I taught school in a red state during Covid. Even the hybrid schedule we did was psychological torture for teachers, students, parents, staff, literally everyone but the politicians and admins who stayed in their offices and quit visiting schools. I wonder why they quit visiting?

We need real leadership, AOC. Please help rid the Dems in Congress of ineffective leaders like Schumer and.... (you know better than we do who the weak ones are).
November 10, 2025 at 6:56 AM
NO YOU DID NOT CALL THEIR BLUFF!! YOU CAVED TO THEIR DEMANDS. You did this, Schumer, everyone knows you did. Sellout. Fool. Time for new leadership.
November 10, 2025 at 6:51 AM
You failed the test of leadership today. You allowed or encouraged 8 Dems to betray the 20 million who will lose their healthcare. You are an utter failure. Resign.

The vote in December will either:
1. Not happen, or
2. Fail to get 60 votes.

You and the other 7 fools who voted yes got played.

Explain to the 20 million Americans who will lose health insurance why you caved in to Republican lies and sold them down the river.

Best line from you convo:

Yudkowsky is "3 anxiety disorders in a trench coat".

Brilliant!

Truly one of my favorite interviews that Ed has done. You both were funny but also very poignant. Definitely buying your book!

There is one podcast I eagerly await: BetterOffline. Thanks, Ed. Keep being different!

As a Brown alum and father of a trans daughter, I find this deeply disturbing. But not surprising. After all, most universities care far more about the Benjamins than the learning. Sadly.

You and your colleagues are doing the right thing! I just made donation to you to help pay your fines for breaking quorum.

I'll have to dig back through your episodes to find them. Great perspectives.

I'm loving this episode! Ed, please have more guests like @cherlynn.bsky.social on Better Offline. Her perspectives and view are well thought out and very informative. Same with @amorrow.bsky.social from a few weeks ago.

Cuz “Good Morning” from Luna is such a good thing!

Best of luck! Missouri, and most red states, isn't gonna be a good places for trans or queer folks during the next 4 years. Cuz 'Merica voted stupid. Again.
December 11, 2024 at 3:36 AM
Missouri is home of the Assemblies of God and other far right Christian denominations that can't see past their absurd mythology. They only want to hurt others who aren't like them. And the MoLeg is filled with these nutters. I can't wait to get out of this red state hell hole. 🤮
