abolish ice is the moderate position to be honest. whichever candidate promises to nuremberg the ice agents has my vote at this point

Every so often I think about how Minnesota holds, continues to hold, and will never return the 28th Virginia Batte Flag as a spoil of war, won righteously against the slaver-oligarchs and their willing goons in battle at Gettysburg. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

I wonder which hospital. I’m sure people would love to organize a vigil

We gave stupid, belligerent children whose only mode of interacting with the world is oppositional defiant disorder control over the most powerful military machine in world history.

trump did january 6th. republicans did january 6th. violent traitors did january 6th. they stormed the capitol, destroyed the building and threatened to kill members of congress. ashli babbitt was a violent insurrectionist. the capitol police protected people. these are truths we need to repeat.

This thread applies to far more than just gaming. If you have a public-facing facility and aren't asking people who display antisocial behaviors to leave, pretty soon all you are going to have are the antisocial customers.

I think about this a lot. it feels like we are laying up tinder for some kind of conflagration later

Given the amount of time a certain politician spends in group chats with minors, the Paul Pelosi conspiracy theories can be reused pretty easily here

Not a great couple of days on here

i love and agree with you all, but being unable to tell the difference between "rein in" and "reign in" is part of how we got here

I should probably go back to shutting up, but compromising your principles in order to seem fair and balanced to our idiot electorate can have unpredictable effects. Imagine if Hillary hadn’t voted for Iraq, for example, or if the Times hadn’t wanted to bank RW support ahead of her presidency…

"but Rs will vote against it so we can't even say it" seems to be the line. What this misses is you can't denounce and campaign against them for refusing to do something you won't even advocate. And it sounds pathetic to vaguely insist something must be done with zero about *what* should be done.

the thing that really offends me is there's a level on which he's won. not that he'll get a thousand-year reich, but he has made it so that American politics is entirely about Donald Trump. that's what the country is now. Donald Trump. we live in his brain

One deleted post, on a writer's detention: "Many of my former colleagues have left journalism, while some have simply disappeared … How many people are willing to risk being accused of ‘picking quarrels and provoking trouble’ and having to deal with the anxiety of having no status or protections?"

He really put a "but I'm different" in his eulogy. What a mind.

Mods are asleep, post Whoopi Goldberg as an old white businessman in The Associate (1996).

man, we lost on this, but i think it still fucking matters, you don’t lose until you’re dead and we are gonna fucking outlive trump, THEY DO NOT BREAK US, THEY BREAK UPON US

you’re missing the point: you, yes, you, reading this right now, can march up the steps and kick the fucking door in if you’re willing to do the work. you can be “local democratic operations”.

Part of stuffing the press pool with cranks is they get to ask "will you do [crazy thing]?" and he'll give some version of "maybe yes" even if he's never thought of it before. Sometimes it then becomes real policy. They're not reporters there to influence the public, they're there to influence him.

I will not support a primary challenge against Chuck Tingle.

when i worked the overnight shift the only other person there played adult contemporary on a radio all night. i heard the huey lewis/gwyneth version of "cruisin" several times a night and it ruined the song for me. this fixed it music.apple.com/us/album/cru...

what Pizzaro encountered in the Inca Empire was like if a visitor ran into Lord Humungus and concluded that this was what Australian society before Mad Max was actually like.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

really good articulation. I’ve been spending time recently playing the Sims with a bunch of mods in order to experiment with surfacing these machine-reasons: I don’t want the weird little guys’ behavior to be more understandable, but I want to make it more *observable*, & that’s been very satisfying
