I once said to a top exec how scripts weren't done and that leads to a lot of last minute changes which balloons the budget. "No, that's not it, it's because we have to pay for all this overhead" and went on about how they have to pay for offices? Please, @jamesgunn.bsky.social, kill this culture.

Wow, NYTimes be like, “Andrew Cuomo is our problematic fave." The editorial board willfully misunderstands something I figured out in early adulthood: that sexual harassment tells you everything about someone’s relationship with power, and on its own, ought to be enough to disqualify from office.

The idea that tyranny can only be met by calm reasoned discourse over a snifter of brandy in a room with swells should have gone out the window in the 1950's but these chuckleheads at the Times are still on it.

maybe we're just jealous that we're no longer the only things haunted by language.

“Your solution to this problem has Externalities and is Bad and pales in comparison to my solution which is to endlessly point out the Bad Things that can happen while also inconveniently allowing the original problem to continue”

remember that time a woman reporter in Ohio reported on a 12 year old needing to flee the state to get an abortion and the entire prestige media reaction was to call the reporter a liar and too stupid to get a job at a real newspaper

No one wants to be Buckley arguing in favor of Jim Crow but they definitely want people to understand why Jim Crow is popular and you shouldn’t judge people for enacting it.

@irhottakes.bsky.social the thing about manners is that the same expectations should apply to everyone, nobody should be exempted from having to behave well

There is a fundamental right to bodily autonomy that is so ingrained in humanity that even the dead retain rights to their organs after death. Liz Bruenig can't understand this choice, believing the state is entitled to use women as incubators. It's not a moral debate. It's actually very simple.

at a personal level Dems should absolutely embrace the concepts of self-respect and grudge-holding. literally the assignment is just to react like a human rather than a politician when someone says you have a baby-eating space laser controlled by Hugo Chavez's ghost.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

If the thesis here about MAGA is correct then "respect and empathy" is exactly wrong. The article describes them as knowingly choosing destruction over a better life for everyone including themselves because they're bitter. Coddling them won't change that, it just validates their hateful choices.

this is one reason it’s really important to call your reps and senators and raise hell about the budget bill

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? We do not actually have a consistent, agreed-upon definition for what, specifically, differentiates living systems from non-living ones. For every category rule you can think of, there's seemingly an exception.

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

I remember the concerted media conspiracy in 2016 to ignore that his core substantive critiques of the Iraq War were a) that we didn't plunder the nation and b) we should have been more genocidal.

there's been two proven ways to manage the forces of reaction in a society: (1) a conservative party that so thoroughly dominates that side of the political landscape that more reactionary political formations never achieve "critical mass"; or (2) Cultural Revolution

the NY editorial board moves in circles in which 'known harasser of women' is socially acceptable but 'younger left-winger' is somebody who might embarrass you.

It takes chemical reaction boost phases before you're able to engage the ion engine. You don't get to space on the ion engine. But now you're running an ion engine. You don't just give up now in repentance.

Thousands flooded the streets of Seattle Saturday, capping a week of protests & growing tension over the Trump administration’s immigration policies & threats to send ICE to “democrat power centers.” Officials estimated 70,000+ attended, making the No Kings protest among the largest in city history.
