It started under Newt Gingrich. We’ve been pining for the lost days of bipartisanship since 1995.

Millions dead because of an illegal war, but they were foreigners so who cares?

His thing is that he’s a serial adulterer.

Bill C was a Southern Jim Crow type who knew how to sell racism to white suburbanites.

Clinton’s gone from having dinner with Jamal Khashoggi to praising Saudi Arabia because they paid her to.

Ghoulish human being.

A whole lot of people in global public health regret tying their professional reputations to the Gates Foundation.

Silicon Valley’s Other Candidate.

No matter who you vote for, Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos win.

If they are Southern and white, “Native American ancestor” is usually just code for their ancestors who were passing.

The elections were manipulated, but the EU guaranteed “rights” are all bullshit anyway. All Putin has to do is rig a single election, and every European goes full nationalist “Fuck those ‘insert nationalist insult here.’”

Silicon Valley simultaneously embracing AI and 667 schedules makes me realize that is all theater to the managers.

They work to work so they can see each other work. There is no larger goals or vision.

Heinekin, Sam Addams, Red Strike, Trappist Ales, and Sapporo - the "top shelf" beers of the 1990s.

"The Purity Test" is a way for centrists to feel superior after advocating for bigotry and genocide.

Chris Hayes posted a similar thing and is blocking anyone dissenting, so my guess is that it is a paid influencer campaign and can be ignored.

We don't want leaders who target vulnerable populations. That this makes liberals reach for the thesaurus to tell us why they don't care just clairifies your side's soulessness.

The right fucks kids. Liberals put kids in prisons for the right to fuck.

We don't think this makes liberals "better."

There’s a reason all the Sovereign Citizen crowd see a Sheriffs as the only legitimate source of government authority.

CORRECT

Rural American and Immigrant America are deeply intermarried at this point.

That doesn’t eliminate the deep racism, but it does mean that “us against them” gets very complicated when state violence is involved.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.

It was a "sideshow," I was told.

If you have a rice cooker, it makes good grits. Porridge setting.

The way you know no one in anime is white is that occasionally there will be an American or European or any other nationality character, and woof do they let you know it.

Well, we are also moving toward dismantling Medicare/Medicaid/Social, so maybe having seniors around isn’t part of the plan anymore.

Not very efficient, old people.

Even then, modern building spent a ton of money not to have shared HVAC. Every unit in a newer building has its own ducts and units.

The builders and regulators do a better job understanding and mitigating the dangers of shared air than modern hospitals.

Protestors have been demonized my entire life.

Hippies were hooligans, WTO was just rich kids breaking windows, and the war anti-war protestors were funded by Soros.

The only “good ones” were the Civil Rights Movement, because they wore suits and were politely non-violent.

If you dig into what those terms mean, it is hard not to suspect that Labour has just gone full fash.

Abolish cowards.

Been reading fan comments on Fallout - another decades old property with messy and contradictory canon - where people get upset that the TV show violated their personal versions of canon that exist nowhere else.

It’s a bizarre way to engage in art that mostly leads people to hate what they loved.

I absolutely understand. I work for an R1 on the biomedical side, and I have had more than one “Burn it all down!” moment due to healthcare.

So much of our anti-science moment is led by grifters who feast on that outrage.

In Southern Gothic, money is assumed to be derived from current or past evil.

Don’t anyone show this to Susan or I’m never gonna be allowed to get an outdoor wok burner

The second reason we committed to regularization is purely pragmatic. The West needs people. Currently, few of its countries have a rising population growth rate. Unless they embrace migration, they will experience a sharp demographic decline that will prevent them from keeping their economies and public services afloat. Their gross domestic products will stagnate. Their public health care and pension systems will suffer. Neither A.I. nor robots will be able to prevent this outcome, at least not in the short or medium term. The only option to avoid decline is to integrate migrants in the most orderly and effective way possible.
