stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I feel like maybe this is the left-wing version of q-anon? 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I basically agree with this. I’d specifically name miller and hegseth as administration members who seem to me to be actual fascists, in a way that trump is too stupid and Vance is too spineless to be 020
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 10/10/2026I’m unconvinced that you understand who mengele was and what he did 010
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 10/10/2026As someone who has listened to a lot of hours of Peter’s podcasts, i can assure you that he is obviously and passionately against police violence. It’s very weird to go after him for this 0450
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 08/10/2026The implied counterfactual is that there is a timeline where the government stood by and allowed the pandemic to kill another million people, and that this resulted in no significant sociopolitical upheaval and its attendant economic decline. 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 08/10/2026"Socialism" is the main word I think of now when I'm considering descriptive vs prescriptive linguistics. Which is, you know, fairly often. 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 07/10/20261. Yes it is, which is why the term “sex worker” exists. 2. Whatever you think of MT (and if sex workers) she is not a sex worker. 3. This is an easy win: if you’re the feminist party, act like it. 4. Please go away. 100
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My friend, there is a whole spectrum of rhetorical possibilities for you to explore that lie somewhere between “making a propaganda documentary about her” and “posting misogynist memes about her.” 100
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 06/10/2026probably an unpopular opinion, but I think it would be best if instead of this kind of thing we adopted an attitude of relentless classiness towards MT 110
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Im sure the actors are consenting adults but aren’t they kind of coded as teenagers in the script? For me that’s the grossest part 230
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There is literally nothing mamdani could do to convince you he is not a vicious antisemite. Sit down. 100

stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Can someone tell me whether hanania’s last sentence is tongue in cheek or earnest? 040
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Exactly. The premise of the ban on athletes betting is not that sports betting is bad in itself, but that athletes have moral hazard on those bets 030
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I’m sure the government interfering in media for explicitly ideological reasons would be super popular! 100
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 04/10/2026We need to differentiate between “commitment to a set of ethical and political values” vs “motivated reasoning based on political affiliation.” Only the second kind of bias is a problem 040
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Preaching to the choir here, but it seems relevant to the argument that lying is currently correlated with being right wing 020
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Hard disagree. The question isn’t whether he deserves it. It’s “do you want to help normalize a culture of boundaryless harassment of political opponents?” 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Senator Kennedy giving big “dumb guy who thinks he’s a smart guy” energy 010
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This is a surprisingly weak argument from you. 2020-2021 was not a normal time! 110
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 20/09/2026It’s 100% this. The people who think it’s part of a sinister plan to militarize Washington are actually *underestimating* his depravity 100
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I think key to this succeeding would be some intermediate speed range where you get a fine in the mail but your driving is unaffected 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Just gonna take a quick sec to completely disavow this psycho take. 120
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 16/08/2026You’re committing a fallacy of degree. You’ve unaccountably gone from “there are elements of corruption in modern capitalism” to “the whole concept of pooling resources to invest in profit-making ventures is game at its core” 100
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Yes, in the sense that when you buy stocks (which is what index funds are) you are buying (risky) productive assets. When you gamble you're exposing yourself to risk but nothing is being produced. 100
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I mean, in general, yeah. But I'm pretty sure this particular policy is actually an Adams initiative. 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 31/07/2026This is a stretch imo. Touting your own left-coded, conspiracy-adjacent, unfalsifiable hypothesis is probably not the best strategy for combatting right-wing propaganda. 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 30/07/2026@ifbookspod.bsky.social Ever wonder what the opposite of "shut up and dribble" was? 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Well, mamdami’s lawyers disagree with you 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 22/07/2026No. It’s a huge and dangerous logical leap from “this man has violated the Rome statute” to “the mayor of nyc should try to arrest a sitting head of state” 100
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Great, isn’t it neat that you can do that? Although personally where you see “sketchy corporation” i see “people who made something useful for society and deserve to be financially rewarded for it” 010
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 15/07/2026lol you’re just wrong. A lot of folks are excited about typst because it really is that good. 360
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 11/07/2026The anti AI reaction here seems wildly disproportionate to what is actually happening 100
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 17/06/2026Honestly “how did we, as a party, allow ourselves to get into such an absurd situation, and how might we prevent a similar situation in the future” seems like a pretty reasonable discussion prompt 000
stwwilkinson.bsky.social @stwwilkinson.bsky.social · 11/04/2026@ddmeyer.bsky.social Wondering what's your take on this: whenever I assign a problem related to maximizing the area of a rectangle with a constrained perimeter, it flops, because my students have an unexamined (but correct!) belief in the isoperimetric theorem, and use it to bypass the question. 000
