just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

If I were running for president I'd mention in every speech and debate that I intend to seize every asset owned by the Trump family and use it on restarting USAID and immigrant/asylum-seeker protection and naturalization programs, just to see if I can make that fucker so mad his head pops.

Maybe the main thing that gets me; trans people are such a tiny minority that if the 1st through say, 15th things you think/say/(God forbid post) about them aren’t variations on “How can I help them out?” you are genuinely going out of your way to be weird and mean.
Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid.
Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊

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."

I think most bigots have at least a dim awareness of their reliance on those they hate and fear, and the fact that this reliance is in no way reciprocal; Indeed, I suspect this awareness is a large driver of the hate and the fear.

Hi hello the Venezuela stuff is entirely about oil, both in Venezuela and in Guyana (where Venezuela is laying claim to the oil in what is now Exxon’s largest oilfield, which Chevron has also bought into). It is the bidding of US oil majors and it’s not remotely subtle.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

My daughter walked into the kitchen and said, “Siri, play ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now.’” My son said this song is everywhere now.
I had my time with The Smiths in my teens and early 20s, but I soon banished these depressing songs from my life.
Surreal to see them return.

Huge news from the UK today: after UN climate talks in which there was a massive fight over language on fossil fuels, the UK government today announced that it will in fact be keeping many millions of barrels of oil & gas in the ground. Deeds rather than just words for a change! 🧵
