This is an absurd lie.

It was an election season, I'm sure you can find many, many speeches where he promised these two specific things. Prove it.
Think about electoral politics for like two seconds.

Obama won by promising two specific things, codifying Roe and universal single payer.

He proportionally won in one of the biggest wins of all time.

On universal single payer.

He squelched, and the Dems have and will continue to pay.

Our "newbies get to do wheelies in Prod" policy may cause a lot of disasters, but it also helps a lot of people get learning experiences, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,
xAI blaming a new hire for changing the system prompt without asking first is, if true (it isn't) an indictment of xAI's access control practices and not the new hire

It is funny to me that a person makes a statement as generalizing as this while their hair is dyed in multiple colors that used to require collecting tens of thousands of sea snails and harvesting their secretions to produce a single garment.
As an anthropologist, if the only thing I ever did all day was remind people that before the privatization and commodification of land humans had way more free time and peace of mind, it would still not do a dent in how deep this myth has burrowed into people's colonized minds like a parasite
Liberalism is pretty good actually, it's why we have the time and peace of mind enough to even be having these discussions. Every tangible step towards civil rights is founded on the stability brought about under liberalism

Our commentariat is so useless in a crisis.

It's like calling an exterminator, but all he knows how to do is lecture your housecat.

We haven't done enough and UA does not owe us anything in return. Both by morality and realpolitik, helping them defend their country was the correct course of action.

After a post-election break from Bluesky, I'm happy to come back and see that only one person I followed lost their mind and became a doomer.

Some Monday happiness for you. My son is on the spectrum, 6th grade, wants his own friends more than anything. Today a girl knocked on the door and asked whether he could walk to the bus stop with her. He sprinted around to find his shoes, propelled by rocket-fuel joy, and left with her.

I absolutely understand how it can feel this way and yet never in my life has the entire American conservative movement looked as fragile as it does right now.
It’s a bad social media day (especially outside here) and it’s convincing me that we’re doomed to fascism. Maybe this time, maybe next, but it’s coming. As a population we are too in the thrall of our own prejudices and stoking them via salacious rumors to function as a democracy

In the debate, JD Vance was a better politician than Tim Walz.

Unfortunately for JD, Americans hate politicians.

Naturalized citizens are 100% every bit as American as natural born citizens and that truth is one of the best things about the United States.
What’s your thing that shouldn’t be controversial in today’s politics but somehow is?

I want people to vote.

The purest distillation of JD Vance thus far.
This guy isn’t divorced from reality. He’s never even gone on a date with it.
