It's not that the kid is wrong, it's that he's wrong with utter and serene confidence. When people ask me why I wrote The Death of Expertise, it wasn't ignorance that compelled me to write, it was this kind of unbreakable, completely self-assured ignorance that did it.

couldn't stop thinking about DOJ threatening prosecutions for Trump's petty grievances (especially when the grievance in question is constitutionally protected speech by a sitting congressmember!!) so I did what I do when I can't stop thinking about something*

The Luigi Mangione story touches on pretty much every issue I care about:
The barbaric US healthcare system
The two tiered criminal justice system
The expansion of the surveillance state
Cops proving to be completely useless, despite having an infinite budget

NEW: Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the charges against Trump in the DC election subversion case without prejudice. This allows the Justice Department to refile charges once Trump is out of office.

Probably the number one reason I love social media is sometimes people just say things perfectly
when you stop reading "believe women" as "women never lie" and see it as "one of the foundational myths of patriarchy is that women can never be trusted" it makes a lot more sense.

“Safety for children” will always be used as a dog-whistle for the worst kind of actual violence against trans people. The reaction of the American mind is well-studied by bigots to make their most convincing arguments. Doesn’t matter if it lacks any factual info, fear is a more powerful motivator.
