Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who killed so many children in Samoa they ran out of child-sized coffins, has been confirmed to lead Health and Human Services. The vote was 52-48. All Dems and Mitch McConnell, whose fault this is, voted no. All other Republicans voted yes. The blood will be on their hands.

A month into congestion pricing and my bus commute into NYC is consistently 15-20 min faster each way, no matter what time of day I travel. It has given me 40 minutes of my life back. I work in midtown and crossing the street is no longer gridlock.

Is American quiet quitting democracy?

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

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

At. Gunpoint. Musk is telling duly appointed and security cleared government officials that they will be shot if they don't turn over to Musk sensitive information to which he has no right. In any other country, we'd call it a coup.

Also: this is Matthew’s actual job. If they say there’s a fighting chance to torpedo this nomination, that’s much more reliable than whatever the vibes out here might be. This is worth your time.

This is a great reminder from day one of how they work; three or four times a day, every day, they will do something and then insist they didn’t do it and force everyone to burn out arguing that it is what it is. The sole purpose is to exhaust you and it will absolutely work if you let it.

If there's anything I hope young creatives take from David Lynch, it's to reject the modern IP-driven impulse to explicitly explain and cleanly categorize the logic behind every single event and decision inside and outside of a story at least some of the time.

It isn't about finding 'replacements' for Gaiman and other creatives that get exposed for their monstrous bullshit. It's about pulling away from idolatry. If work resonates with you, that's fine. It does not connect you to the creative in a way that demands blind fealty.

My mechanical engineer coworker had a fresh complaint about Musk every single day for the year I knew him. Not once did the complaints touch on politics - it was 100% about how he has no discernable aptitude or skills for engineering.

When you try to take away a monster's talent after finding out he's a monster, you are tacitly making a claim that enough talent can excuse monstrous behavior.

Being a “conservative intellectual” must rule so much. There’s this giant mass of babies that are scared of cities, mad at cartoons, and intimidated by women, and your job is to convince them having those feelings makes them brave warriors for western civilization

400,000 more people rode the NYC subways in a single day and it was barely noticeable. the equivalent population of Tampa piled into transit and it was a blip. almost like transit is a more efficient mode of conveyance than automobiles

If you're clever enough, you can find how literally any public policy change is detrimental to at least a single person. The problem is that current policies are also detrimental to some people. You have not defeated an idea by naming a single downside. Perfect ideas don't exist.

fascinated by a rhetorical strategy i see all the time now, which is making up an extreme edge case to argue against doing anything for the public good, and doing this from the putative left.
