this is a bad thing to do to someone, especially when you insist on anonymity for yourself! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Wait he obviously did something specifically wrong. That's what the Gizmodo article is about.

Do you think Zohran Mamdani is a celebrity?

I sincerely cannot think of a less provocative, less trolly thinker than Yglesias whose whole thing is mostly just to insist that obviously true things are in fact true.

can you share a source for the KPD actually saying "nach Hitler, uns?" or "Nach Hitler kommen wir"? I don't dispute that the slogan captures something about their attitude, but I've had trouble sourcing the quote. Ironically, the one example I have found is from an SPD figure.

Planned obsolescence feels related but different. IIRC the magazine Consumer Reports emerges out of the post-Popular Front world. Would be interesting to look also at Vance Packard's The Waste Makers –

So why do you lie about other people?

Why are you lying about this? There is no burner account.

one of my basic principles (which made Noah Smith really angry at me) is that I don't keep the confidence of racists

One of the two times I've interacted with David Shor in person, he started saying viciously anti-Arab stuff entirely unprompted.

yeah, Yglesias regularly takes money to shill for the crypto industry alongside fascists

Petrzela supports for a war, which I admit is an unconventional way of opposing the war.

Is this supposed to be a threat? What are the consequences? Claire Potter unblocked me on Twitter yesterday specifically to fight about Gaza. I'm not broken up that she doesn't like me.

We can't all be Tenured Radicals - it's not fair, but that's life.

No one should tell anyone what to think, believe, or say. But the 2014 version of @tenuredradical.bsky.social has a petition you might be interested in signing. What happened, Claire?

This from the person whose defense of the Gaza genocide involved an illiterate reference to "Tigre" Ethiopia

If you happen to be an historian, and you happen to be in NYC and you belong to the AHA, please come to the AHA Business Meeting (Sunday 1/5, 5:15 pm) to vote in favor of the resolution condemning scholasticide in Gaza. Every vote is needed, as there will be plenty of opposition.

He was a Republican, a fact which Gage does not dispute.
