geoengineering is that there is zero evidence that humankind is currently capable of the sort of global governance needed to deploy it responsibly and ethically, and if it were capable, it probably would not be needed.

I highly encourage them to follow through on what will definitely be a very popular policy. There’s no way this could frustrate their own voters at all. GOP voters never use these airports.

When I lived in Korea ~15 years ago, the norm if you got delivery was for the food to be delivered on proper plates / bowls, which when you were done you would put outside your apartment to be picked up by the delivery driver. I recently found out that is no longer the case, very disappointing.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”

Of course he’ll accept bribes because he has absolutely no moral scruples, but the problem with the war was that it was becoming a catastrophe he couldn’t bluster people into treating as brilliant, so instead he switched sides and surrendered and he’s going to try to sell that as brilliant instead
