This would be really bad at the best of times. On the cusp of a major spike in costs brought about by increases in oil prices its downright chilling.
Before, after
Thanks Joseph

Very excited to read this when it comes out
Postmodern conservatism is very real
There's something almost wholesome about those numbers. A throwback to a time when people genuinely thought government worked for citizens in good faith...

They cant finish a sentence without it self-contradicting anymore...
On March 23rd @benburgis.bsky.social and I will be presenting on our forthcoming G.A Cohen volume at York University in Toronto. We'll be joined by Dr. Christine Sypnowich and Dr. Lesley Jacobs.

This beyond hot dog man.jpeg.
This is building a whole alternative epistemological system, operating by fundamentally truth-impervious rules, geared solely to fabulism & upward cycles of radicalization. This is powering that system with grift & dollars, animating it with the spirit of capitalism.
There was a moment near the end of WWII when a "moderate" wing of the SS emerged which sought a return to the rule of law & to a world where money & connections were again paramount. They obviously failed—bc *there was no going back* from the world they'd made; there was only consequences

There's something cute about Matt Walsh realizing in real time that his friends will just say and believe anything
Excellent new piece in the @nytimes.com on how inequality happened in a small Wyoming town with obvious lessons more broadly for the republic.
Pete Hegseth's crazed rants at reporters reveal that Trump's rationales for attacking Iran are incoherent, confused, and based on lies. Dems don't have to take refuge in criticizing Trump's war on purely procedural grounds. They can go much harder. 1/

Hello new followers! I’m so excited to be working on this new project from the Institute for Humane Studies at GMU. Liberalism.org will be a hub for revitalizing liberal theory and practice—and for showing how a better society is possible.
Lol he loves reading Machiavelli. Refers to him as "Old Nick" a few times.
Interesting to see Mansfield recognize, along with most other probing right wing philosophers, the deep connections between Marxism and liberalism
Matt McManus @MattPolProf · 4h I smoked a cigarette yesterday and didnt get cancer today. The idea that smoking causes cancer is bullshit. Turns out you can smoke round the clock and you'll be fine. Quote Richard Hanania @RichardHanania · Feb 28 Has any theory in international relations been more discredited than blowback? It turns out you can just kill bad people and everything is fine.
The worst people are making the stupidest possible international relations argument. (Hanania, not the person QTing them)
At @liberalcurrents.com we know the USSR was evil, NK's regime still is, and Mao and Pol Pot were mass murderers. But we also know that socialism is a legitimate intellectual tradition, and that Marx did not support basically anything bad and everything a liberal reformer would've wanted in his day
This has to be one of the most weaksauce responses to any book Ive read; the rhetorical equivalent of the "I swear im not crying" meme. @lkatfield.bsky.social
