General engineer. No, more general than that. Angry we aren’t caring for each other more, trying to fix it.
It’s like imagining the end of the divine right of kings to imagine some day when traffic engineering gives up codified human sacrifice.

On a surface level yeah thinking of yourself as the only real person is grandiose, but the main route to getting there is not believing you could be a person worthy of love and respect and success, and needing another explanation.

I think it is a lot harder to do mass politics in a world where a lot of people are materially comfortable.

This is deep self-loathing.

The tech industry being chock full of metaphors for tangible work loudly gives away this anxiety.

He has her lying, and then rather than dropping the hammer he adds useless words in between, and then he says "will you commit to at least reviewing his case" which she will of course say yes to. What is the point of this???

Safety from infectious disease and starvation hopefully, but one reason people do not want to go into shelters is the certainty of being assaulted and robbed, vs having some measure of safety out in public on the street due to visibility.

4) Ages ago I noted there's just a vast gap in experience, in language, in the very ideas between the very rich, the techbros, and the rest of us, as deep as, say, THE ARRIVAL aliens. We do not use words with the same meaning. Don't even have the same value in and from the human experience

Did you see his rant this evening? All signs point to that he cannot deal.

The only conclusion I can draw from this is that there is something physically wrong and cognitively wrong with Trump, he knows it, and he's angry and frightened.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Exactly who should have sole authority over a nuclear arsenal, and the lack of articles of impeachment suggests every congressperson agrees.

Ok that headline gave me today’s belly laugh, thank you.

Here's an opening video explaining why I'm running: I think the US Congress is a good idea, and it would be nice if we had one.

whyyy is it being left up to the patient community to do this? You cannot defeat antivax bias if you don't help people. This is on top of every public health department letting its pro vax posts get taken over with antivax comments & not moderating them. So dept of health digital teams are hurting

Rebrand "Area Studies" as "Area Market Research" and I think we just saved the Humanities?
