Cruel and unusual punishment. Entirely unnecessary for penological interests, rather achieving the opposite of safety, while stating a position that’s informed only by the bare desire to harm.

💯. Thoroughly agree. The terms of the settlement were incommensurate with the merits of the case.

This (via
@krhawkins.bsky.social
) is a dynamic to keep an eye on. I think some of these people don’t believe their loved ones (the “good ones”) will be in danger & will change their minds if proven wrong. I think others will close ranks and make rationalizations.

Look, the only way you're going to get more right-wing political violence is if you vocally encourage it, so that's what Republicans are doing.

The only sector Elon Musk has ever actually innovated in is Divorced Man. His mom sitting in on meetings with him? That is groundbreaking Divorced Manning.

I know nothing about South Korean politics, and I know I'm falling victim to the Dunning-Kruger effect here, and yet I'm still pretty sure I could have thrown a better coup than this.

Insanely naive, insanely sinister, or both? (I defy anyone - anyone! - to come up with real-world scenarios where laws are written with such specificity that no interpretation is ever required.)

Bluesky (i.e. you, us, our reposts), as other people have said, is doing very well at surfacing on-the-ground reporters and experts in Korean politics, for people like me who 1) know nothing 2) want to understand. Twitter used to do this and it was important. I'm glad Bluesky is doing it now.

THREAD: This Trump era will be different from the first: the class of billionaires surrounding Trump that backed his bid is much larger--and each seeks to boost their own profits. We took a quick look at some of these folks here in a story this week on A1 print Sunday

All right, I finally joined. Though, alas, someone else has already claimed the SusanSimpson account. Serves me right for procrastinating.
