The plan for the war he was totally going to end months ago is still to weaken Ukraine and tell them to give Putin what he wants, weaken Europe and undermine the NATO alliance, make no concrete demands of Russia but vaguely beg them to stop, and push stupid lies about the war to paper over all that

With the world turning sour on the US, the best thing for China if it wants to prosper is to promote reliable, lasting partnerships with everyone else. Aggressive actions towards Taiwan only jeopardize that

Remember how Steve Jobs used to drive without plates and just routinely pay the fine? Or Jeff Bezos just writes a check regularly for having hedges around his house that far exceed the legal height limit? I think that’s how Musk views electioneering laws.

So DOGE are going to take a system they don’t understand because they have no expertise in COBOL and replace it with another system they won’t understand because they’re going vibe code it

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

UN Resolution 2758 is routinely trotted out by tankies & little pinks alike as definitive proof Taiwan is legally part of the PRC. I can only assume they hope no one actually reads it since it makes no mention of Taiwan or its sovereignty, nor does it even mention the ROC

They have a particular dislike of foreign journalists because they are not cowed by the MAGA cult, won't handle Trump with kid gloves and are otherwise less inclined to normalize and both sides all their bullshit

This is “conspiracy without the theory.” A laundry list of grievances. Random accusations and passive voice: “somehow gets sucked into this group”. Two seconds of thinking makes it obvious this bullshit - how would Goldberg even know about the group? - and yet they think they can sell it.

The daily coverage of Trump sitting at his handsome desk and just saying things never really goes deep into how dumb so many of those things are, because God forbid anyone lose access to tomorrow's dumb things.

Trump didn’t pick feckless clowns only to fire them at their first big show of incompetence and criminality. But as long as they remain the pressure can be heaped on, if the media and opposition do their job

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

The type of voluntary censorship and obeyance that celebrities and companies engage in to avoid the wrath of Beijing. It’s viewed as more risky to your business or brand to anger Beijing than the Taiwanese because as a liberal democracy Taiwan wouldn't retaliate in the same manner

Watching the Sam Seder videos and I suspect it's mostly a wasted effort trying to get through to the already lost. They'll only get it if and when it affects them personally. Since their teens they've been targeted and groomed in an information ecosystem poisoned by right wing influencers
