Feels like it's time to start the rumour that Musk has had Trump fitted with a neuralink prototype and can make him say whatever he needs to.

It’s remarkable how quickly the Trump team has sabotaged all the things that actually made the U.S. influential on the global stage. Free trade economics, strong diplomatic networks and alliances, the soft power of democratic culture and values, the hard power of a competent military …

I thought a Project 2025 backed Trump administration would be lawful evil rather than chaotic stupid, but it was always going to be horrifyingly destructive. I will be permanently astonished that anyone voted for it.

Oops 😬

Suffering is a necessary part of life, because it tells you something is wrong and forces you to do things, but gratuitous suffering obscures that signal and is little more than pathetic self-mutilation. Suffer when needed, but only when needed.

US politics right now feels like watching the iceberg scrape along the side of the ship and wondering what's going to happen next.

The PM says, "When it comes to the wellbeing of young people ... I want Australia to be one of the leading nations in the world." Spare me. One in six kids live in poverty but instead of raising the rate or building public housing Labor's ramming through a social media ban. We see you.

dems: burning billions of tons of fossil fuels is heating the ocean and will cause freak weather events to become normal events gop: that’s insane (freak weather events become normal events) gop: the democrats have a secret hurricane spawning machine

I have no particular insight into Biden's cognitive health, but I'd really love to see someone deepfake Biden and Trump giving each each other's speeches and see what the commentariat made of it. My bet: "Trump steps up on policy detail" / "Biden's decline accelerating".

2024 be like...

When I read Hitchens "The Trial of Henry Kissinger" the thing that disturbed me about it was that very little of it was "Kissinger did this bad thing". Most of it was "Kissinger was in charge of US foreign policy when the US committed the following war crimes..."
