Heads up that I have quit social media almost entirely. I'll probably be back for self-promotion, but not much more.

My hopes for the next few years rest entirely on these horrible men having very funny fallings out, being too incompetent to effectively do all the evil and, if we’re really lucky, simply dropping dead

I refuse to shut up about this: NYC started charging $9 to bring a car into our most transit-rich zone, the haters & trolls predicted doom, but traffic evaporated instantly and here’s Times Square tonite (even after the holiday tourists have left). For a better future, build transit & price driving!

Hi, I'm going to close the door on this stall. Or, as you might call it, virtue signaling.

Look none of this is difficult. The billionaires want us to hate each other. They're buying every newspaper and social media company to flood the space with bots and hate speech to keep us fractured and divided. And we could do that - and tear each other apart - or we could try to fix things.

Been thinking how much this reminds me of the Iraq War authorization. This bill is bad, the Dems in the House and Senate know it, but think they support it because if they go anti-immigrant, maybe voters will reward them. They absolutely fucking won't!

Obama deported 3 million people. Joe Biden deported more people in his four years than Trump did in his.

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.

Something I keep in mind regularly is that we don't all need to be fighting the same battles. There are too many fronts for that anyway. Engage those fights most meaningful to you and leave the others to other people.

“Virtue signaling” remains one of the most pernicious concepts to gain popular purchase. The whole premise of the concept leans on the idea no one actually cares about anyone aside from themselves.

Word nerd time, since I just read this done wrong in an actual published book: This is going to surprise some of you but the word “penultimate” means “next-to-last.” That is its only standard definition. Fun fact: there is also a word for “next-to-next-to-last” which is “antepenultimate.”
