why isn’t anyone talking about the surprisingly good chili at the storm king arts center

if you ask the average American to describe what they think a tougher immigration system should look like, they will describe something a degree of magnitude softer and more generous than the current reality. The lesson here is that people are both better and dumber than they appear.

Über Charlie Kirk, politische Gewalt und Fragen, von denen ich nie dachte, dass ich sie mir mal stellen würde. Neuer Text @woz.ch:

me and the boys when It Happens

Der Todeskult selig vereint im Zynismus, das wie Humor aussieht, aber abgrundtiefe Menschenfeindlichkeit bleibt. Es geht um Serien-Exekutionen auf dem Meer, ohne Gerichtsverfahren whatever, und der VP faselt etwas über Angelausflüge. Eine nihilistische Singularität der Menschenfeindlichkeit.

We rightfully talk a lot about how contemptuous right-wing figures are of their audience, but this is also contempt.

SO sorry about the treatment your specialists and engineers received at the hands of our secret police goon squad. That's normally something we reserve for a different race of people who we like even less, hope you understand. Please come back

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

one of many fascinating illustrations today of how what happens Online is the most important thing to so many of our political actors, even 9/11 upstaged

And this should go without saying, but I guess it doesn't: You can and should deplore political violence, which is both unacceptable on its own AND because it makes us all less safe, but it does not mean that you airbrush a legacy of malice and darkness as a "spirited disagreement." Tell the truth.

Admitting that Charlie Kirk was a bad person who made our politics worse and endangered the lives of marginalized people is not the same as condoning his murder. I don't get why he's getting such hagiographic treatment. He was a piece of shit.

Basically every European country has a far right party in parliament now with a platform that reads like the Breivik manifesto. 'Cultural Marxism' and Great Replacement conspiracy theories are pretty standard right-of-center rhetoric now. It's bad!

as it makes its way over here from what i understand to be on twitter, reminder that you can stop videos from autoplaying on your feed: settings > content and media > uncheck "autoplay videos and gifs"

her boss should know better but then again not surprised bari if wasn’t paying attention in CC

dudes rock

Demsas is younger than me by a few years, sure, but this born-yesterday act is inexcusable for anybody who’s been conscious the last couple of decades. I’m sorry but this is dumb, before you even get to institutionalizing discrimination like this being horrific, cowardly, and cruel.

Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless

I think they should try persuading the public that immigration is good, instead of agreeing that it's bad. The idea the "will of the public," especially on immigration, is entirely organic and not elite driven is bogus.

there’s this one corner of the yuppie biergarten in the park by my house where you can sit on beach chairs and hear two train lines go by overhead, feel one going by underground and what more does one need

me and the boys when It Happens

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Das bemerkenswerte hier ist, dass die Verschiebung eben nicht 2015 passiert sondern 2017. Genau dann wenn Politik und Medien anfangen sich auf die aufsteigende AfD und ihre Themen einzuschießen. Wenn Migrationspolitik verschärft wird und Migranten dämonisiert werden. Es ist nicht Migration an sich.

we all need to get used to saying “fuck you, make me” as much as we can

honestly could be a real vibe

put dasha in every movie just to tell you about an obscure cosmetic surgery

“Jimenez Rosa, a legal permanent resident and mother of four U.S. citizens, was detained over what her lawyer believes was a decades-old, personal-use marijuana charge, which is no longer a crime in Massachusetts today… “I was just like, ‘Girls, we might never see your mother again in this country’”

WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT OF MY COUNTRY HELLBENT ON TORTURING THIS MAN

As someone who has stopped using Twitter ~3 years ago, after having been on it daily for the prior 16 years, it is *so* clear how much the current hateful and extreme state of the platform warps the views of its users, and NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I see the effect so much working in tech.

Migration is fundamentally good, and it's the job of governments to build institutions that allow people from wildly different backgrounds to live together in harmony and prosperity, not cater to xenophobic fear-mongering among people who have no idea what they're talking about

The homeless are painful to look at because they remind us of how unfair our world is, of how much suffering it contains, of how arbitrary and undeserved and precarious our own comforts and health are, of how we have failed to be sufficiently generous and merciful to others.
