It’s incredibly insulting to me as a Muslim to equate Islam with the modern political state of Saudi Arabia.
Another WaPo MENA correspondent moment
Not only is this a wildly stupid analogy but the House of Saud built a shopping mall full of Filipino slaves and European luxury brands right on top of the Masjid al-Haram. Nothing you say or do can desecrate the holy sites more than what's already been done

Russia suffered 16,130 casualties in the first week of November, marking the war's highest weekly toll, Ukraine's military said.
Averaging over 2,300 soldiers daily, the losses equate to neutralizing an entire motorized rifle regiment every 24 hours.

I keep seeing people equate Prop 42 in California and Amendment 3 in Florida with California’s Prop 13. Don’t get me wrong, 42 and 3 are very, very bad. But the comparison really undersells how cataclysmic Prop 13 was and is. Like “instant 60 percent drop in property tax revenues” level cataclysmic.

Disappointing and unfair take from Kidd. How hard has Talarico slammed Christian nationalism throughout his whole campaign? And to equate Christians voting their values with Christian nationalism is precisely the crap CN’s critics have been accused of for years.

Anyone trying to equate anti-AIPAC with being anti-Semitic is either a fool, disingenuous, or a bot. Supporting AIPAC is anti-human.

Stop pretending that "I like guns and I like hunting and fishing" equate to "I believe that we should not exploit the environment."
They're completely different things.
Southern Black people love guns, hunting and fishing and are already super Blue. And Black men already support climate protection

It's not "derangement". It's not "a state of mental disturbance and disorientation".
It's just people behaving in line with their true values, which are revealed to be undeniably shitty.
People having shitty values doesn't equate to mental disturbance. Sane people have shitty values all the time.

Truly remarkable that, once Zohran became the candidate and looked to win, Cuomo actually left the party *his father used to lead* in order to undermine the Democratic candidate. When it became clear Abdul could win, Stevens *switched parties* in order to undermine the Dem candidate. Derangement.

I equate big tech in this piece to remoras, so fun remora fact:
I had a remora try to attach to ME while I was scuba-diving a while back, and I had to ineptly shoo it away with a flipper while it desperately tried to suction-cup onto my wetsuit.
Turns out they're not very picky.

I wrote about how the midterms truly prove how much Americans hate data centers and the big tech and AI companies that fund them.
And how, like the Ancient Mariner, the US tech industry now must wear the rotting, squawking albatross of MAGA around their necks, due to their own stupid actions.
