god this guy is an idiot. like, a stone cold idiot who sincerely believes that war fighting and preparedness is about having the biggest dick

The American right has turned to Hungary to learn how authoritarians consolidate power.

The American left should look to Poland to see how a big-tent coalition can defeat authoritarianism. It involves multiple parties appealing to different voters.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

I think resistance to extremism requires both confrontation and strategic persuasion. Its’s ensuring that people understand the gravity of their actions while offering them an opportunity to reconsider their stance. But zero coddling. Also some Schafenfreude will get me through these dark days.

You can disagree without making it personal. I’m just pointing out that working for Trump comes with consequences. Doesn’t mean the threats aren’t serious, but choices have fallout.

I agree but also Pompeo chose to work for Trump and now he is facing the consequences as vile and dangerous as they are.

A 17 year old opened fire in a Nashville high school today. Hours before police shared his name, fringe extremist communities correctly identified him as one of their own. He left behind a manifesto expressing unadulterated neo-Nazi ideology that endorsed violent “accelerationst” tactics.

AI doing complex NBA trades now.

It’s clear that some Jan. 6 defendants plotted their conspiracy to engage in violence at the Capitol while still present in their home states. Blue state prosecutors should consider whether they have jurisdiction to charge these crimes since Trump can’t pardon them.

Now this? This? This is doomscrolling.

So far Trump has issued a lawless order reinstating TikTok, pardoned 174 people who assaulted police officers, incorrectly identified the Gulf of Mexico, and the media is so scared they’re not showing the Shadow President’s Nazi salute.

It’s not yet 9:00 on the east coast.

um

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.

There will never be another.

So do it in order and start with Eraserhead. 😉

My dream is to do the Snoqualmie pilgrimage. I am so gutted.

Mark Zuckerberg lamenting about the lack of masculine energy at Meta is the funniest thing I’ve heard all week. Bro, you built a digital Panopticon where people post their brunch photos and tag their exes by mistake. What did you expect, a Fight Club?

Thanks he’s had quite a journey to get to this point!

Meta going MAGA but with their own unique twist. This is a lot. Link to article in reply.

Los Angeles is burning, and the Right’s response is as dry as the hills: no empathy, no solutions, just scorched earth politics from people who wouldn’t piss on a fire if compassion were the cost.

In the 2010s, the CEO of Papa John’s using a racial slur sparked national outrage and nonstop media coverage.
Now, in the mid-2020s, Musk openly retweets white supremacists, and… silence. No outrage. No headlines.
We’re living in an incredibly dark timeline.

I can’t think of a more “official act” than releasing the entire Jack Smith report on Trump’s classified stolen documents case. Let’s go Dark Brandon.

Keith Wasserman: Does anyone have access to private firefighters to protect our home in Pacific Palisades? Need to act fast here. All neighbors houses burning. Will pay any amount. Thank you.

“Will pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Dyson Daniels, aka The Great Barrier Thief, has to be one of the greatest NBA nicknames ever.
