It’s all about the dynamic vs. formal equivalence, baby.
It’s intriguing how “It would be better for all the Jews to die than for them to defend themselves from extermination, because as it is now I can’t sentimentalize them as noble victims and passive martyrs, sacrifices for my sins” is accompanied by “I’m not antisemitic”.

These fucking things have been out of service at my station for forever. What’s the point of incorporating new technologies and buying new equipment if you’re not going to maintain it? At that point, there’s minimal value added; it becomes a pure boondoggle for the contractor.

Does anyone else bristle at this framing? WSJ says blue books are “torturing” students with hand cramps, and “nobody likes them.”

Listen, students have been outsourcing everything to AI and cheating their way through college. Blue books should be celebrated as a return to authentic human learning.
They Were Every Student’s Worst Nightmare. Now Blue Books Are Back.
Cheating with ChatGPT has become a huge problem for colleges. The solution is painfully old-school.

Mockler: Electricity prices are skyrocketing right now. This does not help electricity prices, does not help the American people. It's another example of Trump following his weird vengeance ambitions rather than actually focusing on affordability.

NEW: Ohio has just restricted mail voting, banning the so-called 'grace period' that allows mail ballots to come in the day after Election Day as long as they've been postmarked in time.

This is likely to lead to thousands of Dem-leaning ballots to be rejected.

Ohio is following Trump's demands.
Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes - Bolts
Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

Everytime I hear “It didn’t start on Oct. 7”, I want to respond, “No, Hamas has been murdering Palestinians and Israelis since 1987. They really should be made to stop that.”

one thing that is kind of nice about trump is he just says the quiet part out loud

yes, the idea is to drive house prices down with more supply, and yes, that means that some people are going to lose some unearned wealth
Trump: If we build more housing, the price of homes will go down, and homeowners will lose their wealth.
