In my years of covering internet culture I’ve always tried to impress upon people that social media algorithms + audiences actively incentivize and reward behavior and people that are almost comically evil and stupid. Anyways now that culture is running the country

Putting RFK Jr in as health secretary is like putting someone in charge of department of energy that advocates for perpetual motion machines

🧵 It’s not clear whether the OMB pause memo is meant to apply to Medicaid payments going out; the memo specifically says it does not include Medicare, but it’s silent on Medicaid. I’m on the hill tmrw for Medicaid meetings, obv this is now a top concern.

Really think Trump’s deal with Greenland is that he knows climate change is real and unstoppable (thanks to his ilk!) and all that snow covered land will eventually become highly sought real estate

really wonder what MAGA expects out of the next 4 years. We already had him once and that term was notably unremarkable in achievement or anything that defines a good presidency. His 1st signature campaign promise barely got any traction! He’s already backtracking the new ones

Very funny how there exists a whole cottage industry focused on emulating the quotidian lifestyle habits of billionaires as if to uncover some hitherto unknown path for success while the richest guy ever logs impossible gaming hours and shares godawful shitposts online 24/7

Wicked was great but I thought the exterior shots of Shiz, which looked very much like a Mediterranean resort, were kind of out of place in an American fable

“Would you kill baby Hitler” isn’t a terribly illuminating philosophical question. “Would you kill baby Hitler then serve the rest of your life in prison, widely scorned, for infanticide” has way more sauce

The key to ousting Adams is committing to running together and asking all supporters not to rank Adams on their ballots. Running an RCV race between people who are ideologically aligned means working together and building coalitions through all five slots on the ballot.

Please vet your blocklist creators before you implement a mute-list or blocklist. MAGA, foreign troll farms and other bad actors are working day and night to silence our voices.

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

Can we recognize that the congressional dems left Sarah McBride out to dry by not sticking up for her when she was put in an impossible situation?

Among the saddest things about this is that last time it happened—and it did happen, almost immediately—Trump deported a bunch of adoptees whose parents thought adoption gave them citizenship. It didn’t.
