I fancy I know a bit about language, and I can tell you specifically that JD Vance’s choice to voice a false criticism of Ukraine’s diplomatic efforts to date—one probably derived from the Putin-humping Nazi forums he frequents—caused the meeting to boil over in such a dramatic way.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Have we asked Elon Musk this question? He hangs out in the Oval dressed far worse.

seems like this isn't being covered much, but your income-contingent student loan options just disappeared entirely (supposedly temporary, but you're not allowed to let these lapse, so losing the 20/25-year writeoff? not that those ever get written off!)

Very telling that there’s better coverage of this meltdown in Ukrainian language media than in the US press, whose traditional leaders were barred from the room by the White House and whose other representatives are under the influence of cringing billionaires.

Didn't want to know he was crazy, because you wanted the stupidly expensive, popular thing that you thought others would envy you for. Maybe that was too long for a bumper sticker?

this was always coming. Elon wants contracts for the things he broke. and sometimes he just wants to take other people's contracts.

If we're not for empathy, no one is. ""There is a moral here for progressives: The more they can activate empathy in the public, the more support will be available to them and the worse conservatives will do." - @george-lakoff.com The Political Mind (2008)

McConnell's legacy is grim - he fought campaign finance reform, stonewalled Supreme court nominees - but what stands out most? More than any single person, he had the chance to end Trump but chose not to do so, even as he understood the risk Trump posed. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

I was (stupidly?) not prepared for how busy the grocery store would be on Valentine's Day. Grocery store flowers, really?!? So disappointing.

Buried in an article about Trump's plan to pave over the grassy area of the Rose Garden is the news that he has a framed copy of his mug shot mounted on a wall of The White House. Completely normal stuff.

I drove by this dealership late last night, and I may have muttered some choice words and flipped off the row of ugly go-carts made for men with tiny penises. Maybe.

google has become quite terrible, but if you're also a Rebecca, this should amuse you out of curiosity I googled "bad Rebecca," b/c one of you made me curious what horrible person I might share a name with, and the third result was for a woman named RACHEL

This is how fascism works but many Americans seem to support or find it funny sadly - the mainstream media and politicians need to take their share of responsibility though in terms of asking why so many people dont like or trust them anymore!
