Imagine if projector salespeople told you projectors were great in the classroom not because they let everybody see an image better but rather because now every course could be about projectors, because projectors are the future and the time to opt out of talking about projectors all day has passed.

This is something that really unites both liberals and leftists here because while we all have concerns about who, exactly, should be let in the tent, I don't think anyone thinks the Silicon Valley eugenics types belong.

The funny thing about One Billion Americans is that by its own admission the book's policy recommendations would rapidly eliminate the white majority, but its author likes to buddy around with people who would consider that the end of the country

The great irony here is that Trump II has basically proved wokeism correct (e.g. “making off-color racist jokes is a dogwhistle to bring racism to power.”). It just seems quaint now bc the racists were so successful they don’t dog whistle anymore

This is what I mean when I say transphobes don't oppose "males" in "women's spaces"--they oppose trans women specifically and hope that disgust of us will help police how all women look and behave

It’s pretty funny that (a) this complaint about “bringing politics into” the previously cloistered and Olympian groves of academe — always framed as a very recent development — has been made in op eds continuously for over 50 years…

Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

"It is often the privileged, the safest people on earth, who are least capable of courage. They fear, as Brecht put it, that 'to displease the possessors means to become one of the dispossessed'...Solidarity is always a risk, but the alternative is suffering alone."

The antagonizing of allies, tariffs on foreign products, and ending immigration make sense when you realize that Trump is an abuser isolating us from the rest of the world. Abusers typically isolate their victims from friends, family, and the outside world. It's this on a societal scale.

This seems to be the correct answer. The dads idolize men like Trump and the sons follow their dads. We are looking for a “crisis” among young men but i think its actually middle aged men who have gone insane because many of us never really grew up bsky.app/profile/maxk...

Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

Not to take away from this point about masculinity as a product of historical conditions, but I think this speaks to an anxiety at the heart of male supremacy & white supremacy, both: the dominating, supremacist position is always anxious because it has to be continually maintained and proved.

Like this framing a lot! I think we are doing for young men what we did for rural voters. "They have material concerns, how could they not be pieces of shit" is stupid, and also works for every possible negative idea

Ironically, this is Big Pharma's wet dream. Rather than a preventative vaccine that costs a few dollars a dose twice a lifetime, they can sell expensive new in-patent drugs for hundreds a dose that you need to keep taking.

"By creating approved versions of Jews and women, the regime can play at being sympathetic to liberal values in a way that will confuse and divide at least some of the people who would otherwise oppose them...Sometimes, they’re even enthusiastic about Trump empowering them to say 'good riddance.'"
