One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

It’s all well and good for tech leaders to endorse UBI. But it feels convenient to only focus on a distant political prospect. The GOP, right now, is doing reverse-UBI (work requirements on SNAP). It’d be nice to hear more objections to that.

I think a lot of podcasters in this vein should be interpreted as “reactionary” in the most literal sense that they are extremely vacuous and form their politics by following trends of resentment against whatever they see on social media

The thing is, the miasma of social media & the negativity it fosters *also* insured that almost no one was aware of the incredible advances in climate & energy policy under Biden. It's not *just* the economy. It's everything. That's the point: the info environment rewards doom & resentment.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.

Fascinating to compare it to October 7 because, since then, Israel has absolutely demolished its diplomatic standing in the world by targeting civilians and genocidal rhetoric; and judging by the rhetoric the past few days, conservatives risk doing the same.

He was an advocate of violence against his political opponents and took positions like “the civil rights act should be repealed,” “the Jews are replacing white people,” and “Ukraine is an evil country and we should let them die.” Kirk’s entire career played a nontrivial role in getting us here.

A core purpose of the occupation is collective punishment of DC simply for being overwhelmingly Democratic, and as a subset of that because it was DC police who responded to defend and re-take the Capitol. That is why they passionately hate DC now more than they did in the first term.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

I think @opinionhaver.bsky.social's theory of glonzo kinda explains why Trump thrives in the internet era. People are constantly creating imaginary issues, and Trump has this magic ability to completely go along with it, rather than treating them with the contempt they deserves.

It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.
