I wish more people understood the difference between good comms and good policy. Of course if they did, we wouldn’t have Fetterman either.

Yes, I know about My Lai but that was before I was born.
This is an entirely different edition of evil enacted by men and women who volunteered and committing remote murders during peace time for the entertainment of the Secretary of Defense and his social media followers.

This is going to be on my mind every time I hear some kid day he is going to join the military to serve this country.

Yeah. It's almost like they're on board with the president being able to execute brown people for existing just like they were when Obama did it.
Both parties are not the same, but they both endorse American imperial violence.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

No matter where it begins, every political conversation or analysis among libs ends up at language, word choice, "framing." Just an endless, bottomless, almost pre-conscious faith that they can persuade their opponents to cede power.

I was talking to a friend today, and her son is a class at school that is I guess supposed to promote financial responsibility and planning—learning about things like investing in the stock market and the like—and the teacher is hyping PolyMarket.
Chat, we're cooked if we don't ban this stuff.

My strategy of not gambling and just having an advisor who puts my money in blue chip stocks and leaving it there for the long-term seems boring but on the other hand I'm actually on track for retirement atm?
Fuckin people watching Netflix making prop bets on what minute of the episode we’re first gonna see Vecna. People betting on whether it’s gonna be a Toyotathon commercial or an Activia commercial. Just a little QR code in the bottom corner of every show asking you to bet on everything.

Santa knows who is naughty and who is nice. He knew damn well that all of the other reindeer used to laugh and call Rudolph names. Yet Santa did nothing.
The real question is why Rudolph took a job working for a man who was complicit in Rudolph's childhood of torment.

A high street trolley from Beechwold to the Brewery District would make this city significantly more pleasant.
I think Columbus should go all in on “Arch City”. Add more arches across the city. Bring back trolley buses/trams that utilize the arches. 🚎

It’s “complex.” Yeah. One of the most lucrative games in Columbus is to spend taxpayer dollars to build and support a private soccer stadium & a private hockey arena while maintaining a tiny fig leaf to claim that government isn’t paying for the stadium & arena.

German Village is one of the wealthiest parts of Colunbus. I can see why the city doesn’t want to be forced to build custom ADA ramps (costing 6x more) at the expense of all city taxpayers. If German Village gets cool, custom-built ramps, so should the rest of the city.
Columbus City Council to weigh in on fight between German Village and city officials over balancing expense, accessibility and historic preservation.
