they called it the web without ever saying who's the spider, who's the fly. they called it reels, but who's the fish, who's the worm, who's the man with the big long barbed rod? ht @smtuffy.bsky.social

When cities and transit agencies bring in Walker's firm, the assignment is: Text: When cities and transit agencies bring in Walker's firm, the assignment is: "Our budget is X million dollars. How can we best use this fixed budget to deliver service?" Even the best consultant? has to work within such terms. A consultant who retorts, "Your budget is too small for a world-class system. You need to go to the voters and politicians for better funding," wouldn't get hired again. That's not their job. Walker's error is to project that same role onto voters in a democracy.

the two party system has become the fascists and everyone-else-not-fascist. it’s not surprising that the former has something of an advantage in coherence.

doing anything that matters makes critics wail louder than supporters praise. in a multiparty system, where you face multiple competitive candidates, other people getting heat doesn’t guarantee any benefit to you. but in a two party system, it does. denouncing while doing nothing becomes the play.

there are versions of being mean that comprise harassment or hate speech, and we as a “community” or, less grandly, platform should have no tolerance of that. 1/

but most being mean is just meanness. on an open social media platform there will be a lot of it, tolerating it is less censorious than the alternative. 2/

if you are going to speak about controversial things, my advice is do your best just let it wash off your back (blocking or muting, or not, as you please). 3/

don’t mistake what annoys you for some fatal flaw in the platform. people aren’t nicer anywhere else. yes, you may find more compatriots with particular views or interests in other places. stop complaining and bring those people here if you don’t like there. /fin

what do the national guardspeople and marines, most of whom don't have Stephen Miller's view of the world, think of the role into which they've been thrust?

approval voting is much more tractable. fewer moving parts, voters can more accurately understand the implications of their choices.

i mean, surely Joe Biden’s presiding over the onset of COVID, the initial lockdowns, and most of the inflationary stimulus checks is bad enough. (poe’s law. i know.)
