it's probably not even worth the energy to dunk on this. but I started college the year after this guy thinks white men "hit the wall". and looking back, the only moments I felt like there were "no opportunities" for me were the moments when I was being an entitled, lazy, brat.
One problem with this take is the number of high profile white millennial men in the media...

counterpoint: nothing you post on any social media platform will in any way combat the dangerousness of the right
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.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

Arguably the worst thing about living in a city is sharing the streets with drivers from the suburbs who treat your 25 mph neighborhood like a suburban stroad!

"revealed" is such a funny choice here lol. this is public and has always been public! famously, anyone can read the discussions about source reliability and you can even join the discussions yourself! like go defend the freak show propaganda rags if you really give such a fuck about this lmfao.

I’ve heard from immigration attorneys that clients say ICE guards lay out the WRAP device (essentially a full-body straitjacket) on the tarmac as a threat — “do what we say or you’re getting the WRAP on the whole flight.”
And here’s proof, from Seattle livestream today via @lalabote.bsky.social.

Disney is the reason the American copyright system is as strict as it is. They've gone to Congress, court, even international treaty negotiations. They've spent hundreds of millions - probably billions now - on legal fees to bend copyright enforcement to their will.
