But unironically.
I assume "#1" is after some race and class adjustments, but there's no joke here - they moved from #50 to top-20 after adopting such innovative strategies as "expelling troublemakers" and "actually teaching kids to read."
@BasilTheGreat@TRobinsonNewEra A student at the Oxford Union casually treats the threat of being beaten to death by “pro-Islam supporters” as normal.
This is what institutional capture looks like.
One of Ayn Rand's very best observations, which has aged like fine wine:
"Socialism is not a movement of the people. It is a movement of the intellectuals, originated, led and controlled by the intellectuals, carried by them out of their stuffy ivory towers into those bloody fields of practice where they unite with their allies and executors: the thugs."
After the Green Party takes power we will no longer need money.
Instead, we will exchange goods and services.
For example, you might come and renovate my kitchen, and in return I'll write a poem about climate change for you.
Or you'll give my car a full service, and I'll spend an equal amount of time explaining queer Marxism to your children.

Look, I'm still not the kind of priest to say things like "they're putting demons in the robots," but the chainsaw-wielding black drones with eyeball horns are making it harder to argue my case
Think about this for a second if you are a guy.
Think about who your best friend is right now. Literally say their name in your head right now.
Say it again.
Now if your best friend is married or has a girlfriend say her name in your head.
Now, imagine banging your best friend's wife for 10 months behind his back.
Now also imagine that your best friend (say his name again) works for you. You see him every single day at the office. And every day for 10 months you look him in the eye and act like everything between the two of. you is great. You talk to/with him day in and day out all the while knowing what you're doing.
You make small talk, you go out for beers, you talk about the game last night, every single day, all the while you are banging his wife behind his back.
Also imagine your best friend and his wife have a one year old son. And your best friend is at home babysitting their one year old son while you are banging his wife and complimenting her on taking her pregnancy weight off. Sending her home when you're done with her with your private driver.
Because that's what Gavin Newsom did to his best friend and deputy chief of Staff Alex Tourk.
He banged his wife over and over and over again for 10 months. He spent the night with her in expensive hotel rooms when she was black out drunk (sounds like rape to me). He blew up her phone with texts for hook ups and he did all this knowing she had a drinking problem, with his best friend's wife.
It takes a special type of sociopath to be able to do that. I hope Ruby Ripey's essay in Vanity Fair today is an Eric Swalwell wake up moment for Gavin Newsom and his political future.
