Just heard someone say “he sounds like he spends a lot of time on Facebook” and hooo boy everyone’s immediate understanding of what that means should be a brand crisis for Meta

If Pope Benedict XVI could abolish limbo, does that mean a future pope could abolish other drunk party games

setting aside the cultural stereotypes (and criticism of them) these pieces never ask a legitimately important question, which is “okay, so, what do you want? what material changes do you want politicians to push for to improve your lives?”

"they also don't care about your way of life" is a total lie. they're obsessed with your way of life! they vote and speak in loathing of your way of life! small-town red America obsessively focuses on other ways of life

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

this is possible but another way to think of it is that if you're under 40 in China you hadn't experienced anything but growth until 2020. the appetite for eating bitterness for the sake of the nation is not that great, but the fuck you spirit at US actions is very real.

TOMORROW! I'll be reading something new and unpublished!

Be the funniest thing in the world if Trump legit just had a normal heart attack rn because everyone would 100% believe the deep state killed him for this, and half of us would like 👍

Why, to gloat?

Did we? Well, as a humble developing nation, we lack many things you Americans take for granted, like nuanced economic policy, lavishly armed citizenry and midterm elections.

Real whiplash watching the Trump message go from “we’ll fix everything on day one” to “suck it up buttercup, this is gonna hurt.”

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct." Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.
