anti trans hate, like all bigotry, is a moral error first, and only afterwards an intellectual error.
it's people deciding that others are lesser or broken or evil, and then doing a ton of reading to convince themselves that it's okay to be hateful.

Thread.
The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

Also an acceptable option.
I look forward to this psychopath getting sentenced for war crimes. But he seems like the kind of guy who would rather kill himself than face the consequences of his actions.

Hegseth needs to be in jail for the rest of his life, and that’s the moderate option.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

I love how people are shocked trump is treating Zohran Mamdani like a human being. Trump respects someone who commands ratings and Zohran got the vote ergo his ratings were good.
Compare this to Andrew Cuomo who is a loser piece of shit and also has bad ratings. That helps explain what’s happening

Why is it not surprising that this is a Brookings Institute econ professor making this statement.
The plow, the steam engine, electricity — all replaced muscle. AI replaces cognition. If you spend your day “reading lots of stuff and turning it into straight English,” well… so does the machine. The goal now is to learn from history and cushion the blow better than last time.
