Litigation heavy firms and lawyers were also far less likely to capitulate! They make their bread by fighting for their clients. Iirc at paul weiss it was the corporate lawyers who pushed very heavily to make a deal

Seen some people saying this is obviously AI, so I went and found the buildings in the video. Looks to be 1639-1633 W hubbard st, chicago.

I would like democrats to actually hate republicans at least

jeff com-BOO-ters @helldude.bsky.social · 1d

the inverse of this is how much of politics is now just accepting that you have to vote for people who hate you, so your best option is to vote for people who hate other people more than they hate you

I think the main refreshing thing about Mamdani, for me, is that he actually likes New York City and wants to see it thrive for everyone.

Again, unless you’re hanging out on specific corners of Bluesky or Twitter, you’re likely not exposed to these videos of ICE being out of control. Mainstream media and other important validating institutions are ignoring it because they’re convinced that’s the savvy play.

I'm very, very fucking disappointed in American athletes, especially right now

So much social justice in America was gained by famous athletes being on the front lines of those fights. We are getting absolutely nothing right now.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 1d

The reason the ICE videos aren’t producing a backlash of that scale (yet) is that our institutional elites are deeply committed to ignoring them, which both reduces their spread and reduces the sense that this is something important we SHOULD be freaking out about.

Relatedly, I recall a lot of "the joy of canceling plans" jokes and memes from the 2010s and now folks are talking about a loneliness epidemic, and, well...

People will scoff at virtue signaling and then wonder why today’s billionaires don’t build museums, libraries, hospitals, and universities like Gilded Age ones did.

Ian Carroll, whom Democratic representative Ro Khanna is featuring in this video, claims Israel invented Holocaust denial to discredit its critics, that the US is controlled by a "Zionist mafia," and that Jews did 9/11.

Really bad that Democrats are platforming overt antisemites like this!

Ro Khanna @rokhanna.bsky.social · 3d

I don't take a dime from any PAC or lobbyist, including AIPAC.

I am proud to be one of the handful of Democrats standing up against Big Money.

Not sure why there's suddenly a complete freakout on the far right about bloodlust from liberals for revenge come 2029. Could be mirror propaganda to stir up preemptive crackdowns or just a realization of how hated these people are.

The moment that they finish with undocumented immigrants and trans people, they will turn their full attention to legal immigrants, green card holders, and gay people (and they are doing this right now).

Same for gay people, black people, women etc. You cannot give them an inch.

Also, the right is not going to stop at undocumented immigrants and trans people. Part of the merit of fighting so hard for the “softer” far right targets is that it ALSO keeps the right from going after those who aren’t on their list now.

Aubrey Gilleran @aubreygilleran.bsky.social · 3d

This is the problem, though. If your moderation doesn't actually lead to negative outcomes for the groups that are being thrown under the bus, then it's not actual moderation, and conservative voters recognize that. Blue Dogs who voted for Obama's judicial nominees were thrown out because 1/

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias.bsky.social · 3d

I think that Democrats winning more elections would be extremely beneficial on net for all the relevant groups, even if what it took to get there was some moderation on specific positions.

Is a Senate majority made up of Blanche Lincolns better for women and other vulnerable groups than a Senate made up of Tom Cottons? Absolutely. But that’s why Arkansas voters voted out Lincoln and then elected Cotton.

I just remember when finals time came around it forced me to organize my schedule and create checklists, and figuring that out helped me more in my career than anything I learned in school.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
