Not to defend Qatar to a fulsome level or anything but it's pretty indisputable that they care about the hostages infinitely more than Israel does, right

I believe that you're narcissistic enough to regularly refer to yourself in the third person man I'm just not sure that's a sterlinh defense

If you were to actually read my timeline beyond perusing for cheap dunks it would be pretty obvious that "insufferable hysterics" was me rhetorically adopting the language that people used to dismiss it in 2018, but that would be expecting far too much from you
WOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE SOME OF US LITERALLY TOLD THIS PERSON EXACTLY THIS IN EXACTLY THESE WORDS FOR FUCKS SAKE

This is so goofy. Biden signed the law that banned TikTok last April. Trump is a hypocritical opportunist who decided to switch his position because he saw a political layup. To get more favorable terms TikTok is sucking up to the incoming president. Not everything is an Anne Applebaum column
man how did tiktok get so good at playing to the whims of autocrats

the fact that the liberal intelligentsia could not fathom a multi-racial reactionary coalition for the longest time is probably a sign of how provincial americans are
Donald Trump's war is on cosmopolitanism, and his coalition against it is cosmopolitan. There is room for the gay billionaire who thinks women shouldn't vote and the children of Mexican illegal immigrants who hate Nicaraguan asylum seekers. It is nothing less than an attack on the open society.

Wow, what a year it's been! At the start of 2024, I was wasting all my time posting garbage on a website, but now, as we enter 2025, I'm wasting all my time posting garbage on a different website. It's a heartwarming tale of personal growth

it's par the course nowadays but it's crazy how quickly Stranger Things fell off from being relevant in the cultural zeitgeist

Kind of crazy that Venezuela is ending the year as the anti-Americanist regime most likely to survive indefinitely

matt yglesias, noah smith, and that armand guy truly believe that they can convince republicans to moderate on immigration by extolling the virtues of low wage asian tech workers. this is foundational to their worldview
Funniest people are the aforementioned SV and neoliberal pundits who are lecturing the racists on the benefits of the H1B as if they care.

the Vivek-Elon tech bro wing is very obviously going to lose this mock gop civil war and it's pretty funny
no one except for silicon valley and neolib pundits actually believes that illegal immigration is the problem but legal high skilled immigration is good. elite politics with no constituency

What these people want isn’t an education, it’s societal prestige. You can get just as fine an undergraduate education at University of Vermont as you can at USC or Yale, especially in liberal arts, but people don’t market themselves as getting a degree from UVM

Being a nerdy kid who was obsessed with Pokémon design/lore is surprisingly pretty handy..."did you know Infernape is just Sun Wukong" is a good conversation starter for a certain kind of person in my age cohort lol
