I saw a guy at the gym wipe down his girlfriend's treadmill after she was done. That's love!

Apropos of misogyny and incels, thinking about what a criminologist said of serial killer Arthur Bomar (who was engaged!): "This is a guy who really hates women, and despises them, and wants to punish them, and wants to feel virile, and feels that he deserves this. This is his way of getting back."

It shouldn't surpise anyone that the Pope would be in conflict with American Christian nationalism, especially over the matter of Catholic immigration to the United States. Moreover, the leading Catholics of MAGA tend to be anti-Second Vatican or crypto-Protestant.

The type of malaise I had once associated with affluent Asian men is apparently contagious. Just like the locked-down cities came to America, so too have the men without motivation, beyond gambling and video games. For so many men, it's supremacy or slow self-destruction.

Comparing the longevity of non-monarchy regime types from the late modern to present period, the People's Republic of China (1949-present) is the most successful authoritarian regime - exceeding the Soviet Union's duration (1922-1991). However, democracy is more durable e.g. the US, UK, etc.

IDEA: Stop covering politics like its a fucking sporting event. The GOP spending cuts don't provide an "opening" for Democrats to attack. They are either going to harm people or not. Journalism is supposed to be about informing people.

Mass-casualty terrorism has come to Vancouver, Canada. The deaths could be in the double-digits. It's tragic that every major gathering on streets and sidewalks must be protected by obstacles and bollards.

This common, immature, and tiresome, "but Laken Riley didn't get due process!", argument reduces to the following: Why are agents of the government held to a higher standard than criminals? We hear it whenever there is police brutality. We hear it whenever special forces commit war crimes.

I remember the hot summer days of 2023 when analysts were forecasting 2025 average quarterly earnings per share of $1.40 for #Tesla , not $0.40... And $TSLA can't even do $0.40... Europe needs to create its own EV consortium and alternative to Waymo...

The Trump regime blaming "deep state actors" for its malicious incompetence is reminiscent of Stalin blaming, wreckers, counter-revolutionaries, and saboteurs, for the failures of collectivization... Conservatives who are not pro-Trump might as well be Old Bolsheviks...

One aspect of Trumpism is that it's incoherent. It's contradictory on its own terms. You can only watch FOX News, and notice the contradictions. It's progressives' "define a woman" bedevilment writ large. An example? Vance's interview with Amari... unherd.com/2025/04/jd-v... 1 / 3

History, even recent history, tells us that tyrants and would-be tyrants always overreach and that their excesses bring about their downfalls. And yet, the deranged display in the Oval Office shows us the irresistibility of this tyrannical tendency.

I love that Scott Bessent is being dominated by Karoline Leavitt, when he is the "expert" and Secretary. Bessent will leave the White House with a fulsome understanding of "mansplaining". Love that for him.
