“Racism is good and policy should be designed to reflect that principle,” couched in euphemism, is an acceptable opinion in the anglosphere leadership class but “racism is bad and policy should be designed to reflect that principle” is wokeness gone amok and unacceptable bsky.app/profile/okwo...

Brian Schatz seems like a good illustration of how staying on Twitter has completely warped some people's perspectives on politics. He used to seem like a smart, decently progressive and now he's sounding like Fetterman Lite

can’t find a night when everyone’s reliably free for it, huh

there's the principle of charity and there's being a mark and if trying to sort out the difference in practice scares you then I've got an amazing investment opportunity for you

Not one call from a government official, the police, or hospital personnel. For a guy who was murdered in cold blood in full view of a crowd while trying to help others. Nothing will ever happen at all. The people in charge don't give one shit that this man is dead. That's so fucked and a half.

Facing federal science budget cuts, biologist Daniel Blumstein resorted to uploading marmot videos to OnlyFans to raise funds for his marmot research. However, when he uploaded his driver’s license for verification, OnlyFans informed him that his appearance didn’t match the marmots in the videos.

‘OnlyMarms’: Marmots Are on OnlyFans to Raise Money for Research (Gift Article)A team of scientists uploaded videos of the squirrel-like rodents in the wild on the adult-content site OnlyFans to raise money amid government budget cuts.www.nytimes.com

Russian drone shot down by Romania.

zohran is a completely normal (mixed-market socialist/new-deal liberal/whatever) and it’s completely frying the brains of people with too much money or whose livelihoods are built on catering to the opinions of people with too much money

Mitch McConnell being absent and safe-R seat being empty is a GOOD thing I feel like I’m losing my mind here with people furious at Andy Beshear

The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.

See what happens when your political ideology and corresponding party get captured by a narcissistic strongman? A fucking socialist gets to eat your lunch on deregulation boosting the local economy! That used to be one of your bread and butter issues!

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

Today's delay to the Paramount-WBD deal means that, as a practical matter, Paramount will not take control of CNN before the midterm election in the U.S. >>>

I know the answer! I started rereading @kevinmkruse.bsky.social’s One Nation Under God which is about exactly what turned Americans against FDR-style New Deal policies: religious propaganda that “socialism” = “communism” = anti-Christian. “One Nation Under God”. Mostly funded by business owners.

It is inevitable that at some point a mercenary group is going to set up a site where you upload a .xls of GPS coordinates, and then check out with Apple Pay. Your targets will be destroyed by drones shipped near to their targets by a "mothership drone" within 24 hours. What a time to be alive.

lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism

"In 1791, the first generation of Americans demanded that freedom of the press be part of the Constitution, counting on journalists to serve as a check on corruption and the abuse of power. Some debts are never fully paid." theconversation.com/how-americas...

How America’s newspapers lost their voiceDespite the steady decline in daily newspaper editorials, a longtime editor suggests ways for news organizations to restore the spirit of editorials that can hold public officials accountable.theconversation.com

Part of building a modern science framework was to get away from science and arts to be part of a corrupt grift. Patents are democratically examined b/c you can’t bribe your way to excellence.

And again, it doesn’t even matter if these were true. He, a random unelected and unappointed guy, doesn’t get to end run the law, Constitution, & Congress to decide how to set policy. He did, & therefore needs to go to jail for the rest of his life.
