liberals often get baited into being overly fair:
Q: what if clinton's in the files?
A: then fuck him
& that's not wrong, but note how the conversation has now changed from trump being a pedo, to IF a dem is

I’m naive, I’m a sucker, I’m all those things, but I really don’t think Bill Clinton is a childfucker
Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

Just an idea I’ve had, if you don’t want to be called far right, probably best you don’t go to a rally led by a far right thug, shout racist abuse and believe far right crap

I think this is a really important thread, particularly today. Right wing outlets are using this tragic murder to demonise liberals, twisting reality in real time. Again the media are complicit in not challenging this, and reflecting the truth
that "Both Sides" way of thinking - whose otherworldliness is matched only by its condescension - has been one of the principle barriers to us meeting the challenges of our age

Correct. Our media, which is either neutered or more interested in entertainment and clicks, has a lot to answer for in allowing the active promotion of 'its fine to be racist' to become mainstream without any challenge.

Here's Gary Stevenson calling for a return to the 1970s, when the top rate of tax was 98%. But did the rich ever pay it?
We spoke to 1970s tax dodgers and ex-HMRC staff & and crunched the data.
A 🧵, but here's a spoiler: the rich pay more tax *now*.

Why does it seem to be so hard for politicians to talk about benefits and trade offs? Constantly pandering to the lowest common denominator and assuming the electorate is too stupid to understand logical arguments.

After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health. My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology.

Our collective tax bill is at its highest share of GDP since the 1940s

There is virtually no better commercial you can run for the European defense industry than these two sentences uttered by Trump.
No matter with whom I’m talking about this on this side of the pond, the common understanding is that this is going to severely damage the US industry.
