My unpopular opinion is that our insane suicidal fetishization of "free speech" even in the face of living through the past 50 years, without even minimally reasonable constraints, is going to be the death of the country.

That was Tim Walz, a guy who fwiw I still think would have beaten Trump if he had been at the top of the ticket.

I really don't think it's great for our society that we place such high value on degrees from a few select universities with a small number of slots. The final decisions will basically always be determined by a borderline random process and leave perfectly qualified applicants out.

also you kind of definitionally can't be a doormat for someone who. isn't talking to you.

i also notice none of these moms discuss why their kids don't talk to them 👀👀

Maybe our society shouldn't promote and encourage sociopathy, and then reward and elevate those most willing to do sociopathic shit?

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

Typical Bluesky Jamellism, criticizing Nate Silver both for being wrong and for having bad reasons for it.

I think this lady sounds great, but... isn't a college teacher called a professor?

It should say "powerful moron tries to pardon a person he can't pardon because of how stupid he is."

"But if you won't let us build data centers we can't keep shoving this new tech nobody wants down everyone's throats"

Too busy imagining being such a moral coward someone as rich and privileged as this jagoff would have to be to choose to embarrass himself like this even though he could simply resign (or use his position to call attention to the ridiculousness of the propaganda he's been instructed to spread).

Hoping Dems have the sense to run ads across the country that simply run video from 1/6, pausing and highlighting pardoned rioters with a voiceover saying "Trump pardoned this guy."
It's receded as an issue, but most of even the low-info morons who decide our elections do not support the rioters.

It's not that Marshall isn't smart.
He's just a liar, like everyonen else in the administration. The reason he's going on television is to tell the lies he was hired to tell and is paid to tell.

Wild to think that this guy ruined so much, and harmed so many, in just a couple of months because he's basically a drug-addled dilettante with functionally unlimited personal resources and a god complex who was bored and getting into politics seemed like an interesting diversion.
A passing fancy.

I think there's a decent argument to be made that when someone deserves to be impeached, they should be impeached.

If Bluesky didn't have a character limit, I'd just post the entire text of Between The World And Me here.
