Infinite Cheese TIL
FYI it's not too late to ship your loved ones a 30 ounce sealed container of high quality canned Cougar Gold cheese straight from the University of Washington and have it arrive before Christmas. nothing says "i love you" like cheese that can be aged indefinitely

Ohhhhhh Chomsky is one of THOSE guys. That explains quite a bit!
I bet you didn't know that Chomsky was flying on Epstein's jet because he's a "free speech absolutist." And yeah maybe he was friends with a rich pedophile but, like, he also talked to Ali G.

One can imagine an argument that goes something like, the right needs to see us so they know they're still opposed.

But that purpose is not well-served by being a punching bag on a hostile, manipulated platform. Controlled opposition serves the oppressor, not the opposition.
IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.

The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

I would seriously like to understand Greg Abbott's origin story. How did he get so awful, was he bitten by a radioactive hillbilly, what happened there?
Happening now: Texas leaders announcing a rollout of a statewide program to put TPUSA chapters in high schools and colleges across the state. Gov. Abbott adds that schools that stand in the way should be reported to the Texas Education Agency.

Soft men create hard times so they can seem harder.

Violence is the dumbest, laziest solution to most of society's problems. That's why the dumbest, laziest people let violence foment instead of the hard work of pursuing peace.
2/ nor can we forget Thomas Fugate, the 22 year old Trump campaign worked appointed as the lead counter terrorism coordinator at DHS.

I don't really care about being called an interchangeable term for Americans by people who don't really matter.

However I deeply resent being exposed to cringe, twee, in-group signaling without my consent. I have an eye condition, they get strained if I roll them too hard without a warmup.
it looks like crap and immediately antagonizes a good chunk of us. if that's your goal, carry on. if that's not your goal, consider "Americans"
If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff has been outed as a Russian asset. This is traitorous stuff.
Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

I was expecting Trump appointees to be evil and incompetent, but I really wasn't prepared for them to be such dumb jackoffs.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

You have to wonder if the strikes on the "drug boats" were just a way to test which generals would follow illegal orders wrt an undeclared war with Venezuela and weed out those who wouldn't.

According to my BlueSky law degree, when a judge is "concerned", that means one of the attorneys is definitely going to be executed at dawn.
Comey hearing just ended. Govt admits 2d indictment never shown to full grand jury. Judge concerned. AUSA also admits DAG Blanche’s office told him not to disclose if previous prosecutors prepared a declination memo (saying why there was no case).
