Not totally the point, but Matt saying “I advocate for modern dems doing what they’re already doing because they’re doing it” is some circular, sycophantic nonsense.
matt & co’s theory of how public opinion on immigration would respond to new information was simply empirically wrong.
at this point the only reasonable conclusion is they refuse to update their priors w/ new data because the data is inconvenient for them

I read a while back that no country had gone from majority white to plurality white without heavy state violence, and I think about that a lot.
White men are 30% of the US population but are 80% of show runners according to this article.
I fear that if white men ever got to parity in influential jobs in media & politics & banking instead of having a super majority they would drop nukes on this country.

Will Cain is a whole bitch who got wrecked in sports and had to go shake ass for racists for money
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."
He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

So you’re saying you don’t like slop being shown to you without a way to avoid it? Huh. Weird.
Anyway, real answer is that you could make your account private for a few days while the world moves on, but that’s incompatible with attention being your primary goal.

This is what being a Chiefs fan should feel like. Just abject horror and being good enough to make mistakes at all the wrong times. Feels like home.

I genuinely believe this is a huge part of the LLM worship; half of these people are functionally illiterate
Putting aside all the horrible shit in them: I cannot believe the global elite composes emails like fucking horses who somehow learned to crudely type. My emails read like Shakespeare compared to the lowercased, unpunctuated screeds written to the worlds biggest pedophile. Fucking write like adults!

I had a real rough summer break between like 7th and 8th grade and read A CALL TO ARMS and PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER in about 3 days that was definitely an inflection point
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

and I guess to answer the question, the reason I watch sports isn't to make assertive statements about who is and isn't cheating, it's because I like watching sports to see what happens when athletes attempt greatness. that's part of what is a huge bummer about scandals like this.

Bankrupting CBS and selling to Newsmax is going faster than I’d thought possible
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.
