Every single thing about the world that used to bring joy or value is being ruined systematically from the top-down, but the fallout from that, in all its particulars, is being blamed almost exclusively on the people at the bottom with no ability to change it.

the dutch govt, and the vvd in particular, are so good. sorry we had to blow up this nexperia situation. sorry we just have to pass this draconian immigration law that no one believes will relieve stresses in the system. sorry we have to invite another far-right party into govt. bedankt voor uw stem

in addition to being a big creepy doofus this guy also spent the 90's pushing for the regulatory reform that cleared the way for the 2008 financial crisis so it is really unclear what enlightened ideas this guy really needs to be teaching. but those ideas are probably really valuable to some donors

the payoff for making a concerted effort to read more dutch political commentary is that now I get to be disappointed in two languages.

William Douglas' dissent fucks hard for a guy born in 1898! "It is the future of the student [...] that is imperiled by today's decision. If a parent keeps his child out of school [...] then the child will be forever barred from [...] the new and amazing world of diversity that we have today."

1. Today, the New York Times Editorial Board published a piece titled "Trump's Shameful Campaign Against Transgender Americans." I criticize the paper's attempt to wash away the paper's own culpability in ushering in an era of eradication-based policies. Subscribe to support our journalism.

thinking a lot about the guy on a ski lift last week chatting up a young college student complaining about all the brush he was required to clear before he was allowed to sell his third home in Malibu. it was burdensome but also he got really ripped!

when SV people say they want to drive efficiencies in defense, they really mean they want in on the MIC money spigot and are fine with not really doing anything for the country's defense capabilities. worse can even be better for them if it means more money for improvements ad nauseam.
