We're all desperate for a safety heuristic. We're all desperate for a simple way to make sure this doesn't ever happen again. But there's no such thing and there's no shortcut. There's only safeR, never fully safe. And prevention. And repairs. And it's gonna hurt the whole way

the thing i can't get over is that geller had to have known this would get out. he could have had a normal life after dodging this bullet, but instead decided to become an influencer in left/lib spaces where he must've known discovery of this was death of his career. psychotic

what always bugs me about how the "i always knew he was bad" conversation goes when stuff comes out about a prominent figure's abuse, is it's not true that you can never tell, or that there aren't any signs. the point is that "signs" are not actual evidence, and people can easily misinterpret things

Take a look at Mothership's homepage and just look at the range of bylines it's already enabled. One of only a few, green shoots in the games media right now and as the last few days have highlighted, its existence feels absolutely vital.

Black text on white page that reads as follows:

New Yorkers who lost their SNAP benefits because of the federal government's expanded work requirements can reapply starting today, October 1.

To find out whether you're eligible to get your benefits back or qualify for an exemption, call 718-SNAP-NOW (718-762-7669), visit nyc.gov/ACCESSHRA, or use the ACCESS HRA app.

What a brilliant piece. It reads like a fictional journey to a fictional society in part because she is describing a cult. A man more or less LARPing into oblivion while causing harm in the medium and short term.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake.  above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services.  the question matching this image is:  "How can I invest in my child's future?"

Don't forget that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wants to let the GOP get away with all of this. He said let's turn the page and get on with business. He's on the side of the Nazis if he thinks this kind of thing is acceptable in the United States of America. This can't be allowed to slide. It can't.

Once you learn that not a single major US news outlet used the phrase "Hamas-ran health ministry" until after 10.17.23 you really start to see how pernicious this stuff is. Nobody really disputed that the GHM was accurate, even Israel admitted so, but that didn't matter. Anyway now it is spreading

It's good that we invented things like "government" and "the economy" but we can't meaningfully participate in them if the people in charge are constantly rubbing in our faces that these things are fake, and in fact you are a naive doofus if you think otherwise. That's a society on life support

We don't use the term "genocide" too much. In fact, based solely on the legal definition, I'd argue we use it far too little. Maybe if we were quicker to label atrocities as genocides, we would have fewer atrocities.

Traditionally the King's job was store grain & distribute it during food shortages. But this was the Enlightenment. So they decided "Actually, when grain prices go stupid high, that's good! Bc it motivates farmers (nobles) to grow more grain. If we stop handouts, famines will stop too!"

What Theodore Roosevelt understood and Franklin Delano Roosevelt perfected is that the President is a creature of the modern media. The attempt by the oligarch to control modern media through CBS and CNN is a product here. This is why a denial to give the SOTU on camera would be a disruption.
