I know I retweeted Eric 3 times but I wanna make clear that I didn’t care for his book or find it making much of an argument at all. Peace and love though
Someone should write a book about all the good things that happen at Fort Bragg to help cheer people up
I keep making a simple point: that to change people's minds effectively we need to acknowledge that most people are currently to our right Response from online left? "You're so dumb for thinking we shouldn't change people's minds! Stop being a tailist!"
Various people responded to this by saying that most Americans' politics are incoherent, not to the right of DSA Obviously popular incoherence is widespread. But it's also true that there's clear data showing that the vast majority of working people are to our political right 🧵
A central divide within DSA is whether we should be primarily orienting to winning over people to our political right or to our left This convention has so far chosen the latter, and I think that's a serious mistake in a country where 99% of people are to our right
An excellent recent study of working people's political views showed that only 14% of workers are consistently left-wing (on both economic & social issues) — and that only 16% are "tuned out persuadables"
Cregger has vision but unfortunately in that interview talking about David lynch he used the term “subconscious” rather than unconscious, showing him to be a junglet which unfortunately demerits him a star. Rookie mistake, fella
It does sometimes feel like that scene in the wire where the detective asks why the guys would keep letting this one guy gamble w them even though he’d just grab all the money and try to run off with it every single week and the guy says “this is America; we gotta let him play”
Zohran appointing Larry Summers as an economic adviser instead of me stings even though I'm not qualified and would not do the job
The Board’s vote is a sobering reminder of what’s at stake in the fight for fully funded transit in PA. All of us rely on public transportation, and our communities can’t afford cuts. But know we are continuing to fight in Harrisburg for robust state funds to keep SEPTA moving.
Without action in Harrisburg to provide new funding for transit—the SEPTA Board voted today to approve the Fiscal Year 2026 Operating Budget which will cut service by 45% and raise fares 21.5% to fill a $213 million recurring budget deficit. Beginning with the fall schedule…
🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water
Ever since I left this website, the world has gotten worse but I have gotten a lot better
From Pynchon's "Vineland": "Then again, it's the whole Reagan program, isn't it -- dismantle the New Deal, reverse the effects of World War II, restore fascism at home and around the world, flee into the past, can't you feel it, all the dangerous childish stupidity?"
