3. The green left shits on & works to destroy anything that emerges from the political process. They shit all over Waxman-Markey, making it difficult to rally Ds. They shit all over IRA. They're shitting all over the permitting bill. They'll shit all over whatever the next D admin develops in 2029.

We taught a chimpanzee to understand the median voter's politics and he hanged himself, but he was successfully resuscitated and he's joining us live after the break.
The Miami Dolphins are now good and that is bad for the Miami Dolphins because it won’t allow them to become good
Sex. And relationships are difficult to leave, and that gets even harder the longer they go
Joe Ickowski@joeick.bsky.social · 2w agoI deeply don't understand how that works. I knock on so many doors of people in mixed political marriages and it's just unimaginable to me
imprison all of the pardoned people illegally and pardon the people who jail them, you gotta hit them with the reverse calvinball
They should make a database of everyone who gets mad at a post like this and permanently strip them of their driver’s license

One would be good and the other would be bad because one cause is good and the other is bad. We are not in the realm of procedural justice concerns anymore, liberalism is not obligated to be neutral on the question of its own existence.
Mike Masnick@masnick.com · 3w agoPeople demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...
Here are three ways you can help as a consumer: 1. Eat less meat, especially beef/lamb. 2. Waste less food, especially beef/lamb. 3. Eat even less beef/lamb. Don't feed them to your pets either.
Important to note that a case as prominent as this would take years to wend its way through the courts, meaning any final decision (or possibly even any initial merits decision) wouldn’t occur until years after Trump left office. So in the interim it’s primarily a harassment/intimidation tactic.
an equilibrium where ~everyone can direct ~♾️ compute to do ~anything is a world where anything to do with networked computers with any aspect of scarcity or adversariality basically doesn't work. it also has perilous consequences for anything relying on authentication or human-centered engagement.
Shit be expensive but America is not poor and we can afford to have nice things
dame@dame.is · last mo.i challenge you to post one optimistic take or belief today on bluesky this needn’t be toxic positivity, just good ol’ run of the mill optimism/hope in the face of a torrential downpour of doom
People are going to clown on this but we need to remember that planning for local context is important: a city with Los Angeles, California’s semi-arid Mediterranean climate only gets sunshine ~300 days a year; so it’s important to make sure you can never ever find shade in the middle of the day.
Kirsten Bladh@kerstanley.bsky.social · last mo.Why can't LA build more affordable housing? Well, you see, because a building located in an R5(CW) zone shall not cast a shadow on a lot located in the R4 or R5 zone for more than two hours each day between the hours of 9AM and 3PM on the Winter Solstice and 9AM and 5PM on the Summer Solstice.
i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.
"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid." Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!
Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · 2mo ago"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
trump being like "i prefer to think of AI as 'superior intelligence' is the best proof yet that he's totally lost whatever political instincts he had
The baseline level of Dumb Guy Pretending To Be Even Dumber in our culture is incredibly high at the moment, but this is an all-time performance in that category. Hall of Fame work in any era.

I understand that you have tons of people screaming that if they just repeat that the elites are bad and the rich are taking from the poor that the conservative rurals are just going to eventually wake up and realize they want socialism, but that isn't actually a thing that will happen
I think it's more comforting for some people to think of OBL as some evil genius or tragic victim of imperialism rather than a bog standard delusional ideologically extremist billionaire failson who thought he could accellerationism his way to a theocratic utopia
If you tell me this is necessary to win in Texas you are wrong. It alienates supporters who become less likely to talk positively to friends and family about your campaign, even if they still hold their nose and vote for you.
democrats, literally the only thing you should be talking about for the next 3 days is donald trump lying about being a 9/11 hero. i dont care if the question is about the economy or gas prices or about how sexually attractive you are, you steer that answer to trump lying about being a 9/11 hero
America is a rich country that can afford to have a good welfare state.
do any of you know what words mean or do you think "backfire" is when the expected and intended result occurs?
the Male-Grievance Grift-o Sphere going after popular stuff might seem like a tactical error at first but it's designed to put vulnerable/stupid men into a siege mentality by making it seem like all of pop culture is out to get them. it's an attempt to isolate

Again by analogizing it to seatbelts you are *not engaging* with the actual substance of the argument which centers around: A) helmet mandates provably deter cycling B) safety in numbers provably makes cycling safer therefore helmet mandates make cycling more dangerous bsky.app/profile/conn...
Connor Lynch@connorlynch.bsky.social · 3mo agothis seems like one of those ones where the anti-helmet case is just straightforwardly wrong. Might as well be “don’t wear your helmet, that way you’ll be thrown clear to safety in an accident”
I find the discourse around "wokeness" to be dishonest and tedious, but this is what I wrote about it a couple of years ago and I think it remains correct: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
