One reason I don't think it's useful to argue about the correct tactics for Democrats to win elections is winning elections isn't enough. They've won the presidency 5 out of 9 times since 1992 and where are we now. The question is how we create something better than a dead cat bounce party

Revenue at Duolingo in 2024 was up 41% on 23 to $748M. Net income was up by 451% for same period and yet they're firing workers. We've long been at "insatiable greed" point of late stage capitalism. People may feel helpless but there's a very easy way to kick companies like this. Delete their apps.

Kinda nuts that shows like Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Owl House, Infinity Train, Star vs The Forces of Evil and so many others are so popular but the studios just decided to stop making them. Was talking with a friend and her kid loves these shows but they’ve run out of episodes.

As a lapsed catholic, this genuinely moved me. I have a lot of problems with the church - my parish made their sermons an anti-abortion bully pulpit - but this is extremely meaningful at a time when governments are taking away our rights.

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

In much better news: after our fury, HHS says “We are now working to fully restore funding to” the Women's Health Initiative. Sharing the gift article. Reminding us all that we're in 'announcements about announcements' territory, but let's keep close eye on this. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/h...

I'd say more precisely that we have people going all in on the idea that self-discipline is about having what it takes to dunk your head in a bowl of ice water every morning rather than having what it takes to treat someone different from you like a human being.

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

Also, "My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him" kinda feels like the phrasing of a man who is decidedly not one of those millions.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

And just to draw out the logic here: Trump's goal is to stoke an environment of such enormous fear that immigrants leave the U.S, to avoid the risk of being trapped in a hellish prison camp for life, and the threat that similar tactics will be deployed on U.S. citizens keeps the rest of us in line

A reminder to all those involved in illegal renditions to El Salvador. Anyone involve in these kidnappings may find themselves in legal disputes and compensation. Airlines, pilots and guards are complicit. None may use the defense, I was only following orders. theconversation.com/railways-wer...

Autistic people who can't work have lives worth living. Autistic people who need 24/7 care have lives worth living. Autistic people who use behavior supports have lives worth living. Autism is not "good" or "bad," it is a natural and neutral part of humanity.

I won't speak for others but I want candidates who won't just win the next election but aggressively, unapologetically destroy trumpism and rebuild everything he's broken. If you're too afraid of a 51-49 poll to even talk about an issue I have no faith that will be you

🧵Well-intentioned ppl often warn that “it” could happen here—state-mandated violent disruption & dislocation of communities, cultures, & families, particularly concentration camps & deportations. US schools mostly don’t teach & US culture mostly doesn’t acknowledge that it already has, many times.
