"I had to hire lawyers I couldn't afford", famously a problem only experienced by Republican officials and not at all a problem they've contributed to or caused for others

Vertical video is such a crappy way to get informed, though. People who want to read original reporting w/o spending $200/mo on subscriptions for the fragmented indie media landscape are in a rough spot, there's gotta be a middle ground somehow. Bundles? Paying $0.50 to unlock individual articles?

Love to define a "toxic cesspit" not based on whether a platform is full of hateful Nazis engaging in exterminationist rhetoric but rather whether people are nice, to me, personally

It's unreasonable in the context of what that word has ever meant in American politics. It was controversial for Bush to claim one in 2004 and he did much better than Trump!l
Again, like you said, you don't have to care about this. If you do, get it right!

Well, sure, but someone who talks about Trump having a "mandate" (he doesn't & hasn't) does in fact seem to be concerned with the "how" of the matter, and if you're gonna be concerned with that part you might as well get it right?
If it doesn't matter, then ignore it.

(And of course the Senate is profoundly anti-democratic, the House is gerrymandered to hell, the Supreme Court is an extension of the Republican Party)

The point here is correct (you can't and shouldn't trust us) but the diagnosis is wrong (our political system makes it too easy for a minority of voters to give the wrong person too much power). Trump has never won a majority!

You guys have turned me into a sicko, I hope you're proud of yourselves (I haven't even built any stations yet, I'm working on getting ally status with as many factions as possible)

We can no longer look away from The Chart if we are to defeat the batshit billionaire rationalist sex cult running the American AI industry.

Great video as always, but one thing you mentioned only briefly that could really benefit from a deeper dive is the ways in which American chattel slavery was significantly different and worse than the prisoner-of-war systems African slaves were taken from. Those differences are all our fault!

"Learning their lesson" would imply some level of consequences Carr and the FCC have had to face, that should inspire him to change his behavior.

The implication of what he's saying here is quite clear: Democrats who support Israel don't actually believe in human rights, they're lying, they're pretending, or at best they have a blind spot. Incredible bad faith for Chait to run with this like he did

Taking me back to when the right would say climate change science was just paid propaganda (funding source: ???), some kind of scam to keep professors in business, as if the several-trillion-dollar oil industry had no part in it.
Likewise, I guess all the AI discourse money is in...AI safety?!? OK!

Does the majority actually miss this objective? Or are the six conservatives totally on board with it and down with pretending this is all about procedural technicalities to help the government achieve this objective?
