Also, surely this should be the core media narrative about this war - they’re not doing it for any reason they can articulate! There’s no intelligence supporting their claims, Trump himself seemed to think it was a bad idea a week ago, but no one’s in charge and Trump is an easily-pressured fool

You almost have to appreciate just how beautifully this illustrates the gerontocratic nature of American politics: the Ancient Umbrella is imbued with more experience simply because it existed longer.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

When Obama and Biden won, Republicans said “fuck them, we’ll break them” and went on to rally their base. When Republicans win, Democrats blame their left and say “we’ll work with Republicans.” And it fucking sucks.

If one guy holds most of the tech people rely on, it is a vulnerability, but also it's one guy: as a global population we should be able to easily just take it from him, so it seems to me the real vulnerability is an internalized belief that private ownership is more sacrosanct than human thriving.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

I don’t even think they’re smart enough to realize this is what would happen - they’re too hyper focused on immigrants to think through the implications of the laws they’re writing. But rather than back down, they will just shrug when it’s pointed out that this will disenfranchise 69 million women.

The depressing thing for me about the hot coffee case is how many people were so keen to side with the massive corporation. Even if all the mythology for true - that the plaintiff got millions just for getting a slightly-too-hot coffee - I'd still be somewhere between on her side and indifferent.
