Someone recently described online discourse as "more ignant than ignorant" and I can't stop thinking about it.

Left-leaning political rants, with an interest in code, game design, non-fiction.

Trump 2.0:
❌ foreign aid

Mockler: It's uniquely important to Trump now that there's a presumption of innocence, but he's willing to proactively say that people like Schiff, people like Letitia James, are guilty. Now, it's very, very important that we're super careful about what photos we're releasing.

If refusing to comment is enough to kill a story, then the government now has veto power over journalism.
That’s what CBS normalized last night — and it should scare everyone.

CBS Pulled a “60 Minutes” Story Because the White House Refused to Comment — That’s a Veto on Journalism
Pulling a finished investigation because the administration refused to comment isn’t journalism. It’s submission.

Bluesky is basically two groups: middle-aged dorks who like graphs, and middle-aged dorks who are like "IF YOU SHOW ME A GRAPH I WILL CHOP OFF YOUR HEAD"

Holy smokes the quotes here are deranged. He's pro-housing and pro-immigration but people on here are fantasizing about executing him because they can't read
Homelessness increased primarily because of immigration (lots of people came to the US without setting up housing).

This whole thread is: "I would rather have a Republican in the Senate than Manchin".

Yeah, that might feel good, but 1 shitty vote is better than -1 shitty vote.
This is why I'm really starting to hate the data bros.

Matty Y: "Dems should focus less on climate change/renewable energy, it's a losing issue."

Sean Casten (an actual Congressman): "I won a purple district multiple times by focusing on those issues"

Lakshya: "YEAH BUT YOU DIDN'T OVERPERFORM"

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

i think this is the most compelling thing in Mahmood Mamdani’s vision about postcolonial politics. he explicitly disavows any idea of demanding people humble themselves about historical traumas, but he wants to encourage everyone to see themselves as _survivors_ of history, and we all work w/in it.

Rob Reiner was a legend. And it feels like impact of his death took us back to the mono-culture for a moment. "Hmm, maybe evil is bad."

We could use more Fred Rogers today.
I miss Fred Rogers.

I miss having a national hero who modeled virtues like empathy, humility, compassion, grace, and kindness.

The bullies have stolen the national spotlight. Bravado may be celebrated now, but it is destructive — causing only pain and humiliation.

Let’s move the spotlight.

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?

TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

You can tell that he thinks he lived an ordinary life and feels like, "yeah, maybe everyone doesn't need a gold toilet".

When, you know, this probably more like going from 1 doll to no dinner.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."
