Maybe getting older and having a bunch of lived experience and neural circuits is GOOD, actually. Imagine that.
The "nearly orgasmic" part is just Freud, who I'm sure also ate a lot of sauerkraut.
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

Shameless plug since Abdul’s team hasn’t uploaded it here— posted on July 24th
One reason I’m not terribly worried about the Michigan race is this is a very easy slam dunk for Public Health expert El-Sayed to make the general election about. And if he can’t hit that? Well that’s on him.
going TERF is like the fentanyl of prejudices. you can’t just dabble in it and return to normal life, you gotta double, triple, quadruple down until you’re trying to get a hit on a podcast with isabel brown

It is in fact racist to call an Arab with views you disagree with an antisemite. I know this will be a surprise to many but unless that person is actually saying something antisemitic, the Arab is not genetically predisposed to antisemitism
This is a very good job that'll be a little hard. You're basically running point on an omnichannel comedy network for aspiring paranoiacs that will turn into a cult of its own. Apply or tell your smartest friend to apply. There's a war on for your mind and we need a John Brown.

Is this dystopian? Yes. But you have to consider that the drone will actually go in after a shooter instead of standing outside scrolling its phone
Some schools in Florida, Georgia and Colorado will be equipped with drones this year that can go through halls, smash windows and pepper-spray active shooters if teachers report a threat. The program follows a wave of high-tech campus security spending. https://wapo.st/4gVNMXn
if there’s any clear indication of elite impunity it’s the fact that the mainstream press has moved Ross Douthat toward increasingly visual formats
Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.

Using a helicopter in NYC for anything other than life-threatening emergencies should be illegal, and Amtrak’s only offering between NYC and Philly should be a 47-minute trip running at 10-minute headways, as laid out by @alonlevy.bsky.social nec.transitcosts.com/scheduling

A great example of how absurd US politics is is that Abdul El Sayed feels compelled to tell random people online to not make fun of Stevens' accent, but an actual elected official who is a Stevens supporter can say that Abdul shouldn't speak Arabic in public and Stevens won't condemn it.
"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens
