Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

one of the things the Hungarian opposition had to do was to hollow out the corpse of Jobbik, a neo-Nazi party, fill it with opposition politicians, and use it to try to beat Orban. i really don't want to hear anyone complain about voting for Democrats

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. We need to fix this before mom comes home.

Bummer, because it's a wonderful cast. I don't love Kevin Kline any less, but...damn it's bad. A light political comedy that accepts Oliver Stone level cynicism as fact in its heart. Does @jamellebouie.net know about this movie? (DAVE, 1993?)

FUCK ON TOAST. I revisited the 90s comedy "DAVE" and holy shit is it FULL of venomously bad politics, stuff everybody was SURE OF back in the day. "There's money for everything if you just cut out the waste!" "A naive outsider will ALWAYS understand politics better!" It is purely non-partisan dreck.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

especially bothersome because I spent a long time and a lot of effort learning how not to be constantly severely depressed so when people tell me it’s not possible I’m like, no, it is possible, that is you being depressed saying that.

To many things are becoming contests of intellect and prescience rather than “What world are you trying to live in and who are you nurturing”

Donald Trump's negotiation style is threatening to set himself on fire if he doesn't get four tires on his new car, then declaring victory because he got the car for MSRP, then calling the salesperson a slur

This is a strong argument that is essentially: our job right now is to be like Death in HOGFATHER, keeping enough belief going to make sure the sun comes up the next day. I’m here for it. HO HO HO.

trump is unique in that his depravity creates the very cynicism he feeds on. it is necessary to uphold the idea that we are capable of better even if that belief is counterfactual. which is why we need to tell the bureaucracy that their work is valued and that they are holding the line for us.

Stealing from Stevie Wonder is one thing-we all do it a little! But stealing second-hand Stevie knockoffs from Jamiroquai? GO HOME.
