Mainly as a laboratory experiment. We choose such fucking terrible people again and again. Let’s see what everyone else can come up with for a couple of goes.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I don't follow UK politics very closely, but my sense is that Starmer has essentially mirrored all of Joe Biden's failures, but more quickly and with fewer institutional excuses
Starmer isn't Britain's worst ever prime minister, but he is Labour's worst ever prime minister and it's not even close

It is hard to get over that the Q-Anon folks spent years feverishly looking in pizza parlors for the cabal of rich, elite pedophiles and it turns out THERE WAS ONE, right in front of their noses, which they failed to identify and instead voted for three times in a row.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

This should be one of the requirements for opening the government. The longer the shutdown continues, the more Dems should add to the list.
Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought.
"By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

I'm convinced that at least 75% of the discourse on The Life of a Showgirl has little to do with the album itself. It's an above-average record that's neither a masterpiece nor a bomb and being leveraged by many solely as a useful proxy for folks' competing resentments with the world and each other.

Realists will go on and on about how Russia can't help but feel threatened by NATO expansion but will never consider that their theory, if applied universally, also explains why former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact states would want to join NATO.

If nothing else, it would force Trump Admin lawyers to say in court explicitly “this is a necessary part of our policy agenda” — make Trump supporters face the fact that this is what they voted for!
I think it would be helpful if DA Bragg charged a few of these assaults. If the agents think that federal law immunizes them for actions that would result in ordinary New Yorkers being charged, let them litigate it.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
