i am also struck by how rapidly these discussions move away from the material details of ordinary human bodies and into something more like debates about idealized and abstract Male Form vs. Female Form, which are supposed to reside somewhere in plato's realm of ideas

it's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't

Fascinating interview with Robert Kagan, where he says that the biggest mistake of the Iraq war was that it permanently crippled the American public's conceptualization of their country's role in the world, and then admits that America is exceedingly Islamophobic and this informs foreign policy.

Robert Kagan: Sometimes US intervention is worth blowback

In a wide-ranging interview with RS, the hawkish historian talks primacy, neoconservatives, and why he opposes the war in Iran

only sorta, but these people don’t want to talk about how the unofficial but official policy for the united states for like six months was covid is only killing black people and that’s Good, bc their core idea is the response to covid was needlessly alarmist and its hard not to see that as racist

The problem with What Should We Have Done About COVID discourse is that it’s all Monday morning quarterbacking with the much better information we have now compared to then, and is about what we should have done now that we know instead of how we should have acted with imperfect information then

I think ultimately this is just going to end up being ran by a skeleton crew and cutting monthly checks to residents. It will probably be way worse for the local economy but

First, and most importantly, anti-data center folks refuse to believe data center developers and tech companies engage in good faith. They have staked out a purely reactionary position. Negotiation is useless. Just reject everything by default. They're playing this as Always Defect.

I find it frustrating, personally, when anti-data center organizers say that the job creation is a myth. Because I think that 500 six-figure jobs, for folks who go through apprenticeships but maybe don’t need college degrees, that last two to six years — that’s enough time to build a family, that’s enough time to buy a home. I think it’s supermeaningful. And when I talk to technicians, when I talk to workers, clearly it was extremely meaningful work. One of the things that was the most surprising to me, when I talked to data center activists, was that they responded to so many of the pro arguments with: I don’t believe them. So this company says that they are going to treat the water with chemicals in it so that it doesn’t flow into the lakes. People would say: I don’t believe them. I don’t think they can do it.

I'm a Ukrainian-American living in Kyiv and I literally got bombed a few hours ago and my city is still on fire and dozens are dead. This happens every week or so just in Kyiv. It's worse in other places. I sure as fuck am entitled to push the United States into helping Ukraine defend itself.
