certain systems of social organization do genuinely tend to produce bad people among their citizen class, slave societies chief among them!

Ah, @brianbeutler.bsky.social sees the gambit too:

“I don’t think most Dem critics of the court have thought through how this approach can be used to give Trump a one-time only pass to break laws and steal spoils that will never apply, under their eventual precedents, to future administrations.”

The Supreme Court's Dastardly Plan Makes Court Reform Obligatory

If Democrats can't avoid the trap Republican justices are setting, we'll never recover from the Trump fiasco.

It's very funny that the people saying "hey kids, it's cool and good to shine lasers at aircraft flying over populated areas" today are the same people who said a couple of weeks ago that anyone who gives Indivisible their email address is getting black-bagged for sure.

the thing which makes that racist is that they'd do that to lebanon, too. or, like, jordan. or algeria.

in my opinion saudi arabia should be a bengali/filipino workers' state. i do not care much about what happens to the actual saudis

i have a, uh, complex relationship to the idea that a general disdain for the citizens of the gulf monarchies is precisely racism, mostly resulting from the disappearance of every Saudi rape suspect i ever worked with (3) from the country before charges were brought

the best anarchists are the people who are genuinely kind of saintly themselves, and just a little bit naive about the fact that the rest of humanity is fallen.

Folks, I’m hearing for the first time that there are things that exist that I don’t know about. We are looking very strongly into this because these are very bad things existing, and they do not have my consent.

The freedom of birds - have you seen this, folks, the freedom of birds? they're flying around, flying and in some cases walking and and it's a big, big problem - the freedom of birds is an insult to me. It's not very respectful, and it's not very nice, and we're going to have them all in zoos.

it is very unclear what the category 'leprosy,' which seemed very clear to the authors of the Talmud, actually entailed, so it's hard to prove that fish and meat actually causes it.

learning enough about morality to stop eating meat is an occupational hazard for philosophers
