When you understand how much of politics is just media choreography, you realize that so much of criticism of politicians is just journos raging that they missed their cue

the next admin should do what obama did with for profit colleges to the online gambling industry. just stomp on them with the regulatory power of the state until they run out of money.

The intentionality of this varies but the world the transphobes are creating is one in which your safety depends on being readily intelligible as a particular gender and conforming to the expectations of every nearby busybody

Did he ever share? Lol

Love globalism, not a huge fan of the globes

Being active in Texas politics is constantly lowering your expectations

I don’t normally bitch about this stuff publicly, but after Charlie Kirk’s death, prominent right-wing commentators spent weeks calling me and several of my friends “terrorists” and “fascists.” So, was that incitement to murder?

I understand they were already on odd years and that moving to November is better but if we're gonna move elections around I really want them to just move it to an even year.

Dislike the change. Moving to odd years depresses turnout.

i know house of cards is gauche now, but one of the first real "oh something is very wrong here" moments I had about the press was when the press was doing 'tee hee how naughty' bits about kate mara's character (the journalist at not-buzzfeed)

Ugh

I don't know what to call it, but there is a very common and annoying social media phenomenon where people demand validation for mildly antisocial behaviour, instead of just feeling mildly guilty about it like a normal person.

This is pretty In line with the kind of coercion you normally see in custody battles where one parent has immigrant status.

Yes custody has been settled but still.

Yeah it's pretty common to weaponize immigrant status in custody battles and this seems like that sort of thing even though custody has already been settled.

Complaints about Buddhist monks being just thugs and bandits are a pretty persistent theme in 16th century Japanese writing, to the point where you see a lot of admiration for the Jesuits specifically for being actually pious and ascetic.

Huh?? This is what I think of when I think of NIMBYism

I don't know what even the point of arguing with these people is anymore, but the idea that "the crime gene" had been weeded out by 19th-20th century Europe is something you have to be a genuine imbecile to believe.

The exit economy is here. Black Women are paying the highest price | Fortune This isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. And it's not a recovery, it's a redistribution of opportunity.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

It’s more of a Graeco-Roman “martial homoromantic bisexuality”. Women are for producing heirs, men are for actual love and companionship.

reality requires a reset, I think

It all kinda unravels when you realize that this is what the reactionaries actually believe and that the whole satanic edifice of klantholicism is to keep you in this mental prison

the rich and powerful being slightly ashamed about all of it is probably a (societally non-specific) load bearing requirement for political stability

People really don't get the emphasis people all around place on taking the "correct" path to office.

Ive had friends who ran for office with the local establishment backing them and they get so mad at the existence of candidates without that backing.

Low key people underated how much of the initial hatred of AOC was this.

a lot of people are interpreting this as “wow elite liberals really hate the left” and while thats true, what’s mainly going on here is that elite liberals hate anyone who is young and did not complete the cursus honorum of local politics

The demonization of feminism has been so successful that you can say something as anodyne as “I think women are oppressed as women, and that gender is a hierarchy” and people will come at you like, “Wow. I didn’t know you were a racist.”

I'm a longtime fan of @cnliberalism.org and I even get this was probably was the intent. But it was still outrageously offensive and ill-phrased, it's shockingly bad. It merits disavowal and apology and taking away this person's access to the account, not messing around with shrugging it off.

Disturbingly reminds me of what happened to the Libertarian Party and how it started, randos being allowed to run the state and local twitter accounts and post increasingly insane and awful stuff, while the national org refused to stamp it out. Defending or equivocating on it is... a very bad call.

"The truth is that there are simply people who are antisocial by nature, and their capacity for living in an advanced society is made possible only by a vigilant law."

This guy clearly has no problem with just lying to your face and I think you're a fucking idiot if you pay money to read his substack.
