I’m sorry but it’s very funny that Trump’s dementia is making him gay as hell.
There’s lot to hate here but tech guys lobbying for favorable opinions from the pope is loser shit. New WPA to makes nerds feel bad about themselves again.
It continues to be extremely odd that the group who most strongly wants the American public to believe things are going well right now is liberal technocrats 
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 3w agoThe way you show you’re an enlightened person in the US is to go on and on about medical bankruptcies and beef prices and climate collapse and gas prices and precarity and data centers and how no one will ever own a home. Everything is terrible and getting worse, it’s the one thing we all agree on.
Dems position themselves as the party that cares about people but their constant chatter about how people are stupid undercuts that claim and there’s no desire to resolve that tension 
Antifascist Militant@antifasictmilatant.bsky.social · 4w agoThe people running the Democratic party hate the voters and that's a real problem
This isn’t a societal problem we need to worry about as the number of parents keeping their kids in bad schools for ideological reasons is tiny. There are exponentially more nice liberal parents who pull their kids from ‘bad’ schools for amorphous reasons so I’ll continue to focus on that group.
Shoe@shoe.bsky.social · last mo.Not sure who needs to hear this but if your public school sucks, your obligation is to leave if you have the means.

In the ‘10s libs convinced themselves that with solid evidence they’d get good bipartisan policy passed and that never happened because most people are driven by values not data. Anyway a lot of republicans don’t care about test scores because they value obedience over learning.
Michael Caley@michaelcaley.bsky.social · last mo.the other thing I feel here is that we've really lost the plot on education policy as a core topic of national politics there's so much room for a refocus on the issue that reads as ideologically cross-cutting but that makes a serious effort to fix a society-wide problem
One of my kids is off to college in a couple of days and something I’ve been noodling on over the last year is how the children of liberal, upper class parents can end up being valueless and swayed by reactionary politics because of the extreme emphasis placed on careerism 
Jack in a 📦@tradenerd.bsky.social · 2mo agoCan confirm, and the people working for them are either paid too well or don't touch enough grass to tell them differently. Their reality only goes as far as the company shuttle bus will take them. If they have any idea How It's Going out here, they're absolutely not telling their bosses about it.

We’ve kind of memory holed how crazy the right was back in the 90s like they were just as crazy as they are now but they just didn’t have a way to proliferate it like they can with social media

This is how I feel about Silo which has terrible dialogue for what considers itself a prestige show that even the show’s many incredible actors cannot save it
libby watson@libbycwatson.com · 3mo agoodyssey was good and a great time at the movies. the dialogue was unforgivably bad. it's like a first draft where you'd just write everything that was happening and then go back to make it good, but he never bothered with the second bit
Doesn’t matter how good your policy is if you can’t get elected and implement that policy and, just as importantly, keep it implemented. Evidence based policy has been completely poisonous for dems because it made them think they didn’t need to engage in the messy, humanness of politics.
Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 3mo agoPolitics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve? Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.

My dislike for evidence based policy and technocracy is hard won since I used to be a policy researcher who did this work. Left the field in ‘18 because in was clear even then that it was a political loser so the continued peddling of the Chart Life ethos in ‘26 is amazing.
I’ve voted for every loser the dem party has put up, at every level of govt, for over two decades but I will not vote for Craig
sarah@goingonawalk.bsky.social · last yr.i will not vote her no matter what
A funny phenomenon that holds at every level of govt is that the more conservative candidate gets to be more openly unhinged than the progressive one and at the local level when two dems are competing this means the moderate one will act in a way they would otherwise condemn

We really haven’t grappled with Roe going away. There isn’t a blueprint for a world where existing rights are taken away. Technocrats can’t wrap their heads around a world where that is happening alongside abundant consumerism.
sarah@goingonawalk.bsky.social · 3mo agoPeople would rather be materially worse off in a world that is trending culturally better than be materially better off in a world that’s trending worse. That was post war promise (in fits and starts) and now it’s over and it’s not irrational for people to feel bad about it.
