It is completely messed up that we can't do this. Even our attempts to do it look utterly pathetic.

These people are just not capable of adapting to a situation in which we're the good guys and our cause is just.
Vietnam and Iraq broke their brains.

The Democrats used to have a faction that questioned war but no more. They gave Zelenskyy 18 standing ovations. They don't question sending more and more weapons. They won't even call for a ceasefire. Sad. #peaceinUkraine

Terrible ruling and illustrative of the overall problems with America’s “first we decide what we’re going to do, then we have a lot of lawsuits about it” approach to doing policy. https://t.co/a298WRRfNI

An intermediate California appellate court embraced a view that economic growth -- of any kind -- is an environmental harm that needs to mitigated because it draws new people into an area with limited housing. This is the upside-down good-is-bad world created by housing scarcity https://t.co/ke3kIhaMuO

Interesting paper on the politics of zero-sum worldview — I wish they’d been able to look at politics over time, my guess is that Obama/Trump swing voters are highly zero sum but I’d love to know for sure.

Some of these predictions for 2023 strike me as pretty unlikely. https://t.co/Lf5CVOrDD9

If you, as a woman, care about what men look like, you are already a spiritual lesbian and should just start dating women.
Only lesbians experience looks-based attraction, which is why they have sex with women, who are the more aesthetic sex.
