i was just complaining about this to a friend a few days ago. the punditry is obsessed with this retreat to discourse, where there is an inability to examine the actual phenomenon itself. instead, they engage in language games or treat politics as a question of definitions

The problem with the ‘you voted for the leopards eating your face party’ is that the other party keeps saying they want to work with the leopards eating your face party.

I worked on Pete & Pete for a couple seasons and often drove some of the kids to and from set, this is just crushingly sad. The biggest compliment the show ever gave Michelle was casting Iggy Pop as her dad.

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

Look, man, as someone who's really good at those stupid tests, the idea being smart makes you an asshole—a certain appeal of Rick and Morty to a certain kind of dipshit—is a clear flag of someone who is a tremendous dunce with exactly one thing they feel like is actually theirs they can brag about.

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.

You see the same misunderstanding around the phrase “banality of evil” when they assume it means Nazis were boring when it actually means everyone was a Nazi. No one wanted to be anything else. To not be a Nazi was deviant behaviour

Checked this story about Trump shaking Ukraine down in exchange for continuing military aid to see if it mentions that he got impeached for doing that exact thing, and friends, you will not be surprised that it does not.

We either grit our teeth, scale up our mutual aid, + brace to lose so many people to dungeons, exile, murder, and suicide, or we hit the streets so fucking hard we enter The Cool Zone, which will also require us scaling up our mutual aid, so, scaling up our mutual aid is a good call for right now
