@Cyrus @xerophile don’t give them any idea$, please!

everything we do we all do together.

this has implications for your innocence.

it’s important we elect only superficial people to positions of political authority. we wouldn’t want anyone who understands how intolerable the human condition is to have access to the nuclear codes.

i want a button that says “maybe never”.

i've added an option to e-mail subscribe to all my crap as one weekly digest.

my testing skillz are so awesome we'll have to wait a few days to be sure it actually maybe works though...

@chrisp thanks! it’s nice to hear someone is reading my $%#?!

i'm not a fan of substack on principal, but just in a day-to-day way, one thing really annoying about it is a lot of substackers have their front page in some splashy newspaper-like format when i just want a reverse chronological list of wtf they have written recently. is there some trick to just get that?

@MisuseCase i disagree with Yglesias a lot, find him infuriating, often manipulative and disingenuous.

i’m not sure where really to go with problematic as a category, though. it’s too ambiguous a signifier, which on the one hand i think is part of why it is popular, but on the other hand leaves me a bit cold.

although i have certainly used it at times anyway!

@MisuseCase that’s pretty much Yglesias’ view, he’s a process-towards-a-two-state-solutionist.

@walli you’d want to propose there just to be contrary.

does anyone maintain a list of neotwitter’s many censorship scandals and fascist-far-right favoring double-standards in moderation? https://kolektiva.social/@strandedia/112128209725895517

“The specific thing that has transfixed a global audience of idealistic young people is the concrete suffering of Palestinian civilians. That’s something that could be resolved far short of dissolving the State of Israel.” #MattYglesias https://www.slowboring.com/p/what-israel-does-matters
