We talking about PRAXIS. Not a theory. Not the theory that I go out there and die for, get into every Internet argument like it’s my last. We talking about PRAXIS. How silly is that?

So many journalists going to be spending their time in leftist brasseries interviewing voters and trying to figure out how they missed this movement

Watching people who fancy themselves very smart about politics endlessly complain about having to join coalitions of people with different interests than theirs in order to have enough votes to win and therefore not getting everything they want, ie literally what politics is and how it works. Again.

heads i win, tails you lose: trump and RFK jr’s supporters both already know they believe insane conspiracies, so there’s no need to discuss what believing insane conspiracies says about their mental fitness to lead, but biden voters can be persuaded that biden may be unfit, therefore, biden old
2 of the top 3 candidates for the US presidency have shown a repeated willingness to believe any conspiracy dangled in front of them like a set of keys, including wildly anti-american ones, which are straightforward cognitive deficiencies for what we should demand in a president. neither are biden.

i mean, he means he won’t take sides on the “theory” of whether the US government did 9/11 or not, but that doesn’t make this any less insane

There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

When I was growing up, our neighbor across the street was an important figure in the creation of the Federalist Society. He was a gracious, intelligent, funny man, who did in fact drive the neighborhood kids to softball. I have friends who went to the law school where he was a prof…
When reading the piece below, about how bad the SupCt has been ( theatlantic.com/politics/arc... ) , can't help thinking of same author's ringing endorsement of Brett Kavanaugh. "A superb nominee," etc. (This is prof Akhil Reed Amar of Yale Law. ) www.nytimes.com/2018/07/09/o...

Imagine if an inexplicably wealthy 11 year old boy had just learned to draw the “cool S” and then assembled a team of engineers and told them “you have an essentially unlimited budget to make this into a car somehow.” That’s the feeling you get when you first spot a Cybertruck in the wild.

“Disagree as much as you like about the issues, but prejudice, bullying, name-calling, threats of violence and obvious lies are forbidden” are excellent ground rules for a debate in theory but what to do if prejudice, bullying, name-calling, threats of violence and obvious lies are a party platform?
Classic American political dialogue is premised on the idea that we share fundamental values but disagree on how best to promote them. I haven’t believed this for a while. Other than “I prefer to be alive and not dead” and “I like pudding,” I do not share values with these people.

I always kind of thought it would be *easier* to launch a viable competitor to Omaha Steaks than it would be to transform the US into a functional autocracy but I guess I have a lot to learn about politics and/or business

I haven’t tried the dialect map recently but I did when it came out and it had my top three results as Chicago, Rockford and Aurora, despite the fact that when I did it I had been living in MA for the last decade, so well done

One of the things referenced here is a bizarre psuedo-satirical science fiction war story of epic scope that attracts the absolute worst kind of lore nerds and the other is Warhammer 40K

All I’ve ever really wanted was to cultivate just enough of a reputation as a dispenser of enigmatic wisdom that I could say things like “You know, when you think about it, every movie is either HOWARD’S END or BLADE” and have people momentarily wonder if actually they’re the ones who are crazy

Are people on here creating discords because they need another place to say even more stuff or because they have stuff to say that’s even more bent than the shit they air out in the open? Because either possibility frankly terrifies me.
I’ve learned only one useful thing in the last week and that’s to never, under any circumstances, join a BlueSky poster’s discord

What up fam, it’s ya boi overbite and this week I’m reviewing (cranes neck) I dunno, I think it’s called the Banzai Guernica or some shit. So, what do we know about this car? It’s blue AF, for one thing. I mean, look at how blue this is. It comes with drive and reverse and park, which is braggable
I would love a car review site for people who resent having to own cars

"You don't know me" is a double-edged sword of a defense. Yes, I don't know you, which means I only have what you say to me to go off of, and if what you say to me comes off as sneering dismissiveness of the value of cultural heritage, it doesn't matter that you meant it some other way.
