the hollywood standard for men going from like “modestly fit [well known actor in his late thirties]” to “a body fat percentage that puts you on the verge of death” is probably bad and underpins a lot of rw subcultures i think

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

This is the answer whenever people complain that Kamala Harris's "mistake" was that she didn't have the right policies or say the right words. The voters who decided this election knew hardly anything about her, what she said, or what she believed, & had no interest in finding out

i was ranting to some marxists last night that one of the reasons that the left kept on failing in the 20th century was that leninism and maoism became seen as a skeleton key to success and so ppl kept on cargo culting it if a similar thing happens with trumpism, lmao, critical support ig

You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration. Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

"Can Trump just kill the federal goverment? Do his EO violent the impoundment act?" You bolt awake in the East Portico. You are not online. It is March 4, 1869. You are Ulysses S Grant, and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. The stimulus must be significant

I don't think Trump is being blackmailed or bribed by Russia. I think he genuinely believes that a richer, bigger country should be able to do whatever it wants to smaller neighbours, and that Ukraine's defiance of Russia spits in the face of some imagined gangster-capitalist proper world order.

When it’s over, there will be attempts to spin an epic narrative about this. Realist IR theorists will come up with some balance of power BS, the media will try to make it some kind of operatic tragedy, etc. Resist this. It was stupid and pathetic and senseless. Don’t let them gaslight you.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

It is frustrating that criticizing this line of attack is perceived as "defending the Democratic Party", who I am not particularly impressed with or optimistic about.
