Cloud's Strife

I'm am still somewhat (ok very) provincial about Polartec fleece as a product of Lawrence.

Its a certain demographic who needed to be "motivated off their couches" to vote. Who "need fighters." Or need "excitement"/ someone they can "share a beer with." Politics is not your personal soap opera or wrestling match. And your lack of political enthusiasm without a side show causes real harm!

In general this kinda thing makes me wanna go full analytic philosophy, everyone should have to state the exact proposition under contention and work out the exact bases of any purported disagreements.

Screenshot of tweet from Matt Friedman from NJ Politico reading: I can't help but wonder if one reason so many of us misread this election was Twitter. IIRC, the replies to Sherrill were way more negative than to Jack. I know on a conscious level that Twitter isn't real life, but I'm still affected by it.

It is long past time for New Jersey political reporters to get off Twitter.

Right, we are here because Republicans are trying to hurt people.

And also worth noting that the people you're mad at now the outliers in the party at the moment. The larger D caucus is pissed.

Fucking Greg blocked me for this. Because it's easier to do "Dems in disarray" then report accurately on the party that wants to kill people.

I think it's cool that your cousin on facebook who doesn't understand why Geico doesn't give him his money back if he doesn't get in an accident can be elected to Congress, that's the American success story

Everyone in government should have blinked when air traffic became an issue, it's not a great thing to play chicken with.

This is also true, we keep coming to these moments because white people cannot get their shit together, too many of you vote like assholes, the rest of you will not enact any consequences on the assholes. "But it's my dad" yeah and your dad is a fascist piece of garbage. Act like it.

sclerotic and inoperable?

Anyway that was a loss. They went to war to prevent catastrophically bad policy. There was real cost to doing so. The GOP held its caucus together longer than the democrats could even as they took the blame. Nothing was gained. It would have been better if they hadn't done it knowing this.

No health care, no deal.

Donald Trump naps in public all the time, and the Times' sole coverage of this behavior is correspondent Jess Bidgood suggesting it's a savvy strategy during his criminal trial.

“The planes also don’t have engines” is just great, simple writing.

Trump's eyes wide shut strategy By Jess Bidgood There are a lot of rules in Courtroom 1530 inside the Manhattan Criminal Courts Building, many of which are posted next to the swinging entry doors. Food and beverage are not permitted in the courtroom. Neither is the reading of a newspaper. Beepers and telephones are not to be turned on. But nowhere does it say you have to keep your eyes open. So, often, former President Donald Trump does not.

"But nowhere does it say you have to keep your eyes open." a direct quote from the Times coverage.

From early last year:

Trump naps in public all the time and for whatever reason, correspondents report the behavior as savvy gamesmanship.

there are people who locked in a 30yr mortgage at 3% in 2021 and there will be people paying 7% to borrow over the next half century

Thanks to everybody who read this piece. Its intimidating writing about somebody elses sport, so to have so many read it and not be apalled meant something. Ive been writing about a lot of heavy things lately. This world series made me reconnect with the poetry of sport in a way i never expected

Anyway I know this has been said already but they require this fantasy of love from computers precisely because they have warped themselves into such selfish and repugnant creatures that they’re incapable of eliciting love from real human beings.

'The Red Pill' is not, in fact, chauvinistic; or written to be a revanchist allegory.

The Matrix such a pastiche of the conditions it derived from, and my Grandpa-est Simpson feeling is that the zoomers seem to misunderstand all of it.
