They're saying it's the most unbiased poll question ever. echeloninsights.com/insights/apr...

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

“For hundreds of years Germany was good enough to receive these elements, although they possessed nothing except infectious political and physical diseases”.

-Hitler, speaking of the Jewish population in a speech to the Reichstag, January 30, 1930.

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

with the water issues IT’S THE FARMER’S FAULT BLAME THE FUCKING FARMERS is like Newtonian physics: it won’t get every single particular right, but for practical purposes it’s all the information you need most of the time

Living under authoritarianism is horrible, but I feel a certain grim satisfaction that every centrist who bought the idea that people on the left disapproving of things was a threat to free speech has been exposed as a total mark.

There’s a reason Republicans don’t constantly shit on their own voters and that’s because it is an abysmal strategy for winning elections

"You let someone get into office..."

That's a lot of responsibility to be dumping on people you acknowledge are already pretty close to you in beliefs. Instead of berating them, you might consider what you could do to appeal to them, since, like you said, they agree with you on 90% of things.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

these are immensely self absorbed men who pine for nazi germany and apartheid south africa — stagnant, backwards regimes btw — because they imagine themselves the masters of the universe.

the tech fascists think they are so clever and smart but their entire worldview is just a bunch of stale apologetics for race hatred and fascism

a real testament to stefanik’s total lack of dignity that she is doing this AFTER trump totally threw her under the bus, backed up, and ran her over just to be sure

Me: Writes a book documenting in detail how #SCOTUS’s approach to emergency applications shifted in the mid-2010s, and why those shifts are problematic without regard to the results.

SI: But a 6-3 Court once vacated part of a Fifth Circuit stay in a specific Texas abortion case. So checkmate, libs!

this is just a warmed over david duke speech from 1990

This is my fav post on this story lmao, it really is the summary of what happened

He has merely gotten 98.5% of what he wanted, it's been a divided court all along

Atter Republicans won control of Congress, Mr. Obama responded by pushing the boundaries of presidential authority, promising that his administration would act on pressing problems "with or without Congress." He tightened gun regulations and

Have any subsequent presidents pushed the boundaries of presidential authority in bigger ways, with any interesting reaction by the Supreme Court?

Most striking to me about these memos is the radically different assessment of the harm imposed by the president not being able to pursue his initiatives. Over the last 15 mos., that harm has in numerous cases been treated as almost per se serious and irreparable. Here, it gets no analysis at all.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

two panels: on the left, doctor doom. on the right, the title screen for Avengers: Doomsday

Details from the 'Avengers: Doomsday' trailer

• Doctor Doom joins Kalshi
• The Winter Soldier gets into essential oils
• Thor finally finishes Baldur's Gate 3
• Ant-Man gets verified on Bluesky
• Doctor Doom has an accent

A big, flashing red warning sign is the kind of nerd who fully believes they’re smarter than everyone else and should be special because of it. If you don’t get older and grow out of it and grow more resentful instead, that makes the big red light flash even harder.

Exactly one year ago today:

Unfortunately this is almost definitely not going to be true in any near term, and even if it were you have to deal with the issue of social stigma around lab grown meat

Linda Yaccarino replies to a Zohran Mamdani tweet to say that taxing rich people's penthouses is "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen"

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

really does feel like we have a bunch of commentators who would like to just say “the bell curve was right”

You will have to eat less beef (and meat writ large) to combat climate change. You will have to use the AC less. You will need to use public transportation. You will need to buy fewer clothes. This is true and it is also true that these are all better than the alternative

There's a strand of online leftism (less so lately) that insists that solving climate change and enacting socialism will require no real lifestyle changes and that's not true. The goal of the contemporary left should be to make the case that those changes are worth it, not that they won't happen
