"don't listen to those nasty liberals who tell you you owe the civic fabric of democracy anything" - complete losers and cowards

I mean, yes, it is quite simple.
Lifestyle hygiene is self-centered. Moral issues require a perspective that is other-centered.

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Any time you think Donald Trump can’t go any lower, he somehow pulls it off.
Cue Speaker Johnson and other Washington Republicans saying they know nothing about this, haven’t seen it, etc.
They should be ashamed.

The racist post shared by President Trump depicting President Obama and First Lady Obama as monkeys is vile and indefensible.
Dehumanizing Black Americans is racist, rooted in hatred, and has no place in our politics.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
Xfinity has just released its Jurassic Park-themed Super Bowl ad that features a digitally de-aged Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. https://bit.ly/4rmRhrK

how do you have a world-class shipbuilding industry? turns out the answer is "pay for it."
Korean, Japanese, and Chinese yards have is that they are all supported by their home governments to the tune of billions annually. You’ll also need to rebuild the industrial support those yards need (steel doesn’t exactly grow on trees), so add a zero or two to your industrial price tag.

Truly there has been no more avaricious and rapacious class than the Boomer homeowner. Pulling the ladder up behind them, and then keeping the ladder up there long enough so that they can give all their ill-gotten lucre to the long-term care industry
Well I'm a homeowner and I say send the price through the floor!

This is honestly more-or-less how Saint Augustine begins CITY OF GOD.
It's 410 CE, and I'm your podcast host, Rossus Douthaticus. I'm here with Alaric the Visigoth, who recently sacked the Eternal City.
Alaric, why do you think people have lost faith in Rome? Is it a crisis of liberalism? Is it because of the feminization of the workplace?
