Very interesting and instructive critique; thanks for sharing it.

Empire collapse

It never gets old

Tucker Carlson: I'II be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.

It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.

Ah dammit it was right there.

A Confrontation with Truth What it means to live in a deeply sick country that worships killing. Diagnosis as the first step of any journey toward health.

I wrote a story of two doctors to illustrate what it really means to meet MAGA defectors where they are.

We live in a sick nation, so we should pursue a culture of healing. And every movement toward health begins with a confrontation. www.the-reframe.com/a-confrontat...

After building the best public education system in the world brought us the Counterculture and the Anti-War Movement, conservatives in the US began a 50+ year assault to destroy public education.

Your regular reminder that cops don't actually justify their existence or enormous budgets by solving much crime.

Approximately 11% of all serious crimes result in an arrest, and about 2% end in a conviction.

And then there's this...

Very good: “This confederacy of goons think that their wealth and whiteness and maleness conveys automatic competence, so they never bothered to learn anything about anything, and they fired everyone who knew anything about anything, and dismantled all the programs that helped make anything work ….”

If even half of my followers sent literally $0.50, I would be past my goal easily.

I deserve to stay housed.

Made you a prototype, chief.

Defund the hostile domestic troops who wage war against the civilian population of the United States.

My new bit in my reviews is to pretend that the title is a character name no matter what the title is, anyway I enjoyed this movie in which Robert DeNiro plays union/mob enforcer Theloniois “The” Irishman.

Me (whispering to my wife when the Irishman comes on screen): That’s the Irishman.

As I wrote it didn’t even clock as de-aging. It just looked like old guys. A bizarre but effective and thematically coherent choice.

A ★★★★ review of The Irishman (2019) Absorbing and quotidian. People don't like the digital de-aging; I'll be honest, I didn't notice much de-aging. To me it looked like 75 year olds acting 65. The only hints I see that the characters ar...

THE IRISHMAN is, in my opinion, good. letterboxd.com/andrewmoxon/...

It's notable that Sen. Ossoff is pressing this attack in a tight re-election fight in a purple state. The rest of the party needs to pay attention.

Yeah. "I disagree with the Court's legal analysis" is one thing, but "the Court isn't using legal analysis to decide cases" is another. The latter is no longer in the realm of law and should not be treated as if it is.

If you’ve read the thread posted by palantir on X and are shocked, please read this piece that @tlecaque.bsky.social and I wrote 9 months ago. Palantir has not been shy about its fascist agenda, and neither has Karp, who has been rambling about Western Supremacy in text & video form for a while now

Naming my security company after the giant evil eye that, crucially, was too distracted to see the actual threat sneaking in

Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

If crying laughing emojis over defying a court order isn’t contempt I can’t imagine what could be

We will be extending broad discretionary latitude to our BBGs.

Every day video of another fuckhead getting thrown down DC federal building steps.

There goes Ted Cruz.

thuppathupppathupppathuppaCRASH crunch plinch chump spleen ouch SPLAT

"And STAY out!"

Here comes J.D. Vance.

We have to do this. The country needs healing.

If they've already resigned or withdrawn, too bad. My BBGs will find you, bring you back to the federal building of their choosing, and throw you out of it.

Imagine Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito framed against a crisp blue April sky as they soar out the SCOTUS front doors.

I'm going to run for president in 2028 and one of my Day 1 promises is I'm going to hire a couple big bald guys whose only job is to hurl corrupt pols out of public buildings like bouncers ejecting surly drunks, and then yell "and STAY out" at them as they tumble down the steps.

I think if you want to be the party of the people, you've got to talk FOR the people—*all* the people.

Advocate for them, you might say, when you speak.

I'd prefer involuntary for this guy anyway.

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.

She missed these trials by a few months.

One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.

I feel such a hole inside.

In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.
