I am wistful for the 'Ghosting Discourse' wherein people explained by their own adverse reaction, why it happens.

There's a cohort of Democrats, that are basically Waffle Iron Democrats in that, 100 times out 100, they will insist that they know best and can put their dick in a hot waffle iron and smoosh it and walk away without any injury, and instead garner total victory. They wouldn't do any different

The idea that what people need is more proof rather than an honest reckoning, explanation and campaign around the already out there truths we all have access to is liberal propaganda

And the goofballs are like 'why cant you just reflexively grant trust again, or just pretend to for broader appearances, or just shut up about it' and then go Jake Blues on pleading how none of it is their fault.
People in those institutions -- who often do not have the power *of* the institution -- will often protest that this isn't fair, or that people are willing to believe shit about the institution that flatly isn't true. It isn't. They do. And none of that matters, either. The trust has been lost.

I knew it, I fucking knew it, its all about whether you have domain knowledge of the absurd rules GW makes and that's the test of the game itself, domain knowledge, and these fucking dweebs think that's a sport or some shit, domain knowledge.
The premise is, I shit you not, letting your opponent know what the rules for your units are rewards unskilled play.

There is something about playing games that were severe abstractions of something vaguely real, that makes all the fucking moaning over graphic fidelity and WYSIWYG with interaction to feel like...unrespectable? Play the fucking game as it plays, imagine what you need to bridge gaps.

Timur Kacharava was stabbed to death twenty years ago today by nazis, just after sharing food at a Food Not Bombs.
I remember being intensely affected by this murder, more so than Carlo or Spit and Dan's, in part I think because I'm the same age as Timur. He missed out on the last 20 years.

Find me one Bloomberg Reporter that doesn't have fecal matter flowing through their veins.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

“Go in heavy and put some fucking work in on these guys.”
Last week, a panel explored what prompted SPD's violent response in Cal Anderson on May 24. It was somehow dumber than you can imagine.

'Go in heavy'—SPD's violent May sortie into Cal Anderson started with a balloon
Leaked details from last week's Sentinel Event Review reveal that the Seattle police response to the May 24 counterdemo was even more senseless and over-the-top than previously believed.

I dont think anyone believes Democrats would do it themselves with any power and are more likely just to abide a norm someone else set. So it has to go without Democrats choosing 'the perfect time' and balking anyway.
people are being very flip about the possible harms of getting rid of the filibuster *right now* in a way that imo undermines the core case that the Republic is in special peril. it's clearly all downside until 2027 even if you grant electoral backlash! Dems can't have a trifecta until 2029!

I find myself more furious at the Renfields than the Draculas. Not that it matters, probably wrong, etc. But the lickspittles and strivers hoping for perks and enabling these monsters, emailing jokes, suggesting with winks that there might be “opportunities”… and it works!

I swear to fucking God no elected has ADHD or Autism cause we would be blabbing this impulsively for a hoot or deliberately telling unpleasant truths that need to be told, and nada, nudding, just sitting on shit to deploy and not deploying it in any sensical fashion.
the really infuriating thing is this email drop came from a house committee which has nothing to do with the vote and these aren't the files, like they've just been sitting on this

Capital Flight is the easiest litmus test on whether one is an apologist for abuse or if they believe in the capacity to figure it out together.
