being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

This bit is sort of fascinating in how it’s the diametric opposite of correct Noah must sustain the belief that Musk is a genius despite the heaps of evidence before our eyes because Noah’s psyche will never admit to being such a glaring mark

yep. the strangest thing is that he doesn't even have to moderate himself: he just needs to focus on anti-Trumpism over Tory policy (that's what Dougie did!) but the Federal Tories have too many people in love with Trump for him to do that

it's going to be really fucking stupid if Pierre doesn't realize that people don't want the culture war nonsense here but they want an economic and strategic alternative but given that the Tory party staffers have been captured by Yank brain i don't hold out hope

Between this and his comments to the governor of Maine it looks clear that he is using unconstitutional coercion/extortion to compel policy outcomes at the state level that his office doesn’t give him the authority to dictate.

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

It is malpractice not to headline this along the lines of "trump fires all senior women and racial minorities in top ranks of the pentagon." Who trump fired is part of his whole program of returning control of this country to exclusively straight, cis, white men

This is a great way of putting it because by the standards of presidential success that Biden himself understood (from the 1970's-90's, predominantly), he was a tremendously productive and successful president. The problem is that those metrics for success completely missed the moment.

The Republican Party has been the motivating force behind most visceral patriotism in my life, because their efforts to destroy the cosmopolitan liberal democracy in which I was born have made me realize that I am in fact quite attached to it, and willing to countenance a lot in it’s defense.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...

If you de-zoot the toots here, he’s saying he spent $44b on twitter as part of his right wing political project—which is both obvious and something you can’t say in the newspaper.

They’re going prosecute AOC and when they do, I don’t wane to hear a damn negative word about her on here whether you think she’s too far to the center or too far left. Normal politics are now cancelled until further notice.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

You can be allowed, in certain circumstances with good enough reasons, to be a pseudonymous litigant. This is DOJ acting as though the head of a government agency being sued in their official capacity can be an anonymous litigant, unknown not just to the opposing party but the court. Insanity.

This is the now third deportation “detention” site outside the U.S. that the administration has disclosed. These are more than concentration camps; they’re what’s called “zones of lawlessness.” People being held in isolated facilities. Some if not all are de facto stateless.

For obvious reasons, the lesson—the internet wisdom—behind ‘don’t feed the trolls’ is applicable to random comment board participants but not the president of the United States. The president and his White House staff spending time fantasizing about a monarchy is not wise to ignore.
