When people tell me that US hostility toward research will drive people into China's arms, I tell them that China (in 2026) is a country that deeply fears talent and knowledge.

I spent six months watching half this website explain away a Nazi tattoo a dude wore for 20 years as no big deal, and now (largely) that same group of people is saying one interview answer's worth of weasel words is absolutely and permanently disqualifying in a candidate.

crypto, car dealerships and MLMs. ripe targets for political and policy reasons.
Democrats should be targeting crypto, as a Republican constituency, with the same zeal that Republicans targeted universities for being liberal-coded.
But they won’t, because it might jeopardize the crumbs that industry throws their way.

Let’s be honest: the people upset over what Talarico said are upset because Talarico said it. If Platner or Bernie or El-Sayed said the same thing, there would be no objection.

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

They are so close to getting it: Democrats didn’t lead to Trump — Democrats not using their power to dismantle Republican power and money led to Trump.

either your relative thinks you're a gullible idiot or they are themselves a gullible idiot, as like fifteen minutes walking the streets of Beijing and seeing the homeless people would make clear.
In China if someone is homeless, the government finds them an apartment at $300 a month, then finds them a job at $600 a month to pay for it.
My relative in Beijing told me this.

This is why talk of Democratic messaging is pointless. The media is completely rigged against Democrats.
The richest man owns X.
The second and fourth richest men control Google.
The third richest man owns The Washington Post.
The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
