Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever

I was driving behind a guy in Center City who ran two clearly red lights and I caught up to him twice after waiting for the lights, and maybe by way of understanding his judgment and decision-making skills I should mention he was in a Cybertruck.

it’s cool that we live in a system of social organization such as that one self-aggrandizing moron’s polycule drama has become a matter of national importance

Increasingly tho, with regard to the person of Elon Musk specifically, I am increasingly of the opinion that extra-constitutional problems require extra-constitutional solutions.

For me, not using your vehicle's turn signal is a lot like not returning the shopping cart in that I think you're a beast who doesn't deserve to live in society. Like you can't literally lift a finger to make the roads safer for yourself and everyone else? Go live in the woods and drink creek water.

history is wild, for eg. if Pythagoras hadn't successfully taken credit for a theorem he had nothing to do with, he'd be remembered as a skeevy af cult leader who claimed he could speak to animals, time travel, killed an asp with a venomous bite and insisted that fava beans are literally evil

Truth is the average centrist/apolitical would rather not think about politics ever again and if that means a dictatorship they'll be fine with it unless it affects them personally and directly, and it's only then that it will become a problem, and only if they can't conform to the problems.

wispers People aren't actually trying to be healthy, they're trying to signal that they are virtuous by appearing healthy by the (insanely fucked up) standard of our time. It's the root of all the RFK stuff.

Saving money is only impressive if you can maintain quality at the same time. If I throw you out on the street and say "You're welcome, I just saved you a monthly rent payment" that's not really helpful

The Left is to blame for the rise of the far-right because they refuse to work with their political rivals, unlike us, the moderates in the centre, who are successfully holding back the far-right by capitulating to their anti-immigrant rhetoric and adopting it as our own

What I fear is going to happen is that Trump will be unpopular, we’ll get some sort of weird capital controlled stasis, and what we have lost in the past month plus will never get rebuilt. Just like a new normal of austerity and hollowed state capacity. It’s imperative to deliver a real defeat.

Republicans have drunk their own Koolaid and are acting like the DOGE campaign of destruction is something they got a huge mandate for, but in reality, most of these incredibly extreme and disruptive ideas were unveiled after the inauguration, and Trump won narrowly in any event

Even if it was real, there’s literally nothing the “woke agenda” could do to our government that is half as harmful as conducting massive barely-coordinated purges of longtime federal employees working on critical matters of state

I knew when I saw Kamala lose that libs were gonna go crazy compartmentalizing this one but I am astonished by the way they just are just retreating into fantasy. It's not that the party made midreads, they made perfect reads! And she's president right now, in fact!

A recurring problem for the Democratic party as it exists right now is that the same eight people are calling the shots and they only have so many people in the rolodex, so we get "David Shor, thoroughly discredited strategist, hired to run Kamala campaign"

I can come to no other conclusion than that a decent number of people active in politics would shake hands with and defend klan members if the klan members in question said something like "I'm not a bad guy I just want what's best for america" sincerely.
