@WrathuvCon @Sarah3662926 @IngrahamAngle @Acosta @CNN Wrong. Read HARDER.

Somewhere between Jevons Paradox and Sturgeons Law (90% of everything is crap) there is maybe something like:

Technology that makes X more efficient increases demand for X, but crap scales linearly with the production of X, stimulating demand for jobs in the category of [cleaning up X’s mess]

If you are voting for UmpTruck based on RFK, consider below!

RFK Jr’s daughter, Kick Kennedy, recounts the time her dad cut off a dead whale’s head with a chainsaw. When he said he had skeletons in his closet, he was not kidding.

I know you go more viral with indignant takes accusing Dems of being top to bottom political failures, but in the real world what’s so striking about losing Roe is that in almost ever other policy area the status quo has either moved left or stayed steady over the last 25 years.

A good series of verifiable accomplishments. That said, I have reservations about what I would call the "ideological" state of the nation which seems to have degraded even from the 70s. What We Want does not = What We Need

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Despite some backlash clearly a ton of progress on gay rights since 1997.

Medicare & Medicaid have expanded, SNAP expanded, we got the ACA, EITC & CTC more generous, and we have less air pollution and cleaner water.

I also think American culture has gotten less racist.

If you are picking up Machiavelli for some <<plumpes denken>>--"heavy thinking" for you monoglots--then throw some Spinoza and Hobbes in for good measure. Not as read nor as vilified but all three are the liberals who cannot be named by those who think Locke began it all.

@CBHessick At this point with four male Catholic (and extremist in said Catholicism towards liberal society) who do use their faith in discriminating within the law, it is time to talk of balance. Because these men will never look in the mirror, nor do their enablers .,.

I am gradually working thru Love's Shadow but I am not happy about that.

@ufirvwo @guybranum And only psychopaths can play psychopaths. This infringement of our rights has gone on far too long.

@guybranum @daveweigel And I think "gay" only describes the least of Baron Harkonnen's proclivities .,.

@guybranum @daveweigel It is likely arduous to were a fat suit since skin sweats and breaths while vinyl locks things in.

In all of my years covering wars and authoritarian leaders around the world and even with their disdain for a free media, I have never heard one of those leaders call the shooting, targeting and/or injury of a reporter “a beautiful thing” the way Trump has spoken about @AliVelshi

[Le chat de Foucault qui rit! @stephen_crow]

@davidmweissman Yes

Hey South Carolina--Not my business to tell you how to vote (although I loved writing about lovely SC in THE INSTITUTE), but Jaime Harrison is extremely cool. And if you don't mind me saying, Lindsey Graham is kind of a dork.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

But hey, if you get out of South Carolina alive, there's a Denny's in Brunswick. Bowling alley next door. Unless the Trump Virus closed 'em down.

“As a nation we should heed her final call to us — not as a personal service to her, but as a service to the country, our country, at a crossroads,” Joe Biden says about Justice Ginsburg’s final wish that she not be replaced until a new president is installed.

Cleveland, Chicago, Seattle and Portland were already under court-enforced agreements to reform their police departments. Then came protests against police brutality and racial injustice. @ZoeHTodd reports on how the protests impact police reform. https://t.co/pZi5bxtR9o
