You're like "hey why don't you listen to voters, find out what voters want to vote for?"

And Dem leadership is like "NO fuck you, this Thiel-funded thinktank is my friend. That's my emotional support Ezra Klein"

Mark is dipping into musk’s supply it seems
Have you looked at why RiteAid and thousands of independent pharmacies went out of business, and Walgreens was broke before being bought ? Do you understand who creates the horrific economics for non captive pharmacies ? Of course you don't.

Spend that same energy pushing to break up insurers
After buying it for $18.8 billion, Walgreens' new private equity owner has eliminated paid holidays for all hourly workers on Christmas and New Year's.

Last year, Walgreens had a CEO-to-Worker pay gap of 410 to 1.

Corporate greed that would make even Scrooge blush.

What’s very funny about all this bad faith shit is that “new curative therapies” are almost exclusively paid for by public dollars to in the form of NIH, NSF, WHO grants. Even when private industry “does” the research they invariably rely on public grant money to fund it.

Read a fucking book!
How much are you going to pay doctors?

Which current hospitals get shut down ?

What happens if doctors opt out of the system ? Who is going to invest in new curative therapies. You ?

How much in taxes pr year do you think it's possible to collect if you took every penny from billionaires?
Half the amount that everyone currently pays could provide universal healthcare. Private health companies don’t need to exist. Eliminate them. And use your collective buying power and economies of scale to get it done. Every cent of their profit is healthcare denied.

Imagine interviewing a victim of torture and independently confirming the details of his torture and then being told you can’t broadcast it because the people who ordered the torture wouldn’t give their side of the story.

And somehow, by and large, they largely are able to avoid getting asked basic journalistic questions. Despite often going on TV, despite often being around journalists. It's on the reporters for not even trying.

My main takeaway is not so much how it demonstrates that they know they're full of shit, because we already know that.

My main takeaway is how easy it is to catch them with the simplest follow-up, and how obvious this makes it that they're not used to being asked basic journalistic questions.

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.

Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

People need to wake up and see how shitty npr is. Compared to Fox News it is fine, but they are firmly in the corporate conservative camp.

Do not give them money. Find actual independent journalists who will ask actual questions and not engage in access journalism
Because it’s not just Bari Weiss’ CBS asking this question—in the last few months, I’ve been approached by half a dozen different shows looking to ‘debate’ the same topic.

I even got a request from NPR-distributed “Open to Debate” to see if I’d weigh in on “Has Feminism Hurt Women?”

This is one of the more disingenuous arguments against renewables. Dumb people say this thinking they sound smart

You do not need one big battery. Energy is distributed and not concentrated. A thousand tiny cups would actually be preferable as it keeps local regions in power and distributes risk

Which is worse, stopping the research so you don’t have to ignore it, or continue researching and actively ignore it so you don’t have to disrupt your billionaire benefactors?

How often are you posting on truth social? Gab? Are you active in the storm front forums?
IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.

The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.
