Celebrate every little win, because there will be some. But nobody has a responsibility to feel bad about the outcome of an election they could not vote in nor volunteer time to effect the outcome of. You might care about that outcome but it's not *yours*.

The more mature side of me is learning you just have to feel your feeling, then compartmentalize it and find meaningful action as a balm against that feeling. If you stop at I felt bad, not I felt bad so then I... you're missing the point. I used to be more of a sad sack, but it's deeply useless.

Whenever some company (say Anthropic) says, "if can't have this we will go belly up" and I post "Then let him die", this is what I'm referencing.

Fuck yeah, Turnverein ruled “Hey you wanna lift heavy weights and discuss liberalism and human rights?” “Hell yeah brother” Turners formed some of the very first and oldest gyms in the US when they arrived after the Revolutions of 1848. That’s right, gym culture belongs to intellectual lefties

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

they always show their asses eventually because the thing is that you cannot truly, sincerely care about women if you don’t care about trans women. the minute you carve off any one subcategory of women you claim are “lesser” in some way, you’ve declared women’s rights to be conditional by definition

I feel for the average farmer, but a lot of them voted for the orange buffoon, and now we see what that actually means. He doesn't care that diesel is $7, because his oil mates are making a fortune. He is the most corrupt politician the world has seen.

Another corruption story, and the volume makes it hard to absorb one before the next arrives. The real work is understanding why the guardrails failed. The good news: democracies have faced corrupt regimes before, and we know how to hold power accountable.

The undersold thing on Mamdani is he takes credit. A good politician always does, especially mayors. But it's gotten a bad name recently. None of this self-effacing Biden garbage, "good government." Mamdani personally delivers this. He says "we," but we know what he means.
