The Luka trade was the exogenous shock that rattled me from my stupor and made me realize almost everyone in power in any field right now is literally, in the clinical sense, addicted to both gambling and attention, and doesn't give a single shit about anyone else. I was clearly not alone here.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Republicans and Democrats listen to the same cynical think tanks that believe people can be boiled down to simple statistical identities and if you hit enough prerequisites you automatically win votes in those identities. It only works for Republicans because their secret sauce is bigotry.

There's a defense mechanism where many people need to rationalize why someone is suffering so they don't need to feel empathy. I see it a lot in housing policy, but it extends to all areas of life in this country.
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

The Supreme Court announcing that a president cannot not be held criminally liable for virtually anything he does in office based on nothing in the text, structure, or history of the Constitution was extremely bad, IMHO

I really want the use of 'Kavanaugh Stop' to become so prevalent it makes its way into a legal pleading and I want Kavanaugh to write a pissy op-ed about how that hurts his feelings but only applies the Streisand effect to the term.

This isn’t to say they aren’t going to try to do fascism or do very dangerous or sadistic things for the sake of making content, we’re seeing that with the boats in Venezuela, but that you have to think about them as content creators first because everything makes more sense if you do.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.
