Here’s a good world the while! Who is so gross
That cannot see this palpable device?
Yet who so bold but says he sees it not?
Bad is the world, and all will come to naught
When such ill dealing must be seen in thought.

All three living Democratic presidents have said nothing about any of this. I don’t mean just today, I mean any of it. Obama’s last two tweets are about basketball and wishing his wife happy birthday. Nothing on Renee Good who was murdered 17 days ago

'surface level concern underpinned by utter cowardice and complicity' describes a lot
Is there anything more modern-day-Labor than Richard Marles defending Australia troops against slander without mentioning the slander was committed by Donald Trump?

Still chuckling how the big advertising drive for GenAI was basically, "this will destroy your job and ruin your life, you're gonna love it"

One of the theologians I read a lot recently did a long essay on how doing a big Bonhoffer project helped him realize that MAGA evangelicals have kind of already gone through the process that made the German people see potential mass murder as sanctifying! Once you see it, it's hard to unsee
The MAGA guys on X who defend the executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti would do that with mass murder on a scale you can’t even imagine. They are beyond reason or empathy. Completely brain poisoned, tribal fiends.

i know a couple here in australia, both educated, well-off, and generally left-leaning (one an american), who said a few years ago that 'cancel culture is a serious problem', and i am avoiding a social thing tomorrow to avoid seeing them so i don't have to fight the urge to spit at them
Years from now, it'll be difficult to explain the things people in media were wailing about before all this. Sophomores writing underconsidered op-eds about cultural appropriation. Protests against demagogues on campus. YA drama. "Mobs" on Twitter. These were the threats to free society.

I feel like almost every week I hear another anecdote about how somebody almost ate a poison plant or did something really dangerous with medication as a result of an AI summary.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

I wonder if James Bennet has any new thoughts about what Tom Cotton might have meant when he urged the Trump administration to "Send in the Troops" in 2020

We've now repeatedly seen top officials immediately declare the shootings justified, lionize as heroes the agents who've executed people, brazenly lie about the victims, refuse to open investigations, and impede local attempts to investigate. The fuck is a body camera going to do?

these pair beautifully (i reduced beer's ingredients down for a 1/3 kg eye fillet and it was perfect - just keep it in the oven until it's 56C - no need for the post-marinade):

White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

Maybe a good time to re-share my thread about how a skeezy crypto company *made profit* during the massive Texas winter freeze of 2021 by first seizing a massive amount of grid capacity and then getting paid to trickle a tiny amount back to freezing, dying citizens
I really couldn't help but dig into this - and I think it's fair to say that the Economist headline *is actually correct* - and I'm going to explain why in a short thread.

weird to see a governor of a state under hostile occupation posting about resilience like it's a bad storm the community is enduring, rather than an armed attack by people with names and badges who could and should be confronted by the state.

One of the reasons it’s a problem that Democrats keep ceding ground to transphobes is that it actually just helps conservatives get more votes by not contesting any of the transphobic shit that conservatives are using as a gateway message
