I have this Ezra Klein post burned into my brain

Second, fear of violence undermines liberal politics. Just look at America post-9/11. Or after the crime surges of the 70s and 80s and 90s — strongmen politicians win, punitive responses like mass incarceration and warrior policing rise, social trust collapses.

Who wants you to know he’s ENRAGED. And EMBARRASSED. How the American Schutzstaffel is doing Schutzstaffel things

He also wants you to know he’s Jewish (so am I, and I know our history enough that Homeland Security always had ‘Blood and Soil’ connotations you fucking shande)

Word of advice to the press: Stop 👏 giving 👏 natalists 👏 free 👏 platforms 👏

We should aim for better elites

Why not a world with zero elites buddy

Couple months ago I saw a flurry of posts from far-right accounts going 'Jeffrey Epstein Innocent (he didn't do it).' Now it's morphing into 'Jeffrey Epstein Innocent (he DID do it, but ackshually it's ephebaphilia and if ONLY someone would do something about those pesky Age of Consent laws...)'

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. Sam “No It Won’t” Harris

Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream
