I like how full text search of every book and human thought ever was a SOLVED PROBLEM in 2001, and now dicks at search engines and my own phone – a piece of silicon faster to respond than God was ever imagined in scripture – prevent it from working, _as a retroactive infantilizing design choice_.

People think "politics" is what you say, but politics is in fact how you wield power. In that sense, driving a car is one of the most profound ways to reveal what your actual politics are.
How people drive reveals the sickness at the heart of our society: wanting power, but not responsibility.

It just needs to be way easier to lose your license and your car for reckless driving, because a few months of major societal disruption 5 years ago taught people that driving in such a way that kills others or themselves is nbd
so uhhhhh is anyone going to do anything about the epidemic of drivers just blasting through red lights these days? @timdonnelly.com investigates: nygroove.nyc/why-does-no-...

Media outlets have been using euphemistic terms like "pressure tactics." Okay, what exactly was that pressure tactic? Using food as a political weapon.

USAID is still gone, no other country has shown either the will or the ability to fill in the services whose disappearance is going to kill millions of people, and no one in the media or political class cares that we are going to kill more people than the Holocaust before this is over 👍

If the reform focuses on ICE because they're the Big Baddies in the popular mind, it'll completely miss the fact that the actual worst actor (so far) and the one with an internal culture most prone to be trumpist brownshirts is the BP

I understand this argument but I disagree: being precise about who is doing this stuff matters, especially since we will eventually have to determine what to do in the future if reform becomes possible.
I somewhat agree with you about political messaging, but that’s not what I’m trying to do.

It's fine and good to note that CBP is extra bad, but from a political messaging point of view, ICE is the way people identify the larger group and being Technically Correct is often just bad political messaging. It's ICE to the public. They're all on the same Gestapo mission.

People love to say that the use of rape as racial slur by conservatives against whole classes of people should delegitimize women’s anti-rape organizing. Very few people seem to see the racist “rapists” smear for what it is: a cynical undermining of feminism that claims to women as racial property.
trump's current extrajudicial deportations are constantly justified on the idea that they're going after rapists or domestic abusers and why even bother giving them a trial. her problem is courts taking *women making complaints for themselves* too seriously

Being nice to people is just fun. Asked young server at taco place how her day was going (fine but tired) and she asked me back. I said I managed to finish my to-do list and she unexpectedly gave me a high five! Treating people like people is always rewarding.
