When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

Whether it’s pictures of Barack Obama reading to a group of children with Zohran Mamdani or it’s pictures of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein on an island full of sex-trafficked minors, occupants of the oval office are making some controversial choices about who they take pictures with.
What a system. Can't have a no-confidence vote for the guy pulling Katrina numbers, but they can pretend they had one for one of the most successful medical interventions in human history.
New euphemism for "pure, unadulterated horseshit" just dropped

Something has to be done about the Supreme Court.
think it’s fair to say that there are still some details that may need to be ironed out
This is the same Joe Rogan everyone in the media has been telling us is turning on Trump and it means everything? Huh.
God help us.

I thought it was all over. What gives?
This is a terrific article
"They were clapping for everything I said" -- Trump completely makes stuff up about Democrats clapping for him at the State of the Union
Trump: "I love Danica [Patrick]. I love her hair. I always liked her hair. I always liked the little widow's peak."
Reporter: If you don’t have a deal by Wednesday, will you extend the ceasefire or restart attacks? Trump: Maybe I won’t extend it… and we’ll have to start dropping bombs again.
Peace when markets are open
War when markets are closed

Vance admits that Trump’s blockade is an act of economic terrorism against the entire world.
Trump tweeted himself as Pope last year.
I haven't seen the news media mentioning this one one today. It's not like Trump hasn't already made an ass of himself when it comes to the Catholic Church and the Pope.
