I honestly think they’re doing this because they watched the left blame everything on white supremacy for a decade.

Call me a cynic, but I think the male desire to be needed rather than just merely wanted is never going away.

read the damn essay. it covers everything here and more: why rightwingers are so nuts about birthrates, what the actual truth about them is, the scope and meaning of the patriarchal bargain, and what classic movies like THE BIG SLEEP teach us about today

one of the things we are going to regret most about the last decade is not making cryptocurrency flat illegal. i think you should think hard about what it means to have much of the president's inner circle heavily invested in an asset class which depends on the collapse of the American economy.

The new right keeps worrying about this, but I feel like any digital superintelligence would be so far beyond puny human concepts like “woke.”
I feel like it would simply exist far above all our small human binaries.
In the same way that nature itself has to encompass all opposites.

People don’t even really want a new paradigm.
They want new energy. New vibes behind U.S. foreign policy.
Which…sure why not? But this piece just doesn’t grasp where we are right now.

if you like, you might say you can measure the exhaustion of an ideology by the gap between its professed ends and its proposed means. by that measure this essay truly represents a spent worldview.

Simple from here:
-Canada becomes 51st state
-Americans too lazy to subdivide provinces into new states
-Canada becomes the most important state in the electoral college
-Everyone rushes to appease Canadians during elections
-Defacto Canadian annexation of the USA

Trump used this 51st State line all the time with Trudeau in his first term. He’s doing it to rattle Canadian cages.

There was a time when people ascribed way too much representative power to Twitter.
Hopefully that time has passed.
