It’s pretty telling that all the folks funded by billionaires to speak out against cancel culture and allowing all points of view on campus have gradually but consistently picked a time to go “surprise it was Nazi stuff all along!”

so many things about the US government that are now treated as Inviolable Precedent are based on things like "this is a number I just pulled out of my ass" and have been modified repeatedly over time until one day people decided changing the number was too hard it doesn't have to stay that way!

Goddammit, people should not be fucking DYING from HEAT in a place that they cannot leave or where they cannot control their environment. Air conditioning in California's Central Valley should be BASIC, like food, water, and shelter. I'm not sure how this doesn't constitute at least manslaughter.

The head of Starz lost his job as head of HBO after strangling his girlfriend in the valet lot of the MGM Grand. The lack of career consequences for dudes who do this shit, unambiguously and flagrantly, is well-established, and I think the MeToo era really scared a lot of extremely powerful people.

Lauren Boebert is a high school dropout.

I don't say this to shame people who don't finish their education. But it helps underscore how all the chitter chatter about "DEI" has nothing to do with merit.

It's just a racial slur.

The official 2024 GOP platform makes a reference to "Christian-hating Communists" who the Republicans will keep from entering the country. Back in the early days of the America First movement, "Christian-hating Communists" would have just been a longer way of saying "Jews."

So a thing about AI is that, not understanding the material itself, it cannot understand what the gap is in someone else’s understanding. Students already have access to materials that will repeat important points over and over. They don’t need more.

Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

By Roberts logic, Trump's insane rant to the Boy Scouts about partying and fucking super models is absolutely within the "outer perimeter" of the president's official duties. What the fuck isn't part of the president's official duties at this point?

Relatedly, we're going all the way back to 1776 on this one. The conflict is literally whether we're going to be ruled by a king now.
