liberalism is going to require something martial and vicious and somewhat fanatic if we want it to survive. it won't be the liberalism we grew up with. it will be an uglier, harder thing for an uglier, harder world.

Nice to see international coverage of Budapest protests, but something lost in the EU/Ukraine-centric framing is the crackdown on LGBT+ expression.
Fidesz targeting Pride is no coincidence - for many years, it has de facto been Hungary's largest opposition rally.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv as Russian missiles rained down, the VDV were fighting at Hostomel, and assassins were actively hunting for him. J.D. Vance fled a ski resort because people outside had mean things to say about him. I know which man I respect more as a leader.

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

Roko's Basilisk is just Pascal's Wager for nerds who slept through philosophy class, but it sounds cool 'cause it has snakes and computers and stuff
"It is inevitable that we will invent a machine that might decide we're an existential threat and wipe us from the face of the planet, but I, alone, know how to make a machine that will only help us" is kind of just religion in reverse? Honestly.

Reddit has the structure most similar to a series of dive bars: lots of strangers come in for a drink, some become regulars, and also -- crucially -- there is a small cadre running each individual bar.
Reddit's basic building blocks are communities, and it invests a surprising amount of power in those communities to set their own terms of existence and enforce them. The people who run them tend to have more in common with ordinary community members than the people who run the website.

- "Our neighborhood doesn't talk about politics", then the woman next door told us everyone's views in detail.
