they have to tell this lie about harris running too far left because they're not allowed to say "look, we will not run on the left regardless of electoral performance because our rich donors pay us not to"
This is so profoundly strange from @slotkin.senate.gov. The Harris campaign ran one of the most aggressive outreach efforts to moderates, independents, and soft Republicans in recent memory!

Why would we bring back the mammoth? Where is it going to live, in zoos? What about spending this money on maintaining biodiversity?

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

can't decide if they are knowingly trying to reduce US influence abroad or if they're just so averse to academic language that they can't read between the lines of the program titles. are they confused that they don't see programs titled like "spies" & "bribes" & so on lol
It's so extremely wild to see that in less than 3 months Elon single-handedly is shredding decades of work the CIA did to build economic soft-power bases throughout Africa and Asia.

bro actually is ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of the American Empire in real time

We could all make so much progress and live beautiful, comfortable lives if not for a few pieces of shit hoarding everything; it feels so backwards and ridiculous. Our true potential as a species being squandered in the name of “capitalism”.

Adoro il modo in cui i giornali raccontano dei truffati dal falso Crosetto senza mai ventilare una delle due uniche definizioni possibili: o completi idioti, o predisposti a volute pratiche di riciclaggio e favoritismi politici.

Invece il #GovernoMeloni la fa divenire cassa di propaganda, proprio come in quegli anni.

It gives you a lot less dead Americans but at the trade off of many many more dead innocents abroad
Incremental liberalism has given us lot less dead innocent people than a violent revolution.

A violent revolution only guarantees violence. Governing after that viloence will be even harder than it is now imo as more rebuilding will be required.

so anyone who says they want to eliminate affirmative action in favor of a return to "merit-based" opportunity is really just a tell about how they define merit..

This is an important point. Not everyone survives hard times, but if you just give up and decide that the apocalypse is inevitable and nothing can be changed, you become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The future has yet to be written, but we can choose whether to fight for the world we want to create.
a key take away from reading a lot of history for me:

the people who survive hard times and eventually brutally humiliate their seemingly invincible enemies are not the people whose first response to adversity is “oh well, guess I’ll die”

People are easier to break down if they think they are already ruined.

We are not there. Grateful to Carl for this post reminding me of that.

Don’t obey in advance & don’t surrender either. Do what you need to care for yourself & get ready to fight like hell for our profession & everyone’s health.
"Officials halted midstream a training workshop for junior scientists, called off a workshop on adolescent learning minutes before it was to begin, and canceled meetings of two advisory councils."

It could've been telegraphed in advance. The fear, uncertainty, chaos, and disruption are the point.

You know the "🔹AI Overview" you get on Google Search?

I discovered today that it's repeating as fact something I made up 7 years ago as a joke.

"Kyloren syndrome" is a fictional disease I invented as part of a sting operation to prove that you can publish any nonsense in predatory journals...
