you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks”
whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to”
don’t give them cover on it

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

it’s ironic how nothing makes you sound more like you live in a weird little bubble than when you make the bizarre assumption that liberals in big cities have never interacted with a conservative before
The educated liberal big city US folks outraged at Trump's renovation of Lincoln bathroom really need to scroll some Facebook of their less established relatives and friends to see what kind of aesthetic resonates with Trump's target audience.

Every AI commercial is so pathetic. Just desperately trying to convince people to use something they don’t want for a use case scenario that doesn’t exist.

Not an original observation, but the fact that ICE/HSI guys seem to constantly have their faces covered really feels quite telling.

March 23rd: female fencer competes in mixed-gender event, beating several male competitors, finishing 8th
March 30th: same fencer films herself telling trans competitor “I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man,” collects $5000

Really can't be emphasized enough that Kamala Harris, like most Democrats, did not actually run on the defense of trans people in 2024. The real ask here is for Democratic candidates to join in attacking a minority population that is being persecuted by the current administration for votes.
Damn. Just overtly and unapologetically saying you are willing to sacrifice part of the population.
And these folks call themselves "moderates." Incredible.

“Doge” really is the end result of the Silicon Valley mindset where people who understand one complex tech subject assume that means they understand everything else about the world. Of course many actual expert in the fields they touch is horrified by their incompetence.

this is what long-time Elon watchers call "The Realization": when Elon stumbles into your area of expertise, and you realize everyone just gives the guy the benefit of the doubt because he talks about complicated things people don't pay attention to
I’ve been thinking about how monumentally stupid the Elon video game cheating thing is and I think it comes back to this post
there aren’t a ton of people who work in cars, or rockets, or even software
but everyone - everyone! - understands cheating at video games
totally unnecessary self-own
