We may need to consider that bluesky culture, particularly trans bluesky culture, is in need of a course correction. Wanting him to word every post so perfectly that even an adversary couldn't find another meaning in a statement is not a standard you can reasonably hold anybody to.

FYI: I am going to stop summarizing Supreme Court decisions on here as they come down. One comment has been plucked out of context of all my reporting, misread, and used as the basis of a mean-spirited pile-on. I am not going to subject myself to this. If this was your goal, then congratulations.

As someone who went through conversion talk therapy I'd kindly like to show Mark to the nearest cliff's edge

I agree with this + I sorta sneered at the “resistance within the Trump administration” stuff but in retrospect there were principled people within his first administration preventing enormous harm.

imo of all the formal political institutions in US life, the judiciary has given the best account of itself by a pretty large margin (with the obvious exception of SCOTUS) and a younger me was way more dismissive of the courts than history would prove deserved

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

it's so odd to me to see people go to bat for a political newcomer like platner. it's not like he's spent years earning our trust. we have very, very few data points about this dude, and one of those data points is "he has a nazi tattoo."

it boggles my mind that so many leftists, who broadly subscribe to an ideology that correctly points out the bad incentives of capitalism, have decided that the obvious incentive for constraining supply when you own some of the supply simply does not apply to homeowners

It dispels many myths 1. Corporations own most of the homes. FALSE. They do not 2. Corporations want to keep homes vacant. FALSE. They like renting them out to *make money* instead of losing it. 3. Homeowners are the heroes fighting against this. FALSE. They drive up prices making this possible
