The destruction of the broad Western alliance and NATO is a feature, not a bug, of this recent misadventure in the Middle East. This is a desirable outcome to the current guy and his masters.

When is the last time the Times went this in depth with actual poor people as subjects?

Why?

Can you imagine if a moderate Democrat spoke the way Hasan Piker does? I can. Something tells me Piker's worshippers wouldn't be cool with it.

Can you imagine if Kamala Harris had been a professional mercenary with a Nazi tattoo? I can. Something tells me Platner's worshippers wouldn't have been cool with it regardless of the explanation.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash.

ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to.

The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty.

Budgets are moral documents.

If Ellison's purchase goes through, he's going to give DC back to Snyder and it's going to fail miserably while making his loud, terrible fan base really happy online.

I'm sorry, I can't remember your spouse's name. That space in my brain is being taken up by a shocking amount of trivia about Darva Conger for some reason.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

It is shocking to me that we don't structure things this way. We can opine all we want, until PA, MI, MN, AZ, GA, and NV speak, we don't know much of anything.

And that's why the first states to have primaries in any given cycle should be the states from the previous cycle with the smallest margin of victory one way or the other.

The most important information we could possibly have at any given moment is which Democratic candidate is preferred in the states most likely to win swing states.

Long Gone Before Daylight

incredible how white men are given the benefit of the doubt when anything coming from marginalized groups are treated with utmost suspicion and distorted beyond recognition

Extremely Online Leftist Malcontents are among my least favorite people. As responsible for our current state of affairs as MAGA is.

I think everyone needs to consider getting very, very into the Olympics. We used to do that, and it was fun. I think Pairs Figure Skating is ELECTRIFYING and I don't care who knows it.

This album is not getting any love on end of the year lists, and that is WRONG. It's so fucking fun.

I don't think people are properly appreciating how effectively the Republicans will be able to deploy "fraud is out of control in MN state government and we can fix it" against Walz and the DFL. Even though that isn't exactly true. Voters are not that savvy. It's a powerful message, and it works.

That ballroom is going to be a January 6th museum some day.

I think, as I had been thinking previously, that normies should not talk about The Thing That Just Happened (whatever that thing may be at any given moment). Keep your world small and your thoughts on the immediate.

Talk past them, keep the focus on being kind and helping people, and let their talking points reveal themselves to be absurd. I don't think we have the discipline, but this is what we should do.

I think the real answer to changing the next generation is to not give the Bad Guys a foil. Don't engage on their terms, and really don't engage at all.

@hayesdavenport.bsky.social For your new coffee thing, get a mokapot and a battery powered frother. Cheap and satisfying.
