Great short thread on why trying to separate "woke" from progressive/leftist economic policy is not just dumb, it's also practically impossible
The thing I wish people like Carville et al would realize is that you cannot have ‘pure populist economic rage’ if you leave out the ‘woke’ bits. It doesn’t work like that.
It’s weird to me they don’t see this, so let’s see if we can walk it out.

the ramp-up to iraq in the early 2000s was not even very sophisticated if you researched at all. but at the least there was an actual campaign of lying to the UN and lying to the American people. feels like we're going to just lurch into another conflict...just raw? not even pretending?

My review of AI in the classroom: F-. It has no place in any learning environment. It's like letting kids use a calculator that gives them wrong answers.
Even if they get the right answer, they won't learn how to get to the right answer, and that's what learning is.

Around these parts we call it the Jamie Tartt song
If we had to hear “Baby Shark” everywhere we went for two whole months out of the year we’d throw a fit, right?
And rightfully so.
So tell me, why do we put up with it when the song is “Frosty the Snowman”?

imagine a world good and fair enough where everyone's needs are met, opportunity to get your wants is ample, and our spare time gets to be huffing our own farts about the ethics and morality of beavis and fucking butthead
instead we have to argue with half the people that good things are good

The main difference between their characters is that I would view Butthead as being morally culpable for his crimes in a way I wouldn’t for Beavis. Beavis I’m almost instantly arguing down to manslaughter, Butthead is full Murder One

i used to love debates over radiohead albums and songs
but i've re-digested their discography, and the only cogent finding i can report is that all of their songs are good and you should like everything

I will never understand people who say Weird Fishes/Arpeggi is the best Radiohead song. it’s like the 6th best song on In Rainbows! It’s fine but definitely not upper tier for me.

this infers that they think there's a "possible conflict with China" in the future, as if China hasn't already likely infiltrated our newly-unguarded-because-this-admin-is-all-morons infrastructure and copied every single bit and byte they've found
Scoop: CISA plans to embark on a hiring spree and change some workforce policies in an effort to rebuild its depleted ranks ahead of a possible conflict with China, according to a memo from its acting director that I obtained.
