I worked for a man born in Hong Kong when I was a teenager. He said education is the only thing that can't be taken away from you. He'd had 8 years of school. I'm 56 now and I don't have a great deal of formal education but I fully understand what he was saying. We have to face the reality

The whole "jailbait" isn't pedophilia conversation this week has been really sad to me. I look back at how subtly normalized it is for adult men to behave inappropriately, with young women and how the girl, who chooses poorly is painted the "slut." Our choices, our consequences. 🙄🙄

Please take note folks in DoD. It is still DoD. DoW is an optional nickname (literally; that's what the White House said). So opt out.

in online corners like these I think people largely recognize how credulous, unprincipled opposition to "wokeness" functioned as lightly papered over defenses of impunity, but it's one of those drums people should probably start beating for normies
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

I’ve had two conferences—one in the US and one international—change titles of panels or the entire gathering to avoid being targeted or make people’s lives more difficult.

It’s the exact kind of thing the US used to label totalitarian when foreign countries did this to their scholars.
Going to a research conference next week. One of my panels featured researchers coming from Asia, who decided to withdraw given the uncertainty about domestic travel with flight cancelations. Just one more reference point for how the US under Trump has become seen as a basket case country.

The laws of war are not mere niceties. They are lessons from centuries of blood agreed upon to keep the world more stable.

Violating them isn’t hero cop who cuts through red tape to get things done, it’s psycho cop who crosses lines in ways even the rule benders find appalling and must be stopped.

The ability to convince capital markets to hand you a trillion dollars on the strength of obvious bullshit paired with the inability to get a single human to sincerely and spontaneously say they love you is some real punishment of the gods shit.

Cleveland Ohio food bank distributed double their daily average yesterday. Ohio hasn't released any SNAP money. Every time, the 🍊 brings widespread suffering. Every time.

I'm beyond sick of the gratuitous suffering in this country and the suffering caused by my country. Anyone else?

VA mental health providers aren't permitted to discuss politics, but I make sure to mention that the instability of the country, effects my mental health. Because it does. 10 years ago, I was telling people we'd end up here. And here we are. So frustrating.

This is someone who has absolutely no care for suffering. He thinks he's punishing colleagues not children and elders who need the help no matter who is in control. He will cut everything and feel nothing.
BASH: Even Hawley says you should move money around to feed people. Why not consider it?

JOHNSON: Because if you deviate from the goal of reopening the entire govt, Schumer & the radicals will continue to play games. If you do just part of this, it will reduce the pressure for them to do all of it

We've lost over $292 million in Navy Aircraft, in peacetime, doing political agenda operations, this year, and spent another million plus blowing up drug boats. Just saying.

Why aren't the markets reacting to an anonymous donor paying for the military wages? That is the most batshit crazy, banana republic stuff in my lifetime.

I'd make a bad news interviewer, because I'd crack up upon hearing "this is interference in US sovereign matters," like when an absurdist joke catches you off guard.

Canadian commenting on US policy towards Canada is unfair? And after the US president says Canada shouldn't be sovereign? Come on.
Bessent: "I've read that Ontario is spending up to $75 million on these advertisements and it's propaganda coming across our border to decry the tariffs. The premiere of Ontario seems to have come off the rails a little ... this is interference in US sovereign matters."

People think everyone has always been hyper aware of negative symbolism. I guarantee you some people just put pictures on their body and it's not deep. Military people get tattoos. Spiderwebs and stars on elbows were popular and then it was a gang tat. The punisher skull has history.
He said that for the past 18 years, he's been taking his shirt off and no one has ever said it was a Nazi tattoo. He said he only found out it was a Nazi tattoo when the rest of the opposition research stuff came out last week.
