I think this is the wrong time to be having that argument. Particularly since the issue here isn’t truly admissions criteria. It’s about crushing dissent. I don’t love Harvard for a lot of other reasons, but we can talk about that maybe after the wannabe dictator is dealt with.
It does have to pass the Senate. I can’t see this overcoming a filibuster.
If people think the big risk of AI is fake nudes… man, I wish that was the worst that could happen.
Criticism is not censorship. You’ll just have to learn to live with the fact that people can tell you when they think you’re being an ass. Free speech, you know.
Most Americans are not MAGA. If this guy gets back to a US court, and he can deliver testimony about what Trump’s DHS is doing, and what things are really like in this Salvadoran gulag, that’s the kind of primetime drama that gets people’s attention.
I for one agree that kind of sexualized criticism is inappropriate. I think a reasonable person would read it as trying to demean Schumer by associating him with other-than-straight behavior.
I dunno pretty sure they consume groceries

Yeah but how do you get the information from the IRS into the systems that manage this hypothetical program? How do you get your parents’ and grandparents’ IRS data correlated with your own? What about people who don’t file taxes? The risk is that all that work falls on the applicant. Or if the program administrators do all that work, that’s where the overhead costs come in.
This is something which happens with existing public assistance programs, where so many requirements have been put on the aid application that people give up trying to to prove they made less than X dollars in the last 12 months, or lived in the state for at least 5 years, or have passed a drug screening, and so on. Too often that’s done intentionally to stymie a program, but the phenomenon exists regardless of motivation. The more complicated the program requirement are, the more people will fail to get aid they should, and the more it costs to administer.
Has it worked well for France? I’ve been arguing that such an approach would work much better for the US.
Using self-identified racial identities for aid programs is too easy to argue is itself racially biased. Even if you can make good contextual arguments that race-based aid is a compensation for race-based oppression, either current or historical, that’s not a winning political position.
Using metrics like generational wealth, income, education is a much easier argument to make, even if in effect it would disproportionately benefit these identity groups.
The primary downside seems to be that administering such a program is more complicated, which means more of the expense goes to overhead, and more people will not get the benefits they could because of the difficulty of navigating a more complex process.
Maybe that’s all it is.
Sometimes I think the last great problem to solve in anarchist theory is how people get this confused about what anarchism is.
Did they ever go back to the metal? I think the last album I listened to was Shadows of the Sun. At that point things had only gotten more experimental. I wasn’t really able to get into either Blood Inside or Shadows of the Sun, so I haven’t listened to their even newer releases.
Themes From William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, and Perdition City are both permanent parts of my psyche.
I didn’t see anything about a violation of election law. All it said was she was known for pro-Kremlin, and anti-Semitic positions. I hope there’s more to this story or Romania is going to damage the credibility of their elections.
They won’t have sharpened edges. There are too many events that don’t allow sharps.
I am a historic reenactment nerd, and both the halberd and sword I ordered from two different smiths should be done this spring. FYI it takes a long time to get quality reproduction pieces made.
This is exactly what needs to happen. Every government fundamentally runs on the voluntary cooperation of the people involved. Every government is susceptible to a breakdown of that cooperation. “Or what?” is not the biting political analysis you think it is.
But I’ll spell it out. The administration will comply with the order or they’ll be found in contempt. If they’re found to be in contempt, they’ll either comply with the remedies, or we’ll have ourselves a proper constitutional breakdown.
The point is that it’s all on the record, black and white, in public. If things really go wrong it is critically important that every media outlet, and every civic institution can point to these public facts so that it is abundantly clear that the administration has become lawless.
It would be much worse if the courts were already so submissive to the will of the executive that they won’t even rule against them. Then maga would get to continue doing what they’re doing with a pretense of legitimacy, and it would be many times harder to muster public resistance.
It was a long time ago and only briefly, but I agree this does not sound at all like what I recall from a CBT session.
