Only a matter of time until a UC Berkeley law professor writes a memo justifying torture, a brave Vanity Fair writer gets tortured to say whether it hurts, and we have a national discussion about whether certain people should be tortured for our safety.

DHS just shared this video to X with the caption "This Christmas, our hearts grow as our illegal population shrinks."
The video is set to a version of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and has text that reads "Christmas after mass deportations." The end reads "Mirthnuke."
Evil shit.

Something something standards and discipline
Both the Army and Navy incorrectly classified recruits who received low marks on military entry exams, giving both services more underachieving enlistees than Congress allows, the DOD’s inspector general said.

What's an example of the right becoming less dangerous due to someone posting on Twitter/X?
What's something bad they were doing that they did less after seeing critical posts? Or something bad that would've happened but was avoided by persuasive posting?
I can't think of any, even hypothetically.

IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

The truth they don't tell you about institutional love affairs: the breakup is always one-sided.
I gave everything. They gave me purpose, identity, a place in the world, until they didn't.
Until the family I bled for decided the genetic markers in my blood meant more than the blood itself.

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.
