I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

A lot of baffling arguments in this thread, but I think what it all comes down to is trying to litigate geopolitics via the lens of American intra-coalitional identity politics signalling. Same frame that leads to deciding that Ukraine is doing imperialism against Russia by not surrendering.

Looking forward to seeing what Gov. Spanberger can do with her trifecta. My hope is it'll push her to the left as Gov. Northam was pushed left.

Democratic politicians need to start trying to break the bigger legacy media outlets' hold on narratives and steer the masses towards the smaller, newer outlets and independent journos that are breaking DOGE news left and right

Literally have no clue how the media isn't covering this story 24/7 when its tailormade for ratings too given how TMZ'd people are with everything. This is one of the worst human beings in the country and he's co-president and the press just refuses to cover it in any meaningful way.

Setting aside whether it’s even in our interests to want a confrontation with China, this administration is doing everything it can to cripple us domestically and internationally in the lead-up to that confrontation. Doesn't make much sense!

Genuinely worse than the first thing Trump was impeached for.

We need to rebuild the Western tradition. I want our intellectuals giving speeches on gay love at theater parties, I want bisexuals running the treasury, and I want to drop the sun on fascists

Alternatively, mens liberation is for men and a natural ally of feminism against the patriarchy because the patriarchy isn't for men it's for patriarchs.

I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

This is just weird! I'm convinced the vast majority of people, no matter how they might respond to a poll, think this is utterly weird!

I wonder how many heads of the agency he’s going to get through at this rate. After all, no matter who is in charge the fundamental resource challenges remain the same.

Not great because the next person will likely be worse, but a good sign that they simply don't have the capacity to do what they want to do.

Hey @chatterton.bsky.social Rufo, among many other things, made up evidence that Haitians were eating people's pets. Now some 500,000 Haitians who were here legally are likely going to get deported. Glad he criticized you in "good faith" though. Enjoy staying on a platform run by the administration

I would argue the reduction of argument to attempts to "challenge yourself" is what really constitutes "gamification of debate". an argument isn't good because it's challenging, it's good because it's accurate.
