One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

THIS. Also, to just be horrified at the idea of the “Department of Homeland Security”. I literally said the word “Nazis” at the time. People born this century, there didn’t used to be a Department of Homeland Security.

As I’ve gotten older, one of the things that’s become painfully obvious to me is that men are just as emotional as women, but seem to have a greatly reduced capacity for actually regulating it. And their emotions often only come in one flavor: anger. It’s not biological. It’s culturally ingrained.

Honestly, cancelling Space X contracts feels like a net win. The shuttles keep blowing up, an issue we solved in the 60s with NASA. And Starlink is blighting the night sky and ruining the commons. Fuck it!

If I never see another fucking Kanye West tweet again it will be too soon. Stop taking screenshots and posting that stuff here. If I wanted to see Nazi content, I'd join Twitter again.

i really can't impress enough on young people that if you commit to not using AI you will be blessed by the promethean fire of knowledge and everyone around you will think you are a god for being able to do shit on your own and use your brain to have critical thoughts like a functional human being

It is truly surreal knowing the research on COVID-19 and being in a doctors waiting room filled with high-risk and elderly patients and seeing no one else masked. And hearing multiple people coughing. It is shameful how little public education there is on COVID-19’s ongoing risks.

As an anthropology professor said to me "your brain spent millions of years evolving to be perfectly adapted to a way of life that hasn't existed for 10,000 years. You're bound to feel a little fucked up every now and then."

Your regular reminder that the hosts of children's programs nearly always have more moral character and bravery than anyone elected to congress. Mr. Rogers. Ms. Rachel. Lavar Burton. GOAT Tier humans. Schumer and the rest of those fucks? Spineless bootlickers.

Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."
