i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

i took libertarianism seriously in college because i thought civil liberties mattered and everyone like me is a socialist now
The failure of libertarians to pick the right side in this has exposed their whole thought system. A principled libertarian attack on limiting government overreach would be welcome at this time. Put no such thing exists. Libertarian just means selfish.

Hi,

I’ve been a software developer for 30 years, including in very large IT projects.

Everything about “DOGE” and a bunch of Hitlerjugend walking into a data center and optimizing a code base and data grown over 70 years in a few days is complete bullshit on its nose.

Sincerely,
Thomas

I still think people are nuts to be fighting about campaign message when voters keep telling us over and over they didn’t hear campaign messages.

this concept can be applied to almost every phenomenon in American discourse such as the positives and negatives of capitalism, history, equality, climate, and so on. Shocking how much the right will scream and rant about "facts" they kinda sorta learned as children
