It's even worse than this -- if you come to a complete stop or don't turn on red where you're not supposed to turn on red, people behind you become insane with rage

Read a single word of literature in the field of critical media ecology and you'll have your answer, which I suspect you don't actually want.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

My report:

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

Would be curious beyond raw clicks to know how the ad impression numbers shake out on long vs short pieces

It's a perfectly rational thing to happen, but its pretty weird to see academics whose work you've at least been neutral about for decades start getting noticably more "spent too much time on social and now I'm a crank who can't think carefully"

too many of you are arguing with Cryin Ryan Grim when you should be Climbin the Grim Tower with playable characters like Ironclad, The Silent, and Necrobinder. Slay The Spire 2 coming to steam early access later today

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

March newsletter is out! We are making very significant progress, and the crowdfunding launch is essentially in sight.

Still lots of work left to do, which you can track along with me each month by signing up for the newsletter. πŸŽͺπŸŽͺπŸŽͺ

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

a fan of this energy tbh, and ambitious politicos should be trying to outdo each other here

The "everyone's 12" thesis also applies to people who are extremely hyper and annoying on this website

Love to get on the wrong side of someone who is then really nice to me all the time

This is also sort of what getting on the wrong side of someone means in a straightforward sense.

I don't believe in the tech singularity but the funniest and most likely outcome would be the singularity immediately understanding the situation and executing billionaire tech guys on the spot.

This is the kind of stuff that happens in DC all the time, and the ability to legally challenge it and probably win is going to be example infinity of why we deserve statehood immediately

There can be some positive upshots of the fact that Congress doesn't really do very much these days
