Fake positivity doesn’t erase real negativity.

Telling somebody to “be positive” doesn’t make them any less sad, angry, numb, or pained. It just changes how honest they are with you about what they’re feeling.

Watching how Americans have responded to COVID has to make any adversary think much more intently about how we would react to a debilitating cyber attack, or some other unconventional strike. There's a very good chance we'd tear ourselves apart.

I understand that procedurally there might be a scenario in which it is no one person's fault to a degree that can justify punishment (more a cumulative error), but at the very least, someone with command authority needs to step down over something like that. https://t.co/gjLPTVcbmw

This is pretty scummy. He declared a moratorium on staff holiday parties and then held a fancy party and invited just the instructors but not the other staff. What a dick. https://t.co/GnzltOaDoj

Fox hosts rightly getting criticized for knowingly lying about Jan. 6 and Trump's effort to stay in power after losing reelection, but unfortunately this is not just a supply problem.
Much of their audience wants to be lied to. If Fox stopped lying to them, they'd go elsewhere.

SpaceX having a harassment problem doesn't shock me. The default position of companies seems to be to ignore harassment and discourage or even punish people for reporting issues. We shouldn't tolerate it.

This week is feeling a lot like that week in January when the conservative establishment finally admitted they couldn't cover for Trump's criminality anymore. I wonder if they'll take it all back in a month this time too? https://t.co/rrqXDb94I3

You can't try to destroy democracy and then call yourself patriotic. Your flag pin isn't fooling anyone.

When I was young, Grover Norquist got laughs and applause with the line "My goal is to [get]government...down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."

Now those people want the government empowered to conduct genital inspections for bathroom access and youth sports.

But if 1/6 wasn't a big deal or was just a couple tourists out for a sight see or an ANTIFA BLM Deep State False Flag, why would those texts be at all embarrassing? https://t.co/u9DmlamzZG

Conservatives who lost their shit over one stray remark from Obama to Medvedev would still make this guy the Commander in Chief and give him the nuclear codes, and I don't think we should ever let a day go by without reminding everyone what that means. https://t.co/SUnCWPlApp

HOW THE FUCK you spend half a million dollars on a tree on a continent LOUSING with coniferous forests?

In the alternative: if evergreens now cost half a million dollars MAYBE THE DAMAGE TO OUR BIOMES is the bigger story than arsonists out on bail? https://t.co/p0fiO1b3XR

You didn't need to be this person.

You don't have to be this person even if you disagree with en vogue gender theory.

You could just ... not be an ass. It's more difficult for some than others, of course, but it remains an option https://t.co/C9annCFVMp
