I hope every Senator that voted to confirm this guy rots in Hell. This is disgraceful.

It’s crazy that something as simple as free school lunches is even a conversation. We are not agreeing on even the most fundamental basic things like Headstart, preschool, food for children, and free insulin. That’s what I want my tax money to go. Actual freedoms

It’s remarkable how much 9/11 bifurcated the tech world (along with so much else). Many who saw the crypto wars of the 90s warned this was where we were headed, while so many went in the other direction…full steam ahead toward pervasive surveillance. Just disguised with friendly Web 2.0 interfaces.

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

💯 This is exactly it. “Diversity of thought” is only ever used to defend racist and/or sexist speech.

I don’t think he wants toasters. He wants to make people desperate to mine materials and assemble parts for Tesla and SpaceX. He wants indentured servants and he’s abusing the system to get them.

guarantee they're going after foreign students because they're a fucking easy quota point, just like going after immigrants who have been keeping all their appointments with the government 'we're deporting criminals' was always a fucking lie

This is right. The fact that they’re doing this to “innocent people” is not irrelevant, but it’s ultimately not the point. People convicted of crimes have rights too. And you can be damn sure that if they want to convict them - or me, or you - of something, they will.

Since 2000, I’ve heard claim after claim (such as 100,000+ uncounted 2004 Kerry votes) from both sides of the aisle, though nothing comes close to the Big Lie in 2020. End of the day: there is insufficient evidence to support any of these claimed events changed outcomes. Blaze’s work is invaluable.

Wow! Our Secretary of Education believes A1 is so important that it needs to be part of the curriculum. 🤯

I know I’m naive but I’m not going to stop being shocked at just how many people in this country are apparently frothing-at-the-mouth ready to unleash their inner Gestapo

Why is it that whenever I see “BREAKING: SCOTUS” at the start of a post, I shudder before trying to read the rest?

Plaintiffs: Help, it’s an emergency. The Government threw us in a foreign torture prison without due process SCOTUS: We agree there’s an emergency. You filed in the wrong court. It’s like calling 911 with an emergency and the operator says you called the wrong number and hangs up

I interrupt this doomscrolling to remind you that holding a 4-hour-old baby on your chest is magical and cures just about any negative feelings you have about the world.

Generally speaking, you can tell how much someone knows about GamerGate by how much they were surprised by either of Trump’s election wins. The more one knew about GG at the time, the more Trump’s rise seemed not only possible, but somewhere in the likely to inevitable range.

From a private email: «A colleague told me about a friend who works for a housing agency. They were recently targeted and told they engage in too much DEI. Their crime? They issue home equity lines of credit.» Yep, the word "equity" appears on their website many times.

💯 And the next post is the real kicker. My experience on the left isn’t denial of IQ, heritability, sex differences, etc. It’s recognition that people who want to talk about biological essentialism are motivated to exaggerate their claims to justify preexisting discrimination. (Or worse.)
