I remember a time when presidents didn’t get to confess to sexually assaulting dozens of women, and be found liable for raping one, and get convicted of lying about paying another, and attempting a coup.
This is what has me so crazy about Kash Patel. Everyone has jumped right to the merits of Patel and no one has even paused to say, “Presidents don’t get to fire the FBI director without paying a huge political price.”
There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in.

Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world.

People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks.

This reality has not set in yet.

Knowing these guys a bit, I’ll slightly disagree. They were always regressive, and don’t actually have enough fluency to have a genuine political POV. This is why bullshit narratives that flatter them, like Yarvin-style neoreaction, could easily sway them. Then, rising worker power radicalized them.
Lots of discussion of this. Still think the best explanation for tech lord rightward lurch on culture war (trans rights, immigration, crime, etc.) is middle-aged white guy syndrome. They aged into the Trumpiest demographic.

Income doesn’t explain it. Millionaires, $200K+ earners went for Harris.

Ngl. Bluesky has given me the chance to hear from more trans people about their experiences than ever before, and for the better! How about we talk about that?
Candidly for all this talk of echo chambers and Bluesky 'not broadening horizons' I have learned SO MUCH from people with differing experiences and opinions that has deeply informed and enriched my politics and understanding of the world, because there's more space for generative disagreement!

It’s always the post lift no make up glow that makes you feel good when you get glimpses of all that hard work. I’ll take it when I can and try to be proud of it when I do see it. You’ve got this too! 💪🏼🥰

In the interests of accountability and allowing for a new level of vulnerability here on the nice people website, I feel compelled to state that I recently rewatched the Matt Reeves/Pattison Batman movie and liked it quite a bit more than I did when I saw it in theaters.

Here it is! A Starter Pack for Middle East News

A couple things
1) Inclusion in this list should not be taken as an endorsement, this is to crystalize the MENA ecosystem so it can grow

2) Limit's 150, so if I missed you, hit me in the replies & I'll get you in the next one

Hani’s family has a tent that is not weatherproof and floods when it rains. He has looked for a better tent and it is $1800 to $2000 (which I can vouch that I’ve seen tent prices that high from other people too). It’s a very large ask but he is very worried about winter.

Wow so many new people following. Maybe I need a real intro:

Hi I'm from Jerusalem & work on Palestine, authoritarianism, and US intervention in the Arab world. I'm a professor and a senior nonresident fellow at the Arab Center Washington.

I'll link a few essays, podcasts, & presentations below

I really love Bluesky, but I’m not crazy about calling posts here “skeets.” I just looked up the word, and skeet is apparently slang for ejaculation.

We can do better than that, folks! Since Elon coldly spurned the word “tweet” on X, I guess we could use that. Or maybe “blues”?

Any other ideas?
