this is why we need a woke nu-atheism because the appropriate response to this should be "god isnt real you dumb b*tch. there is no magical sky daddy you can appeal to to justify your retrograde ideology. facts and logic dont care about your bigoted feelings"

In the same way that Trump 2 is rule by Fox News and Breitbart, Starmerism is rule by the British media. The primary difference between the two is that the latter has obnoxious pretensions to respectability.

Bong Joon Ho says a good thing about AI is it has ‘the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do’
He then joked that he’s ‘going to organize a military squad where their mission is to destroy AI all over the world’

Zohran, being an intelligent social democrat, understands that there's a difference between good regulation and bad regulation.
Honestly it's funny that he is *quite literally* saying "deregulate and reduce the burden of taxation on business to create jobs" and nobody on the left will criticise him. Good.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
Some changes that they can look forward to:

Honestly to improve people’s lives in American cities you will have to piss off: merchant associations, some labor unions, neighborhood associations and some liberal nonprofits.
If you’re unwilling to piss all of these people off at different junctures you’re not fit for public office imo

one reason "great power competition" is a bad description of the emerging order is that an interlinked global kleptocracy does not care about national interests or rivalries
Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments.

this is why the jump from creationism to atheism is so easy and common
like even though i was raised "christian" i have arguably never been religious because of how deracinated and commercialized my white evangelical upbringing was

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

Trump's base is worthy of much worse than contempt.
So one of my political sins that I know I should get over is that I do have the problem of holding Trump's base in contempt and looking down on them, and part of it is that my image of who they are is heavily informed by the one MAGA guy who shows up regularly on my FB feed; I'll call him J.

The reason people don't like conservative students is that whenever they're inconvenienced or annoyed they throw a tantrum and call in national media to terrorize their peers.

These people do as they do because they enjoy defilement. They select the most viscerally abhorrent statements and stances because they enjoy our distress and find power in usurping and defiling symbols and figures that are higher and nobler than anything they could produce.

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.
