As a NASA astronaut, Terry Virts watched once-trusted cosmonaut colleagues turn into Putin propagandists in exchange for superficial luxuries. It's a lesson in human nature, and a dynamic I've seen play out many times—and not just in Russia. thenextmove.substack.com/p/space-unit...

the US is so phenomenally wealthy that you can include items like "spend over $1k on travel" and "own a car that you drive 15,000 miles" in an index you refer to as the minimum quality of life index and not immediately get laughed out of the room

political journalists obsess over the public’s lack of trust in our profession but strangely see that as downstream of things like “we didn’t talk enough about how biden was old” and not “many of us appear to be indifferent to a nihilistic attack on the constitution”

Axios level bullshit, don’t want to give it more than it deserves, but the idea that democrats will win by going in hard on an issue that no longer matters but still divides their voters fiercely, and that voters will love them for acting like a bunch of losers is the product of diseased minds.

Perhaps some of my Andor quibbles are magnified by finishing Clair Obscur and feeling like the A+++ story really let me down at the last second. Are they plotholes or did my brain just twist so hard I can't sort it all out? Both are great pieces I'll be thinking about a lot after finishing.

I watched the talk episode about the Andor finale and... I spent the entire season wondering what the arc for Bix was gonna be (anyone else who got squirrely got consequences) and I'm not really sure how I feel about the answer being "domesticity was waiting like a prize for Andor being a good boy".

This is utter nonsense Medicaid is a needs based program If any American doesn’t have sufficient resources, they qualify-even if they’re working So if Mike Johnson wants to remove employed, “able bodied young men” from Medicaid, there’s a simple fix Raise the minimum wage But of course-he won’t

This epitomizes one of the biggest problems with the "new right," which is that many of them cannot distinguish between "cancel culture" and "having standards." You simply do not have to praise someone for saying "Heil Hitler." That's not intellectual bravery. It's depravity.
