the best argument against the "woke excess caused Trump 2.0" narrative is that the administration is almost exclusively reacting to things that are not real

The act of sending loved ones little videos and memes and things throughout the day is called “pebbling” because penguins often leave little rocks in the nests of those they care about as a sign of affection. Today is world penguin day, so if someone sends you this post, know you’ve been pebbled ;)

I wanted to try and figure out how Neil Gorsuch concluded that 'Pride Puppy', an ABCs book about a lost dog at a pride parade that he insists he read, exposes kids to "bondage" and "sex workers." The answers are somehow even dumber than you can imagine. A brief thread:

Guys, this isn't that hard to understand. They remember Trump as the time before COVID and Biden as the time after COVID and the oldest members of that cohort were 21 when Trump took office. They thought a vote for Trump was a vote for pre-COVID times and they got this instead.

Let's say Harris won last year and Vance was holding 10k-20k person rallies where he railed against left-wing "oligarchy." Would the CW be that this was crazy and a waste of time? Or would we be seeing NYT op-eds and A1s about what "oligarchy" is and why the GOP base was on fire about it?

RFK Jr blames diet, lifestyle & vaccines for chronic illness. Dr Oz says it’s a “patriotic duty” to lead a healthy life & be fit enough to serve in the military. Neither of them are pushing for Universal Healthcare, basic income, an end to food deserts & inequality, clean water etc. It’s eugenics

NEW! DHS expands on its defiant middle finger to the Supreme Court's ruling that anyone subject to the Alien Enemies Act must get "reasonable time" to be able to "actually seek habeas relief." They say they're only giving 12 HOURS for people to raise an objection, and 24 HOURS total to sue. Period!

I recall how, in the twilight of his presidency, Joe Biden tried to declare that the Equal Rights Amendment was the law of the land due to recent state legislative action, and everyone either ignored it or said "lolno" and that was that. The press is eager to give Trump magic powers.
