What a sad state of affairs, hating Abby is such an important piece of the game, the build up for the understanding of how everything ended up fucked up the way it did is the whole thing, violence only breeds more violence. Sad they had to do this cos people on the internet are so fucked up.

Paul Graham, founder of Y-Combinator, has criticized Palantir for being “the company building the infrastructure of the police state” and has encouraged programmers to work elsewhere. This is due to Palantir building software for ICE which recommends who to deport and tracks “self deportations.”

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left. YALL, THE TITLE!!

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

Do not let James Lindsay (or Richard Hanania) into our tent. They are not new allies, they haven't changed their ways, they are committed Nazis who see the tide turning and want to take the uniform off so they can hide among the winners.

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

Believing that America can or must be good does not require one to believe that America is or was good or that Americans are more important than anyone else in the world. I don't know who it serves to insist otherwise.

the fundamental problem with these people (not jonathan) is that they don’t seem to believe in anything. if you’re willing to sacrifice one of the foundational rights of constitutional government on the altar of “buh this might not be popular” then what won’t you sacrifice?

The biggest theater play when I was a teen was made by an all LGBTQ group and it was based on a traditional event we had yearly, so they would be there every year, with a new play on the same subject and pack the theater, so we kinda grew up looking at that and seeing it as completely normal.

Seeing that some of the never Trumper’s are further left than the entirety of the Democratic establishment is making me laugh and realize how deeply fucked up the Democratic Party is at the national level.

I really do believe that one of the most ominously anti-feminist intellectual developments over the past decade is the emergence of the fiction that motherhood, caregiving, and housekeeping are somehow separate and insulated from the exploitations of capitalism—rather than central to it.
