How Liberalism Sabotages Itself Our intentional blindness to bad faith is a loophole fascists use to gain respectability and power.

I’m not sure the problem here is bad faith. The fascists were quite honest about being fascists. The problem is overrating the value of winning a debate with people who are much more interested in normalizing their ideas than persuading.

We have learned nothing.

Vast cost overruns are not due to good design. They are due to no design.

Also, why is our political system so aggressively mediocre?

Jesus wept. The Economist. A right shower.

There’s been another Tweet Chris! But from who?

Not enough talk of wolves, Gavan. Disappointed.

Reggie Watts statement, 1 of 2: “I was disappointed to see that Thom's statement centers his hurt feelings and frames his fans' demands for him to speak up as a "social media witch hunt," instead of recognizing the urgency of their call for him to speak out against the world-historical humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I hope Thom will reflect and decenter himself from the public outcry against the genocide, because if he and his artistic legacy stand for love and humanity as he asserts, he can come to see his fans' actions as an act of loving solidarity with suffering people-a needed affirmation of our humanity in these dark times.”

Reggie Watts statement 2 of 2: “I also want to address Thom's repetition of a common rhetorical tactic of those who are devoted to maintaining the status quo, that one cannot speak up or demand an end to the genocide unless they fully understand the deep "complexity" of this historical conflict. I urge Thom's fans to reject this conviction-neutralizing, demobilizing sentiment and trust their hearts. You don't need to be a geopolitics scholar to know that starving children and slaughtering families is wrong. Your membership in the human family gives you authority and, indeed, responsibility to speak up. All positive change starts with conscious and loving people raising their voices and working together to bring a better world into existence. Please keep fighting until our sisters and brothers in Palestine are free.”

Don Draper pitch meme: Sinn Féin: “The difference is, we’re useless on an all-island basis”

The decision today is honestly a madness, a cruelty that'll be used freely for some time to come to embolden ignorant hate. The omnicrisis (permacrisis?) makes it more important to support and resist.

I do not like when the nerds who post graphs on here are all going "oof" and "jesus christ" at the same time
