the constitution has many flaws but addressing our current circumstances is not among them; the framers were in fact quite concerned about this kind of thing and were clear that it should not happen here what they did not and could not guard against is the people in charge ignoring their plain text

The right has owned the frame game for so long and they have bitched about the media the whole time and amazingly, they still do. They don't just work the refs, they threaten the refs.

The reason that markets and other countries can't trust us is Trump v. United States. If you want peace and prosperity then you need court reform.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

The center: no he won’t. The right: he will and that’s good. The left: this is no different from what every president has done That’s why the message didn’t hit.

You never see these freaks happy. There is a sort of libidinal joy they perform, mostly for each other, but it comes only from of the immiseration of their enemies. No victory brings relief, just a temporary reprieve of grievance. I do not believe the machinery which drives us and them are the same.

The surprise invasion of Venezuela isn't imperial expansion driven by the dictates of capitalism; it is somehow even sicker. The Trump administration is behaving like gambling addicts chasing clout in an attention economy. Venezuela is a fucking meme stock.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

All in all, I hope the lesson these guys learn isn’t “Both parties are the same and all politicians are liars” but “I fell for an obvious liar and should reflect on why this particular liar seemed so believable to me”

Good article, but I think we could add that many of the current government officials & influencers spreading political point-scoring falsehoods during crisis events HAVE BECOME gov officials & influencers BECAUSE of their bullshit-spreading talents. System effects of rotten attention dynamics.

Ideally yes. The problem with that is that regular people end up siding with the unqualified podcasters over the boring competent nerds because the podcasters are the ones in their ears everyday

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.

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”
