Exactly, very hard agree. Whenever I see the smug "this isn't our grandparents movement" Takes it's like... my grandfather's generation did *decolonisation*. I bloody wish we were that level ambitious and accomplished!
"We are not our ancestors" is not gonna yet us through this moment. You better wish you were your ancestors who survived the middle passage, chattel slavery, who consistently revolted, who made ways as maroons. We definitely need to connect with Black legacies of survival for now.

I think you could be forgiven for naively thinking that eugenics beliefs and being a paedophile are unrelated so be surprised that one chap had both vices. But I do think there is some inner link due to a shared preference for natural hierarchy. "It should be enforced, and when enforced exploited."

Won't remember any of this.

When Covid caused NYC offices to hollow out what they found was that yeah the core business districts suffered but the neighborhoods where people actually live, thrived.
All WFH means is rethinking business districts, not cities.

if you cant go in to the office 3 days a week then you really can't complain when cities are hollowed out. cities are places where ppl work and network. getting rid of that makes cities useless
And it's usually something like "but that's not what the literal DNC does!" as if I don't know, as someone who has worked on Dem campaigns, sometimes in conjunction with the DNC what they do. So I'm going to be very specific here: this is the DNC being shitty: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Also, dishwashers run much hotter than we can generally handwash so if you run a load and there's a little bit of something something atfer a load stuck to a plate just scrape it off - it's clean.

That if is infuriating all by itself. “Fiercely accountable” man what does that even mean at all
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

What an absolutely wild interpretation of the establishment clause. I’m trying to imagine how even Alito could pretzel himself into agreeing with this and I absolutely cannot.

How on earth could something as complicated and artificial as IQ not require hundreds, thousands of SNPs to even make a dent? (And that’s assuming you think the intelligence-measuring exercise is worth anything in the first place, which, aside from diagnosing disability, it mostly isn’t)

to phrase it like this is absolutely FUBAR, though the gist is right
"A democratic brand"
fuck me.
And yet what other word is appropriate, Democrats absolutely are a brand rather than anything virtuous or principled.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"
