As someone who has also had a spinal fusion operation (mine was cervical) and years of horrific pain, I think the x-ray photo on his profile is far more important in understanding the shooter's motivations for attacking a health insurance CEO than any retweeting activity or Goodreads reviews.
the person of interest in the shooting of the United CEO has been ID’d as Luigi Mangione, an Ivy League grad and fan of Breloom, the mushroom Pokémon.

Seeing the differences between all the platforms like Bluesky, X, FB, Threads, Mastodon, etc. it’s really wild how much user behaviour / culture is a direct product of design / algorithms
Basically, we’re products of our environments

I've got two intellectual methodologies.
The first is to toss out a relatively arbitrary, spur of the moment provocation that has crossed my mind, and then backfill it until I have a structurally sound argument or realize I have to abandon the premise.

I’ve written a lot on methodology in political philosophy with more to come, but really my methodology is that of the compost heap. Read bits and pieces of a lot of different things, let it meld together, and hope something fertile comes out the other side in a year or two.

The second is to "try on" the approach of a particularly compelling author I'm reading and apply it like a doppelganger to the concepts and problems I'm processing at the moment, until I've integrated it into my own toolkit.

'Stand your ground' doesn't apply to people who were enslaved, sexually abused, filmed, and finally killed their abusers in self-defence.
Breaking news: A judge sentenced Chrystul Kizer charged with killing the man who sex trafficked her as a teenager to 11 years in prison plus five years of extended supervision.
Chrystul Kizer sentenced to 11 years for killing her sex trafficker
The decision ends a six-year legal saga that sought to test the limits of the court’s leniency toward survivors of sexual abuse who commit resulting crimes.

a weird thing has happened over the years on (parts of) reddit where dunking on people for not knowing stuff became uncool and being helpful became popular. it’s wild to spend time on a place like twitter that optimizes for assholery and then go to reddit and see everyone acting like this
