On the topic of “our” duty to persuade abusers, a tale:
——
THE FINGER-TAKER’S SON
Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the king’s finger-taker.

if the left had a media apparatus comparable to the right, you wouldn’t need to go hunting for a left Joe Rogan; it would create him

Totally agree; composers back in the day really knew how to close out a piece of music! First thing that came to my mind was Pines of Rome, followed by Shostakovich 5.

The reason conservatives are so mad about things all the time is because they don’t understand things.

Oh my god please can we have 1000 more moments like these? FINALLY someone is calling these little freaks out.

Yeah I dunno maybe the reason it’s “never been done before” is because it was blindingly obvious to previous administrations that it’s a terrible idea. Just spitballing here, Mr. Speaker. The government handles some things that are so important that “whoops my bad” doesn’t cut it.

I’ll bet Elon is just gonna feed the responses for his 5 bullet points to an AI. It’d be a shame if folks flooded that inbox with prompts to that AI that ruined the process.
