I'm old enough to remember when teen pregnancies and dropping out of school was seen as evidence of cultural decay in the inner cities. I wonder what might be different about this? 🤔

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Bluesky is full of agitated people giving advice that will get you killed or might, MIGHT, result in your acquittal after the complete destruction of your life. Real life ain’t a flame war, kids.

The whole "games are actually shockingly cheap to purchase given what goes into them" discourse has already occurred so... I'll crib off Pwn and note that almost every single issue in a game is one that QA predicted (maybe even identified) and some other department intentionally dismissed.

Speaking as the father of a 3 year old and 1 year old, it must have been unspeakably horrific to live in a world of such high infant mortality, and it makes me burn with rage to see so many people lobby for a return to it

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

Trump has been negative on immigration twice; after the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, and after the Stephen Miller quotas went into place and sparked unrest. This is a sign people should be leaning into his outrages to highlight how terrible they are, not running away from the issue.

It is extremely important to treat moral outrages as though they are morally outrageous. If you want a society where this sort of grotesque behavior, then you need to act like it is already is.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

This is what people mean when they say you can’t buy class. I’d rather be a homeless bum than be caught dead with something so gauche.

I was involved with police training in the late 90s and cops were taught that dangerous shots made with these types of rounds could still constitute lethal force and to be careful. They know. It's not whoopsies. They've been taught a nuanced continuum for use of force and they're ignoring it.
