I used to be on twitter, just like you. I used to change my name a lot on that site, usually some kind of pun, like this one

Apparently if you are a disabled Palestinian mauled to death by an IDF canine unit the BBC will call it a "lonely death" instead of saying the truth, which is that you were murdered.

I’ll never forget my nyt-reading dad being horrified by someone sen. vance said, “but the book was so good.” When I asked him whether that made him reconsider his opinion of the book, he started lecturing me on separating “the art from the artist”.

Every white liberal and white moderate who hyped up Hillbilly Elegy should feel shit.

"A third classmate...said that Crooks was very smart, took honors classes, and was shy. She said that he had a group of friends who were fairly conservative, some of whom would wear Trump hats." nothing so far differentiates this from a garden variety school shooting www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/u...

What we know about the Trump rally gunman so far | CNNwww.cnn.com Interviews with a half-dozen former classmates and neighbors of Thomas Crooks painted him as quiet and aloof, with some remembering him as a misfit in high school.

When I share climate change news, the conclusion I hope people draw from it - the one I draw, anyway - is that the existing social order, where political and economic decisions are made by a small cadre of investors and legislators unaccountable to the working class, can't continue.

Income-based U.S. household carbon footprints (1990–2019) offer new insights on emissions inequality and climate financejournals.plos.org Current policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increase adaptation and mitigation funding are insufficient to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C.

You do have to wonder what Cheney’s problem with Trump actually is. Too invested in the illusion that he’s in control, unlike W, I assume.

I think we can officially retire the heartbreaking meme now

It's a bit problematic how Biden has (a) narrow, limited power to have his agency draw up a student loan forgiveness process consistent with the statutes passed by Congress; but (b) complete immunity to tell everyone at Dept of Edu, "mark those loans as $0 or I'll put you in a pine box."

to put a sharper point on this, the President’s power to pass an executive order regulating emissions is severely hampered. his power to use the DOJ or the military to regulate emissions is nearly unlimited

The thing that's telling and exasperating about the centrist "Biden must drop out" calls is that... this was their guy! They act like the left insisted on him! But Biden was the guy they were saying Democrats should instead rally around when it looked like we might pick Bernie!

Fun Fact: the minimum clearance required by law for interstate highway overpasses was determined by the height of ICBM transport vehicles like this one, seen here squeezing an (unarmed) Atlas ICBM under an overpass in Benson, Arizona, en route to the Atlantic Missile Range, on December 1, 1956.

Something I think about a lot lately is how much Nazi support there actually was in the US and if things had gone slightly differently we would not have been calling ourselves the good guys of WWII

Every gerontocratic politician from Ruth Bader Ginsburg on has defended their narcissistic clinging to power in very late life as a triumph of old people who won't be sidelined any more, and liberals present this as a great identity politics event for old people rather than the betrayal that it is.
