The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it.
ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures.
Losers with power become the most dangerous kind.

I would love to know whether Wayne Hsiung and/or DxE have been the recipients of Effective Altruism money--and if so, just how much. Because the note of self-abjection in this apologia to welfarism resembles the Zinoviev–Kamenev Trial.

Amazing to see how suddenly Republicans and conservatives are keen on hiring more government employees (firefighters!), having higher government budgets, and investing more in infrastructure.

I don't say "plant-based diet" because that's what we all have: the choice is between "plant-based-via-an-animal" and "just eat the plants".

I often feel like Cassandra, having foreseen the rise of US fascism, pandemics, global warming, and ecological collapse more than 25 years ago. "Normality" blindsides us to catastrophe, even when it's standing right on our doorstep. Start preparing for avian flu now.

As Bird Flu Concerns Increase, Don’t Forget About Normalcy Bias
Remember how few governments, businesses, and individual decision-makers were able to respond effectively to the last pandemic. The primary culprit was normalcy bias.

Democrats have become the party of war. Americans are tired of it
In defending the militarist status quo, Democrats ceded the anti-war lane to Republicans. As they enter the political wilderness, it’s time to reckon with what they got so wrong
