I spend entirely too much of my parental leave fantasizing about what it would be like to get even 6 months of this instead of 12 weeks

My three-year-old is tearing around the house shouting, "WATCH WHERE I'M GOIN'!" which feels like a perfect encapsulation of classic toddler narcissism

This is why @mskellymhayes.bsky.social was right when she said it’s not hypocrisy, it’s hierarchy. I can do what I want, but when you do it to me it’s illegal, because I’m above critique and above the law.
Watch them twist themselves into pretzels to justify the hypocrisy

Fascinating that CEOs feel they have "no choice" but to invest in AI because it feels inevitable that it'll impact the market but don't do the same for green technology and infrastructure despite the climate emergency having already arrived 🙃

Once you understand that a driving principle of American politics is there is no such thing as a compassionate solution that's cheap enough or a cruel solution that's too expensive, a lot of things click into place.
I think it's possible that Trump's illegal invasion of DC will really in some sense "get rid of the tents." If that happens, elite commentators will rush to praise him and attribute it to the effectiveness of cruelty, and not to the fact that they spent millions of dollars per tent cleared.

Centrists want the enthusiasm of the left w/out the message. It's insulting & treats the working class as a commodity. The reason people go out to hear Sanders & AOC is because of the message. "Better things aren't possible" just isn't an energizing slogan. Neither is "let's meet the Nazis halfway."
Why is this 'lazy'? Billionaires are looting the country right now

But what about the science that underpins good climate solutions and effective climate strategy?
