This was me, and then I moved Rome where it’s 39° for four months of the year, and I just said fuck it.

It’s worth pointing out that Ezra Klein’s great fame and success is *entirely* due to his talent for performing this diligent schoolboy affect. And like John Wayne or Clint Eastwood, he’s come to believe in his own persona.

Despicable fucking government.

Trump TS post featuring an illustration of himself as a Christian faith healer

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

Aggressively pushing conservative Alabama grandma kitsch as the national aesthetic is as rock solid proof as you’ll ever get that these freaks are true believing fascists.

That’s what I love to hear!

If you don’t buy the jeans, it’s a sin.

important news:

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap.

I can’t believe it 😭

Hungarian Voters Increasingly Out Of Touch With Heartland America---Will This "Danubian Elitism" Prove To Be A Mistake?

Orbán losing is a huge body blow to the vance/groyper axis, who have spent a long time convincing themselves they wanted us to be like Hungary: tiny, economically backwards, and dependent on outside subsidies

no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend

call me a liberal nationalist but I feel proud to export an American culture of space exploration, multicultural immigrant cuisine, the Black American music tradition, football basketball baseball, NY Jewish comedy, land grant universities, and social libertarianism

Just checking back in on this, anyone know how the test went?

The singular goal of all future US politics is to ensure Trumpism is defeated and cannot again take root here, and everything that serves that end is to be considered and prioritized. It's a holistic organizing principle, from a Green New Deal to Nuremberg 2 to expanding the court to Reconstruction.

No surprise. Sodebergh has always loved tinkering and experimenting—often with forgettable results.

I thought that was the dulcimer Peter played on King of Birds (and later in a promotional video for Accelerate), but it’s not. It’s a zither or autoharp. I wonder what he was doing with it.

Less knowing cruelty and more adolescent resentment that they have a responsibility toward out groups. This makes persuasion more difficult, because they are not political, but reveling in a social transgression, like unprotected sex or drunk driving. The consequences are someone else’s problem.

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

Powerful Americans are decadent hedonists and totally indifferent. Ordinary liberals are the most engaged of my lifetime. Conservatives may scoff at Trump or this war, but remain all in on hatred of cultural enemies. The politically passive are overwhelmed and cannot accept responsibility.

I think he’s referring to the US.

What it all boils down to is whether we can get to Nuremberg this time without passing through Hiroshima and Auschwitz. It's really that simple.

Yay, the President didn’t blow up the world today.

i'm glad he's backing off. i'm also really sick of this shit

Hating myself for genuinely believing that we were all *finally* past this Lucy with the football shit.

I know it's cliché to say but I really don't know how I'm supposed to go about the rest of my day knowing that the president of my country is threatening to commit genocide against an entire nation today

Sleeping one hour, then checking my phone to see if my country has started a nuclear war, then lying awake for several hours unable to sleep, then checking my phone again.

One thing I should like to say on this day which may be memorable for others as well as for us Germans: In the course of my life I have very often been a prophet, and have usually been ridiculed for it. During the time of my struggle for power it was in the first instance the Jewish race which only received my prophecies with laughter when I said that I would one day take over the leadership of the State, and with it that of the whole nation, and that I would then among many other things settle the Jewish problem. Their laughter was uproarious, but I think that for some time now they have been laughing on the other side of their face. Today I will once more be a prophet: If the international Jewish financiers in and outside Europe should succeed in plunging the nations once more into a world war, then the result will not be the Bolshevization of the earth, and thus the victory of Jewry, but the annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe!

Trump today vs Hitler’s infamous Reichstag speech in 1939

Good. Fuck him.
