Baths are just more fun.

“And I made good friends along the way, so I’ll be pardoning them”

Surprised it’s not called Department of Lawfare and this point.

You actually think those people watch the news and get accurate information? Misinformed people are always going to learn the wrong lesson.

Didn’t Bill Gates fly on the lolita express or something? Bet half the room is on Epstein’s list.

How many of them are on Epstein’s list? Bill Gates got divorced because he was a little to friendly with Epstein…

I wonder how well this runs AutoCad and adobe

No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model Book by Richard C. Schwartz

Lookup internal family systems (a good book would be “No Bad Parts”). It’s like you have parts of yourself arguing and putting other parts down. It’s all parts of you trying to protect you but they maybe don’t recognize the roles each part has. Try to find out what your anger is trying to say, sometimes when the part is heard it is more manageable. The point isn’t to make the anger go away but see if it can let other parts help in whatever need it is trying to accomplish.

Or do what they did in Hong Kong: ship them to another part of the country to stand trial. It’s currently illegal, but probably less illegal than removing juries. They’ll do it because they can’t secure the local jails or something

What the hell do you think federation is? A Trotsky plot?

Judge not lest ye be judged.

There are many forms of activism and it is important to keep in mind that everyone exists with different abilities in different contexts. Judging others because they aren’t adopting the same strategy as you isn’t going to build a winning coalition. Here’s a quote from someone who was murdered by the SS and was reflecting on how stupidity is as much a sociological phenomenon:

It will really depends on whether those in power expect more from people’s stupidity than from their inner independence and wisdom.

• Dietrich Bonhoeffer, After Ten Years

The idea that the DNC only has a messaging problem is to say we expect more from people’s stupidity than from their inner independence or wisdom (ie Voters just need to be educated). A party that respects people would listen and respond to issues like Gaza or wealth inequality. The reason this strategy of educating voters doesn’t work is because it isn’t a problem with the intellect but of their oppression. Only by liberating fellow voters will they be able to act independently.

Yeah, the only positive spin I received is from Newsom dropping ads on YouTube. Got a couple negative flyers as well.

Convincing people to vote for them is the job of the party, not their supporters. The supporters can only repeat the messaging the party sends out, if that messaging is unpopular then no amount of time and money from the supporters is going to win the election.

Was watching Lindsey Ellis’s latest video essay where she was comparing conservative children media to those that teach social emotional intelligence. It struck me that much of media is socializing kids to have a officer in their head to be disappointed if they act in a way authority disapproves of. My kid loves power rangers but I get the same vibe, lots of shame based morality without validating what people are feeling.

Is is cheaper than having one the old-fashioned way though?

Ahh yes, imprisoning her for the crime of showing empathy. What a bunch ghouls.

Was wondering this and if this sorry excuse is also on the Epstein list.

“A reasonable question is whether the Fed will remain sufficiently independent after Powell’s term is up in May,” Zandi wrote.

Like watching a slow moving train wreck. We all know the brakes are broken, and people are still asking whether there will be a crash.
