When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

"The left went too far" in contemporary U.S. politics is almost always a lie and a very convenient way to rationalize moral failure. For example, "MeToo went too far" replaces "I do not care about sexual violence or its victims and I don't want to have to even feel bad about that"

Musk is unilaterally wrecking the government from within and lining his own pockets. Get him out, terminate his access to all government systems. If you can't rally the public against a cartoonishly corrupt bond villain who's stealing from them in plain sight then get out of politics
Senate Democrats met privately today for lunch to discuss strategy. They widely disapprove of the six-month bill that House Republicans passed, but they remain jittery about a government shutdown if it fails. With Rand Paul a NO, the bill needs at least 8 Dems to pass the Senate. Jury's still out.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.”
Absurd we still need to go through this

If one guy holds most of the tech people rely on, it is a vulnerability, but also it's one guy: as a global population we should be able to easily just take it from him, so it seems to me the real vulnerability is an internalized belief that private ownership is more sacrosanct than human thriving.
Musk threatens to shut off Starlink access if Ukraine won’t sign the minerals “deal”.
So many of us warned about Europe’s near-total tech dependence on the US. Deeply irresponsible to rely on the continued benevolence of an external actor for such vital systems. kyivindependent.com/us-threatens...

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters
The U.S. first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink service after Zelensky rejected the deal presented on Feb. 12. Starlink terminals are critical in securing Ukraine's battlefield communicati...

Correct me if I am wrong, but no attack on Israel has emerged from Syria post-Assad; Israel currently occupies a buffer zone within Syria, which the new Syrian government has complained about, but not attempted to remove.
We're just lighting Westphalian sovereignty on fire, huh?

My favorite Kurt Vonnegut quote--"you are what you pretend to be"--comes from Mother Night, a novel about an American spy who pretends to be a Nazi propagandist only to realize later in life he was just being a Nazi propagandist
Think I’ll pass on the piece in which a racist creep explains why a major party embracing the Nazi salute really isn’t a big deal.

see the democrats would like to be more popular but without doing anything fundamentally differently, proposing anything too ambitious, working with anyone outside their bubble or giving any power to anyone who isn't a wealthy 60+ conservative
