Kinda funny that my Holy Grail of lost computer history is literally just some emails and Word documents about planning a boring minor release of Windows that changed track after like eight weeks.

relatedly, ralph nader deserves to be remembered for the rest of time as someone who voluntarily assisted in a critical attack on american democracy, the importance of which far outweighs any of his consumer advocacy
bush v gore is the hinge upon which basically everything awful from the last quarter century swings on
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

I need to be clear about this, we're no longer being 'warned' about this, we're in the midst of a generational crisis caused by this.
You don't get Elon Musk, J.K. Rowling, Yoon Suk-yeol, Marc Andreesen and countless others in their reactionary incarnations without social media addiction. Period.

Trump won in 2024 by 1.5%pts and the press acted like he got a mandate to be god-emperor, can’t wait for them to be dismissive of victories in places the Democratic Party hasn’t won in 20 years

not to bring the vibe down, but my guess is that after tonight Trump will probably double down on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and intimidation as tactics to disincentivize Dem turnout ahead of next year‘s midterms. (with margins like these, it won’t matter, but it’s a time to be vigilant)

"Literally every ideology that should be legal" the party. Also known as a little less than half of America.
it's funny that the Democratic coalition basically spans everywhere from former Lt Gov of GA (anti-Trump Republican) to NY municipal socialist

It’s also very funny that people are just saying this now in response to LLMs. Like LLMs are annoying but they’re not the cause of this, you’re literally on social media right now.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Turning the Civil War from "a tragedy, brother against brother" into "The Good Guys Destroyed The Bad Guys" is necessary. It is absolutely essential. The fourth grade class I attended in the 1990s sang Dixie every morning and we need to completely stomp that out.

"You are a very different person than I thought you were" is just such a brain-dead statement, as if Greene doesn't understand that she has to be on her best behavior while she uses this talk show appearance to change her image.
this is beyond a media rehab, it's the structural terraforming of a noxious sinkhole

They do not think we are a real mass movement.
That's why they have all the crazy "Cathedral" and "Longhouse" and paid protestors shit.
They simply do not believe people believe in liberalism.
They lack a realistic theory of mind for us.
