Largish white dude. Not a fan of guns, forced birthers, or anti-vaxxers. Haven’t seen a sane republican since hw bush. And he kinda sucked.

I wonder if we can make some sort of "Murc's Law" filter that just hides these damn things or at least tags them.

watched the last sunset of the year on the pacific ocean horizon, went for two long beach walks, had champagne with the last friends standing at the beach house at midnight from the deck, 2025 may have been a miserable year, but we ended it in style out here

We all survived the year not one of us voted for or asked for. Here’s to 2026 and getting through it together.
Thank you to all who resist the dark, remain woke, and fight fascism. Peace, love, and all good things to you. LFG! ✌🏼 💙

Either the 6th or 7th fundraising text today. Replied stop or end to all of them which I think just triggers the next one at this point

This is a good plan
Boycotting reading anything by Megan McArdle might be tempting since nothing she writes ever makes sense, but there could be hidden costs - what if not reading her led to not reading *anyone* at the Washington Post? That would be... er.. you know what, on second thought it's a great idea.

Dump did campaign on it. Hell, they said Puerto Ricans weren't Americans. They were pretty explicit.
Trump's attempting to transform the US from a country that welcomes immigrants into a radically xenophobic nation that demonizes immigrants of color, and even their US born children. But Trump didn't campaign on this destructive/reactionary remaking of America and most Americans don't support it. 1/

Amazing how all the other industrialized nations got to universal healthcare prior to the advent of AI. Sounds unpossible, but they did it somehow.
My issue is that everyone wants legislation and assumes it will just all work. It won’t. Too many vested interests. Too much need for AI to make it all work, which will scare people and make them question it more.
If you have a written path to get from here to them. Just email it to me

it requires an absolutely staggering lack of self awareness for chatterton to complain that he has lost elite opportunities because he has anti-woke views.

If it was some nun (or maybe even the current or last pope) who had spent their life doing good works debating some similarly honorable atheist I would listen. But two narcissists jerking each other off about the existence of a sky man...no thanks.

Perhaps this is unpopular but I agree 100%
my unpopular opinion is that #adoption is not an alternative to abortion. And it is certainly not a solution to the lack of access to safe and affordable abortions. Compelling vulnerable people to relinquish their own children by ignoring their material needs is just another way to oppress them.
anyone who positions infant adoption as a poltical “safe zone” in the abortion wars is proposing to find common ground by standing on the necks of vulnerable and desperate pregnant people
