This is rude. You donāt know me or how I conduct myself
āCentristsā: The easiest way to win is to WANT to lose, and then guarantee it by dissatisfying everyone. Checkmate vertebrates š
Reason #1 to primary-challenge invertebrate Democrat incumbents: *Prosecuting actual law breaking* Screw this ālook forward not backwardā āwe go highā pearl-clutching milquetoastery.
It would be a huge step forward for @radiofreetom.bsky.social to stop using all words
Unfortunately itās all just in-group signaling. Whether that is vice or virtue depends on the in-group. Either way itās self reinforcing and quiesces thought, which is precisely our problem today. Moral courage is what we need, which may involve aspects of signaling, but itās not quite the same
Theyāre invertebrates, taking middle of every road - thereās no policy conviction beyond straddling their dwindling base, and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social may be the worst of them. He canāt even take a position between being quiet and talking so he does both at the same time
NOBODY KNEW IT BEFORE ME, I FIGURED IT OUT. I SAID: OHH THIS DONALD GUY, HES BAD NEWS, AND HES GOING TO DO VERY BAD THINGS TO OUR COUNTRY. THEY DIDNāT BELIEVE ME BUT IāM A STABLE GENIUS WIZARDā¦ LIKE THIS VOLDEMORT GUY. HES SO MISUNDERSTOOD!! AND I SAID ME TOO, ITS SO TRUE. HELLO NOBEL PEACE PRIZE?

As a people, we have much more in common than not, and itās our responsibility to reject charlatans of *every stripe* who profess to have our interests at heart, yet hold a finger on the scale for themselves This is on us - all of us and itās on us to right the ship
A robust polity focuses not on enshrining canonical thought and kneecapping dissent but rather on discourse: Disagreeing agreeably, and tolerance, excepting the intolerant
Dems are vastly more constrained by their willful fecklessness than their present seat count. The ostensible āreasonablenessā of centrism is in my view ultimately a sham - a velvet authoritarianism Trojan horse, rationalized to comfort the comfortable and empower in the powerful
The day he truly earned his spot in Hell
Even if itās not malicious compliance, the fact that theres no clear objective, and thus the administration needs to provide specifics is going to tend to bias things toward inaction ā¦and in turn loss of face for the admin, which is critical to deciding which way this tips
Unfortunately, avoiding the Cool Zone for too long is cringe. So get that drip and go CLAP, Gav
Seems like a pretty weak argument to make under an RCV election
And then thereās the age and character of the man. Though quite similar in terms of narcissistic overconfidence to the man with the tiny mustache, there is nonetheless a huge difference in stamina
Maybe this is just copium, but for all our problems, I feel like the character of the US is pretty different than Weimar. The sheer geography for that matter. Plus the internet, economic ties, etc
Due-process for all would be a lot better for the country than what typically happens in the history books, thatās for sure. But you canāt really predict the behavior of crowds - and the admin sure seems to want to turn up the temperature in a hurry
Will be amusing when AI ends up creating *more* jobs overall due to slop cleanup
And theyāll have a real big surprised-Pikachu face when they get what all authoritarians get. They do seem to be speed-running it though
I suspect this take will prove prescient. Theyāre neophytes who donāt understand soft power, and sooner or later it will be their undoing.
Quite courageous and professional for him to disable replies after he got ratioed for his profoundly idiotic take Is it just him that has brain worms? Or are there others on @theatlantic.com staff?
Not sure when, and not sure how, but if history is any guide, itās probably going to go very poorly for him sooner or later. Kinds of wild how fascists universally seem to think theyāll be the first ones in history to safely remain on top. Narcissism is a hell of a drug

This is just plain sociopathic. It also does her no favors with voters. Totally perplexing (watch to the end)

Well put. At a certain point, itās really the frogās fault isnāt it?
Itās going to be really amusing when someday in the far future, scientists finally prove that Mistake Theorists and Conflict Theorists were actually totally independent species.
To start, people (all people) can be far dumber than weād like to think. Then, factor in that the intelligence of a crowd universally decreases below the median intelligence of the individuals in it. It doesnāt make it ok, but it behoves us all to understand the beast.
* Musee dāorsay is a must (self guided is fine) * MusĆ©e dāarts et mĆ©tiers * Eiffel Tower and catacombs were touristic, but still worth it * Arc de Triomph / champs-ĆlysĆ©es really not worth it š¤·āāļø * Fat tire walking tours / Versailles bike tour were fun * SacrĆ© cÅur and Montmartre Bonne journĆ©e !
* Picnic at Parc Monceau * St Martin Canal boat cruise from La Villette (or just a picnic on the canal) * The opera (Garnier or Bastille. Amazing productions. More chill than expected) * life changing vegan sandwiches/pastries at Land and Monkeys * Book a louvre tour to avoid overwhelm
But I need *ALL of it* to cope with my crushing personal insecurity and stunted psychosocial development šāāļø
Had occasion to look back at the Papers We Love San Diego UTF8 talk by my colleague Marvin Humphrey from a few years back, and it remains the most thorough, clear (and fun!) presentation on character encoding Iāve seen youtu.be/mhvaeHoIE24?...
The gerontocratic patronage system has fully investigated itself and discovers no problems with gerontocratic patronage š
Makes sense. As an anthropologic/polysci matter, Iām genuinely curious about the proportion of * Post stroke personality change * Age related cynicism * Narcissism, careerism š * Peter principle He was dealt a bad hand on the first, but the rest he (and the DNC) really need to own
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but the signs he was a shitbag were very clear *well before* his election. A pretty typical DNC sanewash job Iād say.
Itās a movement
* No longer awaits bounded channel send, to avoid node getting wedged in cases where senders become unresponsive * Multiple other optimizations, bug fixes, and refactors
* PolicyAgent now fully integrated - accepts arbitrary context data for contemporaneous policy checks + Attestations for memorializing approvals * Removed redundant clock from Backends struct * Transaction.edit(modelview) no longer does a fetch (and thus can be synchronous, and faster)
New in 0.4.0: * Entities how have a full causal history (coming soon: cross-event causality, bloom-filtered skip-links, remediation of complex concurrencies) * EventIds are now content-based hashes * Each "system" now has a well defined causal root event, and metadata across restarts

