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

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. nathannunn.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2022/12/…

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.
