Just got a phone call from a Gen Z friend who had to use a record player in her classroom but couldn’t figure out where to put the needle (the confusion was both that it starts on the outside not the inside, and that you have to lower the cue lever)

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

New: All 50 states have now introduced right to repair legislation. A really amazing milestone for a grassroots movement. Wisconsin just became the last state to do it: www.404media.co/all-50-state...

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Legitimately great way to protest. Be mischievous, expose the absurdity, point out that the emperor has no clothes. Take away their power by mocking it.

Progressive western democratic leaders need to pay attention to one thing right now: Trump is doing what he said he would do, quickly. This is a major reason people come out to vote for him. Abhorrent as the promises are, he follows through on them.
