I knew I never could be him, so I always wanted to be Mitch. Just the weird little guy who got to stand close to greatness.

Fascists really love their dreams of autarky. Sadly, that's been an achievable goal for any society, going at least as far back as the dim-witted and overhyped Spartans.

Being a cynic doesn’t make you savvier than the average person, it makes you an easy make for lies and bad faith arguments. Over the last ten years no one has been more cynical than the political press.

If we are to have any chance, this is only the start of their lamentations. Dems are a fundraising organization & investment firm that dabbles in political, badly. Until that changes, expect nothing but bitterness and disengagement. Their real fear is losing their ticket to insider trading.

The train IS safe. The train IS clean. Well, in Manhattan, anyway. Usually.

We thought ourselves a powerful culture. You will never see art like this again in mass media -- it's just AI trash forever.

Disrupting the airline industry by disrupting airline operations. Genius at work!

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

The end of "The American Century" is here. No ally should ever take the US seriously again as an alliance partner.

I have taught my Freshmen consent checks for things like "taking pictures of each other," "touching each other appropriately," & "playing music in class on their Bluetooth speakers." If they can figure it out in a few months, you can figure it out over the course of your whole fucking life.

Based entirely on "use of strings on the OST," Sailor Moon S is far and away the best season.

Folks need to abandon as soon as possible the mental framework that processes and laws and norms and pointing out hypocrisy is going to do a tinker's damn about this coup-in-progress. We're in a Pompey the Great era: "Will you never cease prating of laws to us that have swords by our sides?"

The difference between 8 million dollars and 8 billion dollars is roughly the difference between zero dollars and 8 billion dollars. That's the scope of a billion. Now, scale that up again to understand a Trillion and the stupid nothing achievement this witless, vain asshole is chasing.

Not the first or the last to point this out but making the end of a Phillip K Dick novel government policy is way too on the nose.

The fruits of pardoning Nixon. The entire right wing infosphere & attack on Fairness Doctrine was because they unfairly treated by objective reporting. What is happening now is the rapid payoff from that project. The Democrats as they now exist are unequal to whatever comes next.

I thought this was ostensibly the whole point of spending more money than everyone else on the globe on the military. To be guarantor of security. Are we, then, going to draw down this expansive global military whose goal is no longer operative? eyes 400m "Tesla Tank" contract Oh, okay.

It is my birthday. My gift to myself was bullying my best friend into talking to be for 2h30m. I am content. Pleased, even. And, to think -- I almost forgot to call him.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

"The most bankrupt kind of originalism." Tied for 1st w/every other kind of originalism. This was always the play with that ideology & anyone thought otherwise is a rube. Listen to @fivefourpod.bsky.social episodes on the Federalist Society if you want to know the political origins of this shit.

One of the ironclad rules of history appears to be "if you do not punish your insurrectionists, they will come back."
