There's literally MIT rocket scientists and Pulitzer prize winners who get drawn into this shit, so don't think education level is some prophylactic against the hell the platforms have created.

There is something sad about people who at one point were smart and had interesting things to say becoming people who can only regurgitate the same 3 lines about any topic. Like that’s all this guy says nowadays, the same thing we’ve heard 90,000 times before from Charlie Kirk. He’s been Pod Peopled

And probably also because the guy who serves as their de facto ownership representative is about to retire (h/t @zachrapport.bsky.social for first planting that seed in my brain)

In what might be the logical endpoint of American Zionism, the Heritage Foundation has declared that pro-Palestinian activism is not just antisemitic, but is in fact a shadowy global conspiracy … led by Jews. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...

The whole 'Grok is a boer now' thing is very funny, but it also really exposes how every 'AI tool' isn't just passively biased from training data, but actively designed to shape your worldview according to the interests of the billionaires who made them.

We have a govt that’s engaged in human trafficking, that’s openly allowing a gulf petrostate to bribe its leadership, that’s reshaping the refugee program in overtly racist terms, that’s almost ended American foreign aid entirely, that’s doing its level best to crash the economy from the rose garden

The Trump Administration wants people who will cost more money to society over the rest of their lifespan than they will generate in economic output during that time to die. It's really not more complicated than that.

You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

The MAGAs are one step away from saying that illness is the result of sinful behavior and the sick should be punished rather than helped. They are cruel beyond belief.

The ethos of MAGA is demolishing livable society for themselves because they are so captured by bigotry that the thought of sharing a livable society with others causes them psychological trauma. They've sold their inheritance for a bowl of poison, and they lick their fingers as they gobble it down.

Look at this list and see how little our national parks cost the American people. My park has an appropriated budget of $3 million. That's it. By way of comparison, that's 4 percent of the cost of just one of the fighter jets we've lost overboard in the last week.

ANDOR seems like the rare piece of franchise entertainment that would actually count as “woke” in terms of “closely examining how power structures work against people and how to resist those methods” rather than “a woman get to hold a lightsaber.”

one thing conservatives really loved was when AIDS was killing (in their mind exclusively) gays and blacks and they really miss that era and want to return to it. They're trying to re-engineer that outcome by spreading conspiracy theories to dissuade use of effective treatments.

I’ve seen so many attempts to explain exactly why this is but the only explanatory framework that works is that the media has an extremely strong conservative bias

Most of the guys saying "it's a brutal time for young men, it's confusing" - are not young men - don't have kids, or - aren't close with their kids - are selling something It's pure projection. If you need help just say you're confused and ask for help. Go to therapy.

As long as money is speech, both parties are for sale. This isn’t a false equivalency, it’s a major systemic problem in our system—a loophole drilled into it deliberately by corporate allies on the Supreme Court going back to Nixon’s court.

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.