Monsters are real - and we have blood on our hands from delivering them aid and comfort.
The other problem is that Schumerās red line is a very small circle around him personally.
Every supervillain has an origin story ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ I just want to know, if not birthright, what exactly do you base citizenship on?
Which is exactly why @garyseconomics.bsky.social and public educators like him are the revolutionaries we need
And lord help you if you try to explain how monetary systems actually work. Wait, you mean that *every* dollar that exists is a debt owed to someone? And only ~10% of that debt is owed to the central banks š¤Æ
Problem is, most people think the wealthy have likeā¦ 10x more money than them When you explain itās in fact several orders of magnitude higher (an inconceivable number) it feels like a lie, b/c that level of inequality would shatter their worldview Much easier to rationalize some bogeyman instead
@governor.ca.gov donāt let the door hit your ass on the way out

Technically his could be correct. ICE agents have a tendency to face toward the victims they are assaulting šāāļø
I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
Ah, but feigning victimhood for imagined linguistic persecution (ahem, singular they opponents) is good for those sweet internet points - which makes the sadness go away for a minute
The irony in all of this: Their bigotry and weaponized ignorance is fueled primarily by the rise of social media and the manosphere creating a loneliness epidemic - which is the primary cause of collapsing birth rates. Itās literally mental illness.

The skeleton key to understanding reactionary conservatism is quite simple: they are scared, all the time, of everything.
Hey now, Lutnick had no way of knowing this would result in a handsome profit for him personally Itās a total coincidence šāāļø
Sure weāre making billions and losing trillions, but weāll make it up in volume š¤”
This may be true, but bear in mind that itās the *last* one to disavow the emperor that wins
Whether itās in two years or ten, one way or another this house of cards will fall. Tr*mpāll prob have a coronary before then, so he gets off easy, but the restā¦ do they not read history books at all?
Itās almost like the country craves an alternative to the profoundly shabby state of corporate-money-corruption and boomer-liberalism of the Democratic Party. What a concept š
If you truly think we canāt, then shut up about it. Otherwise get out of your momās basement and get involved šŖš» Proportional representation might be better, but thatās way less likely. RCV may not be perfect but it has existing mindshare
Rather than sliding into fatalistic hogwash about shabby dems being our only hopeā¦ **we can actually do better** We can lobby state houses HARD for RCV. Removing the cynicism from voting will *dramatically* transform our political discourseā¦ and our candidates
First offā¦ I expect nothing but continued corporate-money-corruption and tired boomer liberalism from the DNC. Second: Schumer, Durbin, Gillibrand, Jeffries, et al. couldnāt defend us from a mildly annoyed poodle. We need Folks with some actual goddamned gumption to avert this particular nightmare
That wonāt be a problem if we can roll out Ranked Choice Voting. Hey, isnāt it funny that the DNC has so staunchly opposed RCV? Itās a real stumper š¤
Isnāt this a central feature of fascist movements? Not that we can rest by any means, but they have a consistent self destructive pattern to them. Itās fundamental - denying truth and throwing your weight around damn the consequences - has unavoidable consequences.
This is not news. Incel jackboots have been self-selecting for ICE for a *long* time

Smells like maneuvering by Rubio. Not that he remotely deserves credit for anything at this point.
Iāve never seen a man who earned it as much as little Marco has
Ouch. Weāre sorry Canada. Californians are super against this whole mess.
Weāre going to have to rename the Peter Principle after all this
The Democratic Party is 100% ok with maintaining the two party system, because they benefit from it. They are *not* our allies
Whenever I point out this as a direct consequence of Primaries + First-past-the-post voting, and we urgently need Ranked Choice Votingā¦ the ostensibly-democratic person Iām talking to says āoh thatās impractical, what we really need is to screech louderā I feel like Iām taking crazy pills
Iām trying to reason about the cause of this immense misalignment Is it a perspective problem of the too-comfortable gerontocracy? Endemic corruption by business interests? Something else?
Not meek. Corrupt. Took a bunch of spaceX money
Iām going to frame this picture
This is why candidates in both US parties are against RCV It disadvantages them by letting the public first explore then express their actual preferences faithfully, thus preventing their current exploitation of the perverse effects of spoilers/cynicism I imagine the same might be true for Canada?
