Very informative article. It tipped me from being a Bass supporter toward cautiously leaning toward Raman.
Matthew Lewis -- living in the era of cults and consequences@mateosfo.bsky.social · 2d ago"According to Raman, housing policy is the key issue that distinguishes her today from the Democratic Socialists of America." That's not all that distinguishes her from DSA, but good enough for me. www.vanityfair.com/story/nithya...
“Genocide tells the reader what kind of story he is in and what kind of person he will be if he doubts it. The charge does not conclude the argument: it replaces the need for one.” Very good essay!

On campus, Jewish students are standing up
At the beginning of 2024, Jew hate was running rampant on University of California, Santa Barbara's campus, and I was one of its targets. I was 21 years old, the daughter of Jewish immigrants from the...

The new Ghost in the Shell anime is insanely good. I’m really loving how they capture the look and spirit of old school manga.
I’m tinkering with a board game based on Scooby Doo where you investigate a supernatural mystery. Sometimes it’s a real threat like a zombie attack but sometimes it’s a hoax. The win conditions are different depending on which it is. How often should it be a hoax? 10% of games? 5%? 50%?
Probably the most difficult thing YIMBYs face -- really, anyone who lives in a city -- is that government-subsidized street parking is one of the single largest barriers to affordability, safe streets, and climate action. That's because drivers view it as an entitlement, like social security. 🧵

I’m totally cool with a black Helen of Troy, but Odysseus foreseeing a dark time when the Greeks will forget how to write!? Whatever happened to historical accuracy?
A small business owner of a children's party waterslide company, Francisco Longoria, was driving down the street in a suburban neighborhood when suddenly masked men attacked. ICE thugs broke their windows, assaulted them & shot at them 3 times. “I felt like death was imminent.” #ICELawlessness
Waiting for the cable guy. Our internet has been out since last Thursday. My wife and I both work from home so this has been a huge inconvenience.

Was the Turing test just an autistic plea for acceptance? “If I mask well enough will the normies accept me as one of them?”
Definitely Israel. Until three years ago I barely gave Israel a second thought, but the viciousness and lying of the antizionist crowd have turned me into a staunch Zionist. It’s also soured me on a lot of the socialist policies the Antizionists also support.

Vets at the Cincinnati Animal CARE shelter in Ohio built a custom wheelchair with rulers, hot wheels and tape for this kitten with a spinal injury. Kitten's name is Gelato and he is doing just fine.
Ugh. The internet is down. I had plans to get stuff done today!

Ranking Member @robertgarcia.house.gov exposes Donald Trump for what he is: a sad, pathetic, lonely man. Oversight Dems are investigating his vanity, incompetence, and corruption.
Utterly villainous stuff. The public doesn’t support this. Democrats need to go hard against it
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Trump admin's latest strategy to mass generate removal orders is diabolical: - Take a huge group of people with hearings scheduled in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. - Send them a physical letter rescheduling all of their cases to next week. - Those who inevitably miss court get ordered deported.
Why do white ppl on this site think they are so smart when they admit their Nazism indirectly or directly by repeatedly calling a nongenocide a genocide doesn’t move me You just sound as idiotic as racists claiming to be woke af &writing BLM while showing in your actions you actually don’t think BLM
