Also—and here I’m not subtweeting but … supertweeting? the whole media—I’d like those who are commenting for the networks to remember that once the polls close no candidate “gains” or “loses” ground. The moment the polls close someone won. We just have to count it. But I know:

@gabrielzucman.bsky.social: So let met get that straight: paying a wealth tax is impossible (“billionaires have no liquidity”, “it would be taxing unrealized gains”, “their wealth is virtual”) but one man paying half a billion to influence elections is possible. Did I understand well?

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

One widely loathed, ketamine-addicted, white-supremacist billionaire can single-handedly keep a failing political party afloat, through the brute force of money. Excellent system we've set up here.

My teenage children, who have never set foot in NYC, go around saying "Help me, Mamdani!" whenever anything goes wrong and/or they can't figure out their homework, just to give everybody a sense of the scale of this man's presence in the culture lol

If you want to reduce rape on your campus, expel the rapists. If you want to reduce sexual harassment in your company, fire the harassers. If you want to reduce rape in your community, prosecute the perpetrators. This isn’t actually complicated; it’s just politically convenient to pretend it is.

We actually do know how to reduce rape. We do it the same way we disincentivize other behaviors: we punish it severely and consistently. The issue is not that we don’t know the solution, but that we lack the will to carry it out.

vandals like leaving their name on things or brekaing thing because it gives them a sense of power. something concrete has been changed by them and that change may last. ordinarily, the President doesn't need to do vandalism to feel powerful, because he is the most influential policymaker on Earth.

I simply don't think that colleges & universities should make nurturing homes for violent impunity factories, this belief is based on being a woman in the US for the past seven thousand years.

Sen. Ossoff: "Congress is full of congressmen's sons who are only in Congress because their daddies were congressmen, just like Mike Collins, who are perfectly happy to send other people's children to die in a war. How is this war a success, Mike?"

It's like Ossoff and El-Sayed are in a competition to see which one can most brutally disembowel their GOP rival. Hot Jewish guy and hot Muslim guy tag-teaming against white supremacy: This is the America I love.

exactly. at some point in the next couple of weeks I have to go in front of the leadership team and basically say the org's maxed out time saving/ cost saving with AI, and that the only way to get more out of it, or make more money in the long term is to hire more people and reduce workload.

Also stop the repulsive grandiosity and smug threats about your product. I’m gonna be left behind? What the fuck are you even talking about? I don’t care! I’m old and have plenty to do and don’t want to follow your parade of lazy shitheads! I don’t know enough about it? Yes I do! You failed.
