it does bum me out how many establishment Dems are willing to move to the right by throwing whole sections of the population to the wolves but not by at all altering their stance on gun control

one of the stories Kevin Drum championed over his career was the causative link between environmental lead poisoning and other societal ills. I think it's one of the most important stories of the last 20 years and Drum was one of the main reasons people knew about it. RIP

Aw man, this is so sad. Kevin was one of the original bloggers & a true, true mensch. He modeled thoughtful, respectful engagement in a way that had a huge impression on an entire generation of writers. Feels like the end of an era -- and not in a good way.

i honestly don't know much about the specifics of what this guy said and it could not matter less. the government does not have the right to do this to him. this has to be opposed vigorously. ignore anyone who tries to loop you into a discussion of the ethics of statement this guy made. immaterial.

I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.

How cool would it be if Elon had a vision that said "your firstborn daughter will bring down your empire" and he tried to avoid having daughters and that's why he's insane now

The ADL has sacrificed every single tenet of Judaism in exchange for silencing criticism of a genocidal government. The existence of Israel has never and will never keep American Jews safe. But political deportations endanger every Jew (and every other vulnerable population) in the country.

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S. It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks. The U.S. is not a safe place to travel anymore

An agency head finally said no. And when DOGE threatened employees and security guards they said no again. “No” might’ve stopped DOGE completely.

Don’t even use the app ppl, the Patreon experience is better on web, -even if- you’re on your your phone. Moots; let’s make the community aware that they’ll support their favorite creators much better if they don’t sign up using the Apple app. And hopefully give Apple an expensive lesson about greed

Once I was reading a PC Gamer preview of Command and Conquer...3 I think, and I saw a map very similar to this and that map stuck in my brain and like...ten years later I went to my friend @opensketchbook.bsky.social and went, "Wait, it's a climate change metaphor?" and she was like "Always was"

The thing nobody wants to acknowledge, either because companies are financially incentivized not to do so or because they have a libertarian devil on their shoulder whispering "free speech!" in their ear, is the solution to the "crisis of masculinity" starts with deplatforming guys like Andrew Tate

It's also STILL not even true! As far as I can tell, trans rights matters to exactly two small groups 1) Trans people 2) weird frothing mouthed bigots that even other bigots find off-putting If trans sprots really was this huge wedge, why are the republicans not dominating way more?

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

Reminder that it's okay to cut toxic friends out of your life. If they treat your interactions as transactional, do not maintain your relationship, and have a tendency to be abusive or manipulative, and paint themselves as the reasonable one despite this, then they're probably not your friend.
