weird how a country organized around the principle "let's monetize every single human interaction to benefit an idle, vampiric shareholder class" is falling apart like a wet cardboard box

"There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning... that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail."

“…past predictions of global warming have proved largely correct. To persist with scepticism is immoral and stupid. Even a free-market fanatic cannot deny that environmental externalities are a form of market failure. Climate is the biggest externality of all.”

Market forces are not enough to halt climate changewww.ft.com Investor returns imply that the welfare of future human beings is close to irrelevant

one of the most dishonest things people in my profession do is pretend as if “the story” and “the narrative” isn’t something they have direct control over

The media has lost the mission: to be the neutral arbiter of facts. Instead, they have adopted a different stance: to be the neutral conveyer of both sides. When one side lies and one tells the truth, the job of the media is to let them know what is true and what is fiction.

This is legitimately ugly behavior by the media

Now everyone--The Times and, sorry to say, MSNBC--is noting every missed syllable. The man has a stutter. I don't stutter but I am a mushmouth who speaks too fast and slurs words. I've had to overcome fear of public speaking. I have empathy for Biden. The press has empathy for no one (but Trump).

The worst possible sin remains being right too early

the kind of story we need right now ⬇️

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Absolutely mind boggling the speed with which Dems decide to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on a routine basis. The lack of spine in the face of ruthless opposition combined with the hair trigger reaction to immediately turn cannibal is not a winning strategy.

Disinvestment means that I'm out here cutting down the six foot tall weeds that cause a visibility hazard on a busy street corner because the north sider who owned a gas station here in the '70s abandoned it after white flight and then his family seemingly forgot they owned the land after he died

when I was a child, I thought smart people were in charge. when I got older, I realized you didn't have to be smart to be in charge. but the piece that was hardest to learn is that no one is really in charge at all. no one's going to fix it beyond us.

i think we should see the Trump v. United States ruling as a group of Republican apparatchiks taking their opportunity to vindicate Nixon and write the unitary executive into the Constitution. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/o...

Kaitlin Has Had Enough

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them
