it’s insane that real antisemitism like this is intensely normalized and endorsed by the most powerful people in the world but you can’t say free palestine without people trying to ruin your life

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

I was pulled over last night for allegedly going 9mph over despite having cruise control set to the speed limit (the officer even noticed this). I was issued a warning. I guess I won't go the speed limit anymore? 🤔 #publicsafety

On one hand, Trump is moving at breakneck speed to accomplish a project that is generational in scale, which the country didn’t ask for, doesn’t want, and which won’t solve any of its problems. On the other hand there’s no opposition so who’s to say

misinformation is a very real issue, the problem was it was folded into a power-flattering pseudo epistemology where only grimy foreigners and YouTubers were capable of doing it when some of the biggest promoters of misinformation are the NYT and Atlantic. This bred cynicism and indifference.
Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.
