He can't say that in a meeting that will obviously have leaks. It would be "value-destroying."

What's the point of having "Fuck You Money" if you don't say "Fuck you" when it matters?

A dumb sunuvabitch who didn't respect civilian authority and you don't know why a lot of the rest of society seems to love him?

There's always somebody winning at SEO and gaming the algorithm, and there are few tactics more effective than "Exciting and Wrong"

Whenever people act like disruptive protest is such a terrible tactic, I have to wonder what they think would work instead. Like, do they think the letter writing campaigns that have gone exactly nowhere in 40 years are on the verge of a breakthrough?

Or would they prefer the environmental movement to compile an overly literal companion reader to Andreas Malm?

Yeah, and the Capitol subway probably has loads of security. Can't have a new Guy Fawkes Day in January.

I wonder how much of the rejection of real issues with marijuana are the after effects of nearly a century of it being demonized with sources like "we made it up" or "we just really want to jail black people and college students".

Then again, we have people out there believing that the entire world was ruled by a single nomadic horde, the world was flooded with mud in the mid 1800s, and 1*1=2 so we might just have a broader issue with people rejecting facts they don't like.

State charge. Garland can't even claim credit for this conviction-without-a-sentence.
