As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Donald Trump backed down from his disastrous trade war with Canada and Mexico after universal condemnation. Elon Musk illegally destroyed the government agency USAID over the weekend and had his Tesla engineers illegally steal the private data and information of every American citizen.

The richest man in the world is having his Tesla engineers steal every American’s social security number, birthday, home address, and bank account information. We’re in serious trouble…

Example # 2748 why good teams like KC stay good in the smallest of ways: They had a hurry up play with optionality ready to execute when that reception was iffy. It’s taken for granted the team awareness it takes to pull the trigger to beat a challenge. And not just a vanilla run play.

The Pokrovsk direction, once known as the Avdiivka direction, remains one of the most active and difficult areas. After failing to seize the town directly, as in Novohrodivka, Russian forces pushed towards south of the town, creating an increasingly dangerous situation.🧵Thread

The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.

Harassment, racism, and engagement farming are not “a difference of opinion.” Had a chance to talk about BlueSky on Pablo’s pod—and why the echo chamber argument mischaracterizes what’s actually going on. 📺: youtu.be/DFBlec2Exrw?...

But this is what authoritarians want. They wear us down. They thrive on despair and disillusionment. So, we need to remind ourselves what matters. And what is worth fighting for, even if everything seems futile and nothing matters. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

An academic study found that on July 13, 2024 — the day Musk endorsed Trump — there was a systemic change across Twitter resulting in massive increases in reach for Musk and other accounts supporting Trump. This should be a scandal.

Important reminder from Solzhenitsyn & Sykes “One word of truth outweighs the world.” A word of truth can sustain others by encouraging them, by reminding them that they’re not alone and that honor is always better than dishonor.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

"While pundits have busied themselves over the past 10 days nitpicking Kamala Harris’s campaign, one thing is abundantly clear: She was held to the highest standards of leadership while Trump was held to no standard at all."

The horror that Russia is inflicting upon the farmers of Kherson is going unreported. Let me tell you a few things. The road between Stanislav and Oleksandrivka is heavily mined by Russian drones. They drop mines from things like mavics to cover the roads and the areas around the roads

New story. The Chiefs are relishing another trip to Buffalo for another chapter in their rivalry against the Bills. “That’s what you live for.” On the Chiefs understanding they will enter Highmark Stadium as worthy villains. www.nytimes.com/athletic/592...

By popular demand, here is my original translated clip from 2022, where Tulsi Gabbard was perturbed about alleged US attempts to overthrow Putin. State TV host Vladimir Solovyov described Tulsi as their "girlfriend" and agreed that she is Putin's agent. youtu.be/N2_eL8t8D9Y

#Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt said it best earlier: "You know, at this point in the season, I don't think really anybody's feeling great or at their best." KC-BUF's first injury reports have a combined 28 players dealing with some sort of ailment.
