“0% woke shit”

a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

Sometimes the paywall is there to protect you. I really cannot face the Atlantic's take on Spinoza on Monday.
By using reason to understand his emotions, the 17th-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza “canceled his cancelers where it really mattered: in his own mind,” Arthur C. Brooks writes. His techniques reveal how to prevent emotional hijack:

I've become increasingly skeptical of rights discourse from a realist perspective, not because I don't like what these juridical fictions claim to confer, but because they manifestly don't actually do that and stuff like this lets people think something meaningful is happening when it's not
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The UN's top court in a landmark climate decision says a 'clean, healthy and sustainable environment' is a human right.

Today, the BDS movement — led by the largest Palestinian coalition ever — turns 20.

In the midst of Israel’s livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, we are too grieved and too enraged to celebrate the phenomenal impact of BDS.

Referring to events in Ballymena as "disturbances" is a euphemism too far. We are witnesses to a pogrom. And it behoves us to say so, loud and clear.

Séamas O’Reilly: Ballymena violence is the result of politics based on scapegoating any ‘other’
"The central perversity of treating these people as anything other than racist thugs is only more transparent in Ballymena because they have so few migrants that any other excuse is patently absurd."

What we see from Gaza to LA is the same process. A state that is confident that it can label anyone who opposes its authority as terrorists or criminals in order to guarantee impunity for its violence. It is necessary to resist both its actions and its rhetoric.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

misinformation is a very real issue, the problem was it was folded into a power-flattering pseudo epistemology where only grimy foreigners and YouTubers were capable of doing it when some of the biggest promoters of misinformation are the NYT and Atlantic. This bred cynicism and indifference.
Still wild to me that so many "savvy" folks on left and right have bought into the idea that online misinformation is overblown and doesn't really matter. From lies about migrants to transgender people to crime to election denial to climate denial, it's literally driving our country's politics.
