When Republicans talk about and implement total partisan media takeover, their plans for “internet safety” also factor in. They want to concentrate online power into platforms they can control, but they’re disguising it as bipartisan efforts to keep kids safe online.

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

yeah the damage a single bad billionaire can do wildly outstrips any positive impact even a theoretically ideal billionaire can have
more, I think that the kind of person you need to be to become a billionaire tends to select for the worst outcomes in all but the rarest of cases

I think good billionaires exist. Dustin Moscovitz and Tom Steyer seem like relatively well-intentioned and decent people trying to use their money constructively. But the upsides of people like them don’t outweigh the downsides of someone like Elon Musk.

what it comes down to is this: if human rights are something you have to deserve, then anyone - including you! - can be deemed undeserving.
and once you believe that, the only thing separating you from a fascist is a little bit of haggling over the price.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.

I need adults to understand that "fairness" is not niceness. If you have behaved poorly multiple times it is *entirely fair* for people to approach you as though you will continue to.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

anyone who tunes in gets to see funny signs, joyful crowds and shit like “an enormous constitution being carried to the White House”
this is a crowd that loves America and wants it to be better

All the shitty, awful technologies are going FULL SPEED AHEAD. Meanwhile, we have new vaccine technologies that could *literally cure cancer, a thing we've been trying to do since we found out cancer was a thing* and to that, RFK just mumbles "nah" through a mouthful of roadkill. This is the worst.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t call, email, and protest. We should annoy them and waste as much of their time as possible. But the victim-blaming needs to stop. We shouldn’t have to call our representatives every day to remind them to do their jobs. It’s not our fault when they refuse.
