This is a huge part of it. A certain irritating YA novel author in early 2022 said "Russians don't want war, any more than Americans wanted the war in Iraq" and before anything else I just want to point out that Americans did, in fact, want the war in Iraq.

My new Tangent “Daddy Politics" is about the psychodynamic and cognitive-linguistic reasons everyone hates freedom and wants to be vigorously spanked like a bad little girl. Up now on Patreon: www.patreon.com/contrapoints...

Here's the latest episode of Better Offline. I'm joined by @internetofbugs.com to talk about the realities of software development, what coding LLMs can actually do, and how the media gets it wrong about software engineering at large. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

As funny as it is that of all the different things that people have called Trump over the years the one that gets under his skin most is being called a chicken, I do not actually want to encourage Trump to double down on terrible ideas.

It's hard not to notice that all those brands that had rainbow logos for June suddenly are quiet now. They never gave a shit about us at all. But they were happy to take our money. #Target #Budweisser

A reminder that “America First” is a Ku Klux Klan slogan.

You millennials think you're so much better than us boomers, I dare you to read this clock I just drew.

You do not have to hand it to the fascist who is dog whistling about how lgbtq people are inherent outsiders. Also there are lgbtq plumbers and electricians. What she said was unambiguously bigoted. You're clearly trying to sanewash ignorance for moderates.

Democrats have tons of hobbies unrelated to politics, such as getting chemo, drawing funny looking clocks and going to their colleague's funerals

I don't know if laser hair removal would work for me. My hair is made of follicles and not lasers.

Gavin Newsom has been taking yoga lessons lately to clear his chakras to better appeal to the center but he messed up the lesson of learning to suck his own dick, overshot, and wound up shoving his head up his ass.

my d&d guy is a green Mage who specializes in summoning off-Leash pitbulls from the doggy day care dimension . and using him is not politics

I think Bluesky might be less "dying" and more "not currently attracting the interest of whoever was shitting the place up with conflict bots a month or two ago"

The woke left uses too much impenetrable jargon. They need to update their priors before a black swan ends their epistemic closure.

Habeas corpus is a legal principle that allows prisoners to challenge the legality of their detention. But in this South Dakota plastic surgery studio, they're not so sure.

We in the press need to do some real soul-searching over our failure to talk more about Biden’s memory lapses. In the meantime, we’re going to completely ignore Trump’s obvious advanced dementia and even more obvious personality disorder.

A clearly insane and cognitively diminished President Trump rambled at length about a far-right conspiracy theory in front of the president of South Africa at the White House yesterday. Now here's eight articles about Biden's halting pauses and memory lapses.

Analysis | The Republicans' tax bill is projected to add another $3 trillion to the national debt, topping the $2 trillion from their last tax bill. But they also laid off a bunch of park rangers making $50,000 a year, which means they're still the party that cares about deficits.

Donald Trump‘s deranged Memorial Day screed against federal judges raises two serious questions: When exactly was former president Biden diagnosed with cancer? And why has he not held a solo press conference to address it?

Each White House has its traditions. For JFK, it was Camelot-themed cultural gatherings. For Trump, it's holiday-themed rants against Democrats, judges, and political undesirables. Each is part of the festive cornucopia that make the American presidency so delightfully idiosyncratic.

On X, most of my replies are blue check neo-Nazi repeating insane right wing conspiracy theories. But it’s still better than Bluesky where people sometimes give me a hard time about not using alt text.

Never let centrists make you stop conflating Trump with Republicans in general because they are utterly inseparable. A few "educated" "respectable" "very serious Republicans" who all live in the DC suburbs and write op-eds are utterly irrelevant. The Republicans are a fascist, stupid people party
