@cremieuxrecueil There’s needs to be a word for appropriating words with social power in their meaning and redefining them to use the power associated with the original meaning in other contexts.

@RealJarTaylor He was the best. The trouble is the metrics they now use to determine “best”. “Best” now tells us something about intersection merit and not the quality of their ideas.

@PalmerLuckey I wonder the degree to which the list was performative and intended to generate the “didn’t respond” quote.

@texasrunnerDFW Getting that cortisol from exercise early is a game changer. Early light probably doesn’t hurt either if it’s after sunrise.

My surprise started to go away when I realized the are getting literally buzzed on the idea that they are doing something risky to fight for good.

It’s not fraud to them. The meaning they assign is “this is the highest moral good for that money and I support that and that makes me the highest moral good”.

A decade on X has greatly lowered my expectations regarding America and Democrats.

Nevertheless, I am still astonished when I see hard facts like those uncovered below by DR and I realize that most Americans simply don't care.

This is fraud on the taxpayer on a mutated nuclear scale, and nobody seems to care but you, me, DR and a bunch of other Internet randos.

So depressing.
