Elon Musk is a classic, if particularly dangerous, case here. The dude was literally given a costed plan for using his billions to end world hunger, and spent the money instead on buying a social media platform he could turn into his personal online open mic night for his edgelord comedy stylings.

"That statement on resigning at great personal cost on a position of deeply-held humanitarian principle was just so *cringe*" is a take just so viciously, gleefully devoid of empathy or humanity. I remain of the opinion a big part of why we're where we are is how much we're told decency is uncool.

i'm finicky about music so i don't stream & still buy everything. i spend way more time with full LPs/EPs than singles & there's a whole listening intake process to make sure it all gets a fair shake. every album gets minimum 5 listens & one is always sitting with lyrics like i did in high school.🧵
i’m cruising through some of the last records i planned to buy this year (i think i’m gonna fall short of 100 things through my weird listening process but not by much) and either i have been incredibly lucky or it’s been *such* a fucking good year for music.

not streaming is partly an "i like giving musicians money" thing & partly a "i fucking hate spotify" thing & partly a "i'm a nerd who pays more for 24/96" thing but mainly a “there are too many things & i want to be able to really chew on stuff" thing. i'd lose focus. nothing would get enough love.🧵

This is also why you can't just run an election on healthcare costs and hope they don't bring up immigration. You have to fight them on immigration because they inject this Nazi shit into everything.
The White House getting in the Christmas spirit by blaming the most vulnerable members of society for the suffering Trump is responsible for.

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.

Yes she's just outsourcing a desire for vengeance, but it occurs to me: believing God handles justice and therefore you don't have to worry about justice yourself is a convenient thing to believe when you're involved in a political movement that deliberately promotes, creates, and spreads injustice

Urbanists will talk about how cars are a machine that makes you selfish and crazy, and I know it’s easy to roll your eyes at that but if you give drivers the ability to comment they will say “yes I am selfish and crazy”

It requires no great soul-searching to condemn Chomsky for his friendship with Epstein (a friendship that started after Epstein’s 2008 conviction). It doesn’t mean Noam isn’t a great linguist & thinker — it just means he’s also a piece of shit.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.
