M. Gessen hits the nail on the head, yet again www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/o...

I'm just a boy, standing in front of a physicist, begging him to reconsider the broad generalizations through which scientists tend to understand religion (which consequently makes scientists look naive and silly!)

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

yes

my new theory is that once you have a certain amount of money and wealth you start to go crazy and detach from reality. that number is different for everyone. for me it's $20

thankfully, "Grok, welcome to the resistance" is the sequence of words that summons the meteor

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

They adopted a posture of total submission and it bought them precisely nothing. A lesson for the Trump era www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

It’s so rad to have such a strong and united opposition party 🤡

not going to lie it’s pretty bleak that we’re having to explain to people who are supposedly democrats as to why ronald reagan was bad

Evergreen.

Boycott dates!

Reagan was such a good president that you can see his impact on nearly every measure of America's economy and livelihood ♥️ in that he destroyed everything for everyone and is in hell being tortured by demons right now

Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

lmfao so what exactly is the political position being articulated here? what is not Donald Trump and not the "far left"? when you stand for nothing, you don't get cookies for not "bending the knee"

You do not need to stop to reassess your purpose or intention to write. This is creative writing. It's like having high functioning anxiety except you're writing it down and calling it a book. Give in to the spiral.

lmao wait him running was even on the table?? the man has factory reset on camera several times, and he keeps losing fights with stairs.

Once again, Apple is crushing the sci fi adaptations game.
