This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Just an outstanding thread, equal parts withering and inspiring. Read the whole thing!
49. The game isn't over by far. But make no mistake: we are winning. That's something to be proud of. It's something to accelerate. It's nothing to take for granted. And it's certainly no time to take Yglesias' advice and fumble the ball so the other team won't feel so sad. /fin

Never stops annoying me that we get endless handwringing about how unsafe and untested lething trans people have hormones or puberty blockers while there's a fucking billion dollar industry hocking testosterone supplements and steroid injections to insecure teenage boys without anybody giving a shit

We just cancelled <all> federal area studies/foreign language funding at universities nationwide to ostensibly “save” $86M. How much of that did we waste on this one authoritarian farce alone?
Extraordinary to think how much time, effort, and taxpayer money has been spent pursuing this one guy (who has a US citizen as a wife and a US citizen as a child).
And for basically no reason. Capricious, personalistic, unjust, wasteful.

Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.
Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What grinds my gears is when ppl point out “hey you got some antisemitism in your antiZionism” and instead of being like “shit, thanks, lemme read some sources on that trope so I can avoid it” the response is often “fuck off Zionist shill” regardless of the politics of the person pointing it out
antizionism isn’t inherently antisemitism but a hell of a lot of antisemites use antizionism as cover and way too many antizionists fall for it over and over again
As much as I want us to guard against characterizing criticism of Israeli policy as inherently antisemitic man it really fucking sucks that there are so many pro-Palestinian voices out there who truly could not spot Good Ole Fashioned Judenhaß if it bit them on the ass

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

It is honestly shattering to my politics that people said stuff like "give people help with health care cost and lots of money to build green infrastructure and you will win over the working class"
Biden did that; He got very unpopular and people keep saying this is the same secret to winning.

Acquaint yourself with the major antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Seattle has had a series of mayors who got elected promising to “finally” use police to crack down on homelessness — the existing policy that every previous mayor has deployed.
Once they get into office they don’t deliver because it doesn’t work. We waste four years and the problem gets worse.

The story about the gun got buried, virtually nobody in any position of influence talked about it. The more significant element of this was money. The business class within Seattle really liked his harsh-crackdowns-on-unhoused-people policy, and they put a lot of resources behind his campaign.
