no, you just don't understand the words being used.

you see, calling charlie kirk a "piece of shit" or just quoting him directly is "celebration" and also a "call for violence".

Girls don't play D&D. Saint Gary Gygax told me that. /s

But seriously, this is the way to go!

It is less a mass deportation regime as it is a mass kidnapping and indefinite detention regime

When in doubt, just ask yourself: am I going as hard as the initial design of the 1st Minnesota Gettysburg monument?

Already seeing Dems say they should run on local, kitchen-table issues in 2026, and I don’t understand how this miserable excuse for a political party expects voters to react as if there’s a national political crisis if they themselves aren’t willing to talk about a national political crisis

This is a clear clarion signal for Dems: keep attacking on this. Keep on. Even when your consultants tell you to stop. Even when the short-attention-span press gets bored of it. Even when *you* get bored of it. Keep on.

I'm gonna need just one major paper or someone to finally report on the pedocon shit that is the basis for so much of the GOP platform. Yous write breathless "Vance Says Librarians Are Touching Kids" press releases while actively allowing pedos like this to legislate their way into kids pants.

I think the worldwide rise of the far right has come from the way that the internet has provided this endlessly permissive social environment to anyone who wants it. Invent your own reality, adopt an overtly genocidal worldview, it doesn’t matter: you can find a community to indulge you.

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.

One of the problems with having a profoundly anti-intergenerational elite is that it honestly does not occur to them that people below a certain age literally have no memory of what they think is the normalcy we can supposedly return to

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

there are a lot of people in your life, since you joined the Times, who you think are jealous of you, but that's not really what's going on. they're just contemptuous of how little you care about actual things happening to real people relative to the words which decribe them.

why would "popularists" keep bringing up coalition-splitting issues. could it be that they have sincere political beliefs they want to impose and are hiding behind a facade of just-the-facts empiricism? couldn't be

I will not call a person names on the computer I will not call a person names on the computer I will not call a person names on the computer I will not call a person names on the computer I will not JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW A POLITICIAN’S PLATFORM DOESN’T MEAN IT DOESN’T EXIST Y I will not call a

In the UK this week I kept encountering people who were like "So when is Trump going to drop Stephen Miller. Because obviously the racism is not sincere and was just a cynical electoral ploy" and I had to be like "No these people are sincere and avowed eugenicists. Like they are being serious."

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

Can’t wait to have someone explain how this is all a result of economic anxiety and “woke overreach”

As someone who has been broke but not actually poor, yuuuuup. It never quite came to it once I got my first job after college, but I always hypothetically had my parents as a fallback in desperate situations. I was routinely broke but never actually poor and am not the Poor Person Whisperer.

Right, but a lot of important foundational research isn't profitable right up until it is. Private industry used to be able to count on the government to fund the years of research it can take to get to the profitable part. Now it's just not going to happen.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

anytime a dork tells you the usps needs to be profitable ask them how profitable sewers are

As a general rule, law enforcement are very quick to release body cam footage if it makes them look good, yet this supposed footage isn't out yet.

I’m serious about this. They say they have actual footage of lawmakers body slamming ICE officers. Show that footage or shut up.

(1/3) setting the practical questions about climate and power consumption aside, i think it’s creating an epistemic nightmare. having accurate knowledge requires consistent, reliable sources. LLMs are incapable of accurately and consistently sourcing accurate information from primary sources…

Thank you! Just now listening to this episode, and I immediately thought of the toddler room (14mo-2yr) of my son's daycare. They allowed free play, including wrestling, but would give a lot more leeway to boys wrestling each other than when a girl was involved. Socialization starts young!

“It was worth it because we got to continue centering what was happening in Gaza.”

Isn’t that false? Gaza is considerably further from the center of attention now, with Trump and his abuses sucking up so much oxygen. If Harris were president, Gaza would be more centered in US discourse.

I was 28 in 2016 and this is an insane characterization of what growing up as a white man in my cohort was like. Demonstrative of how out-of-touch the cultural right is with actual American life www.theredneckintellectual.com/p/right-wing...
