I don’t think we are going to like what replaces it any better.

We spent decades building the groundwork of those systems. We weren’t just showing up to the docks with a pallet of crates and a bullhorn. It would take a long time for anyone else to replicate the networks we had even if they have a ton of money to throw at it.

It's genuinely incredible how "listens to what Trump says and interprets it as a policy goal" puts you in the top 5% of Trump understanders

Not having a plan to demine Hormuz is a β€˜no winter clothes to invade Russia’ level planning error

Hate on the Trump 1 "adults in the room" all you want, but Jim Mattis apparently stopped this war from happening in 2018 by saying, as soon as Trump left the meeting where he ordered strikes, "Gentlemen. We're not doing any of that shit."

4 Democratic representatives and 1 senator voted against cutting off Trump’s war with Iran. She wasn’t one of them. She literally did take action to stop the illegal actions of the Trump administration.

It’s not the donors that you’ve got to watch, it’s the older voters. There is a tremendous generation gap on Israel. Unfortunately, the older voters are also the most reliable ones.

Money is an easy answer, but it’s incomplete at best without the limitations of public opinion.

With respect, but it was very clear that many of these broadly-written anti-abortion laws could be used to punish women who have miscarriages.

Anti-abortion advocates pushed that these laws be passed anyways. They're responsible for their advocacy and their votes.

Even Biden was unsupportive, and it is a real shame because WFH is a win-win for so many issues. As mentioned, was a HUGE benefit to me as a parent w little ones. And on a societal level, there’s the environment, accessibility, road safety and infrastructure, even ultimately urban housing crunches.

Yeah, there’s a case for a heavily targeted city to do this together as a civil disobedience thing to make ICE job’s harder, but it would have to be coordinated resistance or it’s just going to call attention to the people who can least afford it.

Unfortunately the word β€œcontemporary” is doing all the lifting there. Progressives absolutely invoke both the Pharisees and the OT negatively when arguing with conservative Christians that they’re not following Christ.

Good call.

Housing, and. We had a real missed opportunity not to go all in on fulltime WFH. Let white collar young people move back to LCoL areas, revitalize the economy and the ideas network alike, help their aging parents, and stop outbidding the workers that have to live near their job hubs.

A scrap of humility about non-tech fields would help, too. Lawyers are going to keep being mean to them for the foreseeable future because the results of LLM output in law have been absolutely dogshit and there has been zero responsible messaging about limitations on its use.

I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.

Probably, but what the term refers to is fans of Nick Fuentes and his neoNazi and incel philosophies. Fond of posting openly, aggressively bigoted trolling online together with Pepe the frog iconography.

I had a 90 minute commute for years. And that’s with most of it being ~70mph.

Yes, except he’s mad about waiting in line about it which means he’s deliberately going to the customize-your-fancy-coffee-drink specialty shop and complaining that other customers are doing that there.

If that is directed at me, I invite you to look through any of my posts and comments about him.

I think we need to be aware of the likely reality that many women are being taken into the system simply because of these agents psychosexual desire to humiliate and abuse them.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

They killed Nurul Amin Shah Alam, too. Abandoned a blind refugee who didn’t speak English in the Buffalo winter at night and left him to freeze to death without even his shoes.

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.

They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

Groundcover of tiny blue flowers and green leaves spread across the ground. An actual true blue, not the soft purple that gardeners call blue. It is a wild speedwell, a plant that grows in sidewalk cracks.

Endlessly grim to me how facile and empty these peoples' visions of the New World Order are; they're tearing up fifty years of international agreements and progress and imperfect stumbling towards the possibility of a better world and all they want out of it is to be a gangster petrostate.

One outright murder, but they caused the death of his passenger, too.

David Costello seems reasonable, and it would be nice if RCV meant people like him that no one seems to have a problem with had a chance to rise to the top.

there’s a sizable group of people that are big mad that policies like affordable college tuition and universal healthcare are attached to having to pay lip service to basic social liberal values, or who believe that if they could ditch the social values they’d win elections to get the first two

She should push for primary debates ASAP. If she does better than Biden, it’ll help lay that to rest while simultaneously giving her experience a chance to shine. We’ll see Platner out of the podcast venue, the less known candidates will get some exposure, and everyone can display their priorities.
