We live inside a dream

I can't believe they fucking missed

I just received an official email from the Department of Ed, explicitly blaming republicans for trying to block the SAVE repayment plan. Hell yeah! Did someone in the Biden admin* finally learn some basic politics? *Really this is on every Democrat in power in my lifetime, at least nationally.

(And that's context that applies to the people yelling at Bouie just as much as it applies to him, to be clear, which is why we shouldn't overdo the criticism of them)

Yes - people's reactions to skeets on here aren't coming from nowhere. Angry skeets exist in the context of all in which they live and what came before them!

This post was likely referring to the typical toxic presidential election discourse, but I think it is a good universal frame to most interactions including Today's Toxic Journalism Discourse.

A commenter on TikTok asked Imani Barbarin if there is a way to call someone stupid for not voting without being ableist. Imani: Why do you feel you need to be able to call someone stupid? If your goal is actually to get them to vote, why do you need to insult them? And do you think it will work?

And how will they define protests? Will masked journalists covering protests face penalties? Etc.

They’ve decided lab leak is their “harmless” way to demonstrate their independence and we all have to endure their tedium as a result.

"the unprecedented support from everyday New Yorkers who refuse to accept Hochul’s decision gives politicians the political backing to challenge her... Outlets have reported that the cancellation of congestion pricing has resulted in some of the highest call volumes NY politicians ever experienced"

it's not lost on me that the people trying to revive lab leak are doing it the exact moment we're staring down the barrel of another zoonotic spillover disease

Last post in a very good thread. Posting the last one, because it fixes the threading problem. Just scroll up and start from there.

Further, while the "lab leak" idea itself is not a "conspiracy theory" - and, I'm sure, the vast majority of people who believe it not "conspiracy theorists" - much of the discourse, including the article in @nytimes.com, is steeped in conspiratorial beliefs and pseudoscience. It's time to move on.

an unranked list of my favorite 50 simpsons jokes though i'm not sure what's short enough to count as a joke

What throwaway Simpsons joke lives in your head full-time? For me it’s Dr Hibbert deciding not to eat at Moe’s and instead taking the family to the Texas Cheesecake Depository
