i think "an effective altruist is personally denying twenty million people their HIV medications despite a court order telling him to send the money" is a pretty good summary of effective altruism as a real world philosophy

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

It is unclear to me how Lu*on thinks the economy works. You can't get milk from a cow you're starving. And if you starve it to death, there's not even a lot of meat for your vulture friends to "capitalize" on.

"He has 4 billion dollars, he's not going to steal your money" is an argument someone either makes in complete bad faith or in total ignorance of how the rich have conducted themselves throughout the entirety of modern civilization.

I still get asked sometimes "aren't you concerned about disinformation from the far-left?" The answer is always, yes, I am, there's just comparatively much less of it https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/11/far-right-mps-fake-news-misinformation-left-study

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

I let go of my copy of "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" today For a long time I saw that book reflect the difficult childhood I navigated but what Gman actually captured was the story of the person who broke my family & gave me that childhood A victim who became the abuser

I probably don't even need to say this, BUT. Me not posting about every nightmarish thing is not because I am not internally (or externally!) screaming multiple times per day, i just figure you heard about it from 100 other people posting about each new nightmare. I assure you, my soul is cracking.

Someone decided that ten minutes is how long public toilets in Auckland parks will stay locked and, having married a man, I can say with great confidence the person who thought "ten minutes is long enough to take a shit" was a woman.

In a human sacrifice to deity there might be at least a mistaken and terrible beauty; in the rites of the moneychangers, where greed, laziness, and envy were assumed to move all men's acts, even the terrible became banal.

remember, the blitzkrieg is intended to make you feel like there is nothing you can do about it; that’s the only reason to go forward in this haphazard and sloppy manner all in the first week and the choice of that strategy tells you they are afraid you will do something about it

The most valuable thing we have is our time. The second is our labor. It's not a surprise our economic system denies us the autonomy of using either for our own communities.

I think it’s very important for Republican women to know that Pete Hegseth’s accuser is a married mom and a highly respected Republican aide, who went to the police immediately after the assault. They still don’t believe her. Your fascism will not save you from their misogyny.
