Politics giving real ‘old man lost his horse’ vibes today. Democratic gerontocrats once again cucking themselves before an easily defeated opponent. Which lights the fire that brings in the fighting spirit that will defeat MAGA. Which platforms disastrously bad left wing populist ideas. Who can say🤷

This PMCism extends to govt — the exception being our current demagogue, and another exception for normal leaders acting swiftly in response to crisis (fires, bridge collapse)
I don't know what the answer is, but the past tells us what is possible. If only we would learn from it and do better

So Indian hate has been “normalized” again. And I've been on the internet since forever so I know how it used to be. But after the woke years I kinda forgot what it felt like. Ran across this random blog post from 2010 and the casual, over-the-top racism made me lol

Say what you will about the ‘backwards’ Middle Ages but the role of regent is a far better model for modern parenting than the 20th century norms of obedience and patriarchy

One of these is a colossal waste of human talent. The other is psychologically traumatizing. I don't know which is worse by utilitarian measures but I do know that I have no interest in finding out how much psychic damage I can take

I don't take Bannon's third term stuff that seriously—but like, it's over 1% likely they'll try, right?
It's remarkable that the likely conduit for that strategy doesn't even appear on this long list of candidates

Abundance alone is a losing agenda. It doesn't throw a bone to the populists. But what then? Jobs are plentiful. Free healthcare is financially ruinous. Education already over subsidized.
If only there was some redistributive program that addressed the #1 issue with perceived income inequality 🤔
