Trying to help build The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible



Stephen Colbert got his band to play licensed music during his final show so CBS would be sued for using the music illegally. “Oh no! I hope this doesn't cost CBS any money!”

Someone needs to explain to Matt Yglesias that this whole "lol, you're just a rando twitter anon" attitude is no longer viable I would explain it to him, but he blocked me years ago although he weirdly keeps screen capping my tweets for commentary



"[Jeremy Kauffman] is exactly why people don’t take us seriously as a party." - A Libertarian Party member at National Convention No, • Losing for 55 straight years, and • Burning out hundreds of thousands of libertarians, is why we don't take the Libertarian Party seriously. #libertarian

“Crime is not down. Crime *reporting* is down.” Marc Andreessen & Joe Rogan on how the official crime rate doesn’t measure crime. It only measures the state’s willingness to record a crime. So it gets squeezed from both ends: 1) Victims stop calling to report a crime when they know nothing follows. 2) Police reclassify what does get reported into lesser charges that never reach the official crime stats. Residents are not fooled, read the “lived city experience” correctly and are forced to adjust their entire lives accordingly: where they go, when they leave, what they wear, what they lock, what they avoid, how much risk they absorb, etc. In DC the police just got caught blatantly cooking the books. More than a dozen officials are being fired after felonies were buried in lesser charges and kept out of the public count. Which raises the question: how many other cities is this happening in?
