also not lost on me that many of the same people who say stuff like "we used to be the party of the factory floor" are dinosaur Clintonite or Atari Democrat shitheads. When did the "used to be" start?
i am once again asking who the "leftist extremists in the faculty lounge" shaping democratic party priorities are, and what policies it is that they are instituting

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an ordinary man, has defeated the great might of the US Government
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free. every bit of cruelty, boasting, slander, and persecution was for absolutely fucking nothing.

No surprise they couldn't win over the public when half of them immediately went "Hey guys, let's do what the Nazis, who we admire, did and use this to slander and persecute our enemies" and the other half went "I'm the true heir to his legacy, not all these poser podcasters. Use promo code KIRK to"
I observe that total moral degeneracy tends to have a corrosive effect on a political movement, if it has no genuine standards or principles then it will tend to get devoured by progressively more insane grifters

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

It literally drives me insane. Portnoy and MacAfee are whiny, petulant little man-children who get paid to throw temper tantrums on camera.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

They genuinely don't have anything better to do. These are not people capable of great things. That she was so capable, that trans people can attain successes they must win with lies & slander, gnaws at them. Even when they win, for them it has no savor
Admiral Rachel Levine was the first transgender person to be confirmed by the Senate to serve in the federal government. Her official portrait at HHS headquarters has been altered. n.pr/48HypvT

In retrospect having an elite class composed of people who are really good at rising through the ranks by not rocking the boat left us in a really, really bad place at the moment that elite institutions faced their greatest moral test
One of my most conservative-coded opinions is that one of the reasons we're in this mess is because of the profound decadence, solipsism, moral rot, and general lack of personal virtue afflicting much of the upper PMC / bourgeoisie.

Just spitballing here, but the best should consider having some conviction. And maybe the worst should stop being full of passionate intensity. Idk just my opinion
It's kind of mind-blowing how these tech dorks think they're so smart and have the utmost confidence in their genius, while actual smart people are constantly doubting themselves and critiquing their own arguments.

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

I discovered the concept of "kid 'founds a nonprofit' to boost their college apps" after moving adjacent to one of the wealthiest school districts in Michigan. I grew up well-off but had no idea this was even a thing
the 'conventional wisdom' is correct. parent's SES explains ~20% of SAT score variation. how much variation in "being able to found a non-profit in high school" do you think parent's income explains?
Tapping the chart once again, the conventional wisdom that the SAT is the most equitable aspect of college admissions is completely wrong

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.
