Saying this now, just in case - - New Yorkers hated Giuliani on 9/10, couldn't wait to get rid of him - Giuliani was in the street on 9/11 bc the Command Center at 7WTC was destroyed (he put it there to be near Judi Nathan) - Giuliani killed 343 firemen by forcing cheap radios on them

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

Trump is not capable of making sound decisions on behalf of the United States. The media should cover his unfitness for office nonstop, while Congress must move swiftly to relieve him of his responsibilities. Anything less demonstrates a fundamental unserious attitude toward governing a superpower.

The reason Moby Dick is the most American novel ever written is because it is about a violent white man enacting a confusing revenge fantasy against a cheap source of oil.

In a very real way, the President of the United States should be held to the highest standard of conduct in the whole country. Somehow, he’s held to a lower (nonexistent) standard of conduct than literally everyone else. It’s unfathomable.

I don't really think your opinion on Harry Potter has any intrinsic moral valence, but c'mon, you should really not be giving Rowling money or attention if you care at all about trans rights, y'know? She's not an author with bad opinions, she's a full-time political activist who used to write books.

Insta-blocking anyone who speaks positively about this show. Rowling is a bigot who is actively campaigning to make trans lives worse so if you watch this show I will assume you are a transphobe, end of.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Rich alludes here to the wisdom of the judges at the Nuremburg trial: “To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

Here’s the thing: a President openly contemptuous of Congress & willing, unilaterally, to recklessly and illegally commit the US to wars of aggression is an existential threat to the Republic, *regardless* of whether he can ultimately explain his acts to Congress. The demand must be impeachment.

An industry boom that decimated the creative potential of the medium by making every mf a D&D designer. Also, he didn't "kill" past tense: continues to kill. I cannot market my game because 98% of the outreach channels I should reach won't cover a game that ain't about killing people in a dungeon.

I'm all in favor of celebrating (eventually) but not like this. Local organizing efforts were grassroots and localized and tailored to specific communities, and biz leaders don't get to just swoop in and slap their sponsorship logos on the hard work *they didn't do* We'll plan our own parties

Gee, Universal Basic Income recoups more than it costs AND the recipients are happier and healthier. Hmmm. Where have I seen those results before? Oh yes, in every other goddam pilot study of UBI for more than a decade. Ireland joins Finland in at least making a start.
