Trust issues

Between this and people saying they had never seen a Totenkopf I'm becoming increasingly convinced Americans do not actually register things they see when they see them, like at all. Like they see motion and shapes but do not process at all what they're seeing as a contextual point, like a dog.

Proud of him

that's a luxury good, not a human right

can i be real here? i do not give a shit if people get rich off computer games in and of itself

the elite class becomes easier to understand when you realize they think everybody is as dumb as they are

It's literally just jangling keys, cat tv, oh god the word salad text. This is exactly how these guys perceive video games and all other media

i like when the road becomes a train and also a ladder appears, and then the train is the platform, also when the guy just jumps in the air for some reason

Stop telling people who are advocating locking in as an alternative to internalizing terror that they're "doing nothing"

Ohhhhh even *better*, it's an act of *international* sabotage! Nothing like playing Monday Morning Quarterback/LARPer for a country you don't even live in!

Nobody is telling you to not be hysterical, they're literally telling you not to assume everything is already lost. We *can* still win this. But it requires for people to not start with the assumption that everything we would *want to win* is already gone and out the door.

There is absolutely no call to "do nothing" contained within the post. Literally nobody is stopping you from doing anything? So what are you *doing*?

If one can find it, Rebecca Solnit has a great essay on this called "Despair is a Luxury."

All I can think is that some people believe that being right about a doomsday scenario earlier than everyone else will make them the winner of doomsday or something.

shit looks real bleak sometimes and I don’t want to downplay how bad it is but also we had seven million people show up to protests last weekend there are more of us than there are of them and I am simply not ready to throw in the towel

So who’s the hater and who’s the waiter?

This works for everything except Nintendo games cause Nintendo executives would rather commit seppuku than have their first-party games go on sale on a regular basis. Fire Emblem Three Houses is still 60 bucks!

nothing bad can happen. it can only good happen.

Israel actively benefits from the obscured version of annexation that it can implement, de facto but not de jure, permanent but not declared, demographic but not legalized. If it were to finally take the jump this would in a roundabout way be an improvement vis a vis the public's understanding.

But anyway, formal annexation can just as easily in the abstract be reversed as implemented. In fact formal annexation likely scares liberal Jews more than Palestinians since it would never acquire international legitimacy and would only further increase pressure to isolate Israel economically.

But also this would only be a death knell to partitionism which Palestinians have never been awfully wedded to. This is a framework that was resurrected in large part to salvage Israel's Jewish majority and to maintain its democratic identity. Even then, most partition offers don't give sovereignty.

I enjoyed this conversation with Raouf so much. He has a lot to teach us about sumud as a concept, and how the experience of the convoy and flotilla are shaping solidarity.

The more I learn about this guy the less he feels like a candidate as much as a social experiment in "how many of your previously stated principles are you willing to instantly ditch if someone promises you better healthcare"

i think it's probably a good sign that lefties are mad at liberals for defending the Platner tat and liberals are mad at lefties for defending the Platner tat. nature is healing

Seeing people of all different camps and backgrounds defend and attack Platner is genuinely awesome. Love a curveball issue like this.

From a former Eric Adams deputy press secretary (2022–23):

For a sitting US Senator to not know their job description is, while unsurprising, deeply disturbing www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

2028 hopefuls from Pete Buttigieg to Gavin Newsom are getting a brutal lesson in how much the politics around Israel have changed, writes @diplomatofnight.com.

it was clear when liberals spent all of 2024 mocking and belittling the Gaza protesters, and defending Biden/Harris’s refusal to budge

I have more or less accepted that Islamophobia will just become more, not less common among liberals and left wingers as more Muslims get elected lol

This post is at least 10x as old as Bluesky and yet so relevant.

I appreciate his suggestion that the United States Supreme Court will be unduly swayed by an ad from Ontario. Shows just how highly he regards them and their ability to decide cases.

Here's the full radio address from Reagan in 1987. He talks a little about how he needs to impose tariffs on semiconductors from Japan but it's clear he's singling them out as something that should be rarely used. The Reagan Foundation suggesting they might sue over the ad is hilarious.

Here's the Ronald Reagan ad from Canada that Trump calls "fake."

They're not just at war with the concept of America. They're at war with reality itself.

You know, I would never in a thousand years have expected "Ronald Reagan was in favor of free trade" to be a controversial statement with the Republican faithful, but here we go.
