The only time I met Noah Smith in person (~2015) he introduced himself as “Noah, everyone follows me on Twitter” and then proceeded to drop multiple n-words singing along to rap during karaoke. Just a really terrible guy.

To put my German Studies cap on, I think part of Germany's crisis is that the nation is change resistant. They prefer predictability over upheaval for obvious reasons. They are on a whole extremely anxious people who cherish order. When crisis hits, that requires real change, they freeze.

I need way more leftists online to ask themselves what their values are and what they think gaining power looks like. My values aren't pricing seniors out of healthcare and I don't see how power gets built by telling working people to eat shit.

White leftists love saying things like this. There's never any true liberation, it's just shifting who gets power in an endless "us vs them" battle. That's not a future I'm fighting for. It's not a future I've seen decolonial Latine and Black femme scholars argue for either.

This is interesting because the question is less what they will do as legislators and more what they will do as politicians. AOC is a member of the House minority, but she’s doing a lot of politics about all of this anyway.

A key observation about nearly every one of the arguments against birthright citizenship; that all of them simply ignore the actual text of the Constitution in favor of a version that exists purely in their own heads.

No, the research ability of generations of scholars is insane. DeepSeek is just a regurgitator of stolen work. We have to accept the basis of these AI models is plagiarism. They're in court arguing they have a right to make money off plagiarism.

While I'm at it and it's early, I'll also say that FAFO discourse doesn't feel good to me at all. I think that the people who will find out the most are the same people who are always finding out: the most marginalized. I also think that it destroys potential solidarity and solidarity is needed now.

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.
