@mapquest.com has yet to yield to the "Gulf of America" nonsense and is instead empowering the people to name it whatever.

It's actually a poem about the inadequacy of compassion alone as a response.

It’s telling that the endlessly pedantic Williams, (who writes like he’s being paid by the syllable,) doesn’t have a $5 word for that particular concept.

This is exactly what Trump did to the Afghan government in 2020.

Having found “The Divider” to be a thorough, damning expose of the first Trump admin, I’m stunned that you’re capable of writing stupid bullshit like the attached post. I guess Susan wrote all the critical parts?

Delegitimization of the concept of expertise, combined with real, genuine stupidity and shortsightedness.

First, the activist ‘overreach’ mostly consisted of low-stakes, cherry-picked anecdotes. The police were not defunded. Words were not banned. White men were not barred from college.
The backlash is responding to the *possibility* of social change, not actual change.

No. “Ethnic cleansing” was popularized because it allowed western governments to avoid labeling what was happening in Bosnia as genocide, with the moral and legal obligations that recognition would entail.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that he doesn’t.

Not to be contrarian or cynical, but don’t most GOP policy preferences favor wealthy suburbs and exurbs over rural areas? I’ve always thought this policy was intended to benefit wealthy quiverfull megachurch attendees in places like Waukesha or Bucks County over actual rural voters.

I said this a billion times at the other place. The problem with Catholic converts is that they have all the sanctimony and none of the guilt.

Thank you! This is a *wild* misuse of Bayesian reasoning.

That was always my understanding: deodorant and mouthwash had to create their own markets, because they were solutions to problems that people hadn’t previously understood to be problems, or at least addressable problems.

Wurman got called out for saying that there's an "entire literature" showing that children of immigrants don't get birthright citizenship. There isn't. So now he's trying to create one—by starting with a conclusion and backfilling the historical evidence using methods any real historian would scorn.

They seem to think that by going back to only white men having positions of power we can heal our divisions. But that’s just an admission that the core division at the heart of it all was white men resenting no longer exclusively having positions of power.

Even where the MPRC mentions zealous advocacy, (in the comments,) it makes clear that reasonable diligence doesn’t support the idea that you have to make any argument your client wants you to make.

Worth pointing out that the MPRC, adopted by every state (Florida in 1986), replaced the duty of zealous advocacy with the duty of reasonable diligence.

For some values of "failed". Like most of his failed businesses, it has basically gifted him free money from the wallets of suckers.

Just curious, since the only legal existence DOGE has is as the renamed (per EO) US Digital Service, would you have referred to low level USDS employees as "officials" under previous admins? There's no need to play along with the self-aggrandizing fantasies of playacting authoritarian stooges.

It should be obvious, but let's be clear: if a new president can arbitrarily nullify existing federal contracts, they aren't real "contracts" at all and they aren't worth the paper they're printed on. 🧵
