There won’t be a sycophantic successor in a movement built on shows of dominance. To be The Man you gotta beat The Man.

To be The Man you gotta beat The Man. Trump will undermine anyone from within his movement he thinks may challenge his leadership while he’s still around. (even out of office) There can be no succession planning, just a scramble to fill the vacuum when he’s finally gone.

Photo of a peregrine falcon about to teach a brown pelican an important life lesson: keep your distance from the cliffs at Torrey Pines in the spring! The peregrine's talons are out and her eyes are locked onto the pelican's beak. The pelican has its wings extended and is banking away, but that's like a minivan trying to outmaneuver a Lotus: ain't gonna happen.

Photo of a peregrine falcon grabbing a brown pelican by the beak with her talons. The pelican is not a fan of this game of "Got yer nose!" and is banking away. Fortunately the falcon is far enough out that most of the impact force will glance off and the pelican can keep flying.

More peregrine on pelican action from yesterday. Don't come into her house: she'll drag you out by the nose.

Seems to me this is the entire reason these services exist. It’s basically fake polling rich people can directly influence.

“ Why isn't Al doing the tedious shit for creative people instead of the creative shit for tedious people”

I always think of this quote when I see discussions on AI use

To be fair, it’s entirely possible Americans can hate ICE even more.
