Some of us always meant it, but yeah, I was just commiserating with an old Reason colleague about what a disappointing eye-opener the Trump era has been. If we’re not all-hands for this, if we can’t see an authoritarian emergency this obvious, who are we even kidding?

I am so tired. So utterly exhausted with life. I honestly don't know why I keep doing it. But I will continue to aimlessly do life. For some reason.

Vance is like "We kidnapped the wrong dude and sent him to a foreign gulag, and are refusing to comply with a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling to fix it. What is everyone so upset about?"

As a biologist, I'm appalled at pride the White House takes in willful ignorance. In yesterday's executive order about NPR and PBS, their first example of "the trash that passes for `news' at NPR and PBS" is the statement that "banana slugs are hermaphrodites." But this is unequivocal fact.

This is what I was talking about before - the WH has been letting in more softball MAGA reporters who just want to help them advance their message. And it no longer publishes transcripts so to see how lazy and easy the Qs are you need to strap in and watch.

The administration is looking for “nuclear verification” in a deal with Iran, meaning that they apparently won’t be trying to get Iran to stop enriching uranium completely. You know, kinda like we had in the JCPOA that Trump pulled out of in his first term. Absolute clown show.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Still struggling with just how avoidable this was, and how the years of warnings were ignored. At this point it feels as it will still get much worse before it gets better, so a key challenge now is to imagine then work towards a world beyond the horror of the present. That’s my aim, at least.

The imperial presidency is finally eating the Constitution. Arguably every modern president has repeatedly violated the Bill of Rights under the guise of national security. Now a president is shredding Article 1 and Article 3, too.

Finished another knitting project! Cable knit blanket. Not sure if it was supposed to have a pattern--started out without one, and then about 1/3 of the way into it, a pattern sort of randomly emerged out of the variegated yarn. Nifty. About 1.5 months of work here. On to the next!

so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines. this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.

Yep. I’m hopeful that he’ll learn something from the market rebounding when he paused tariffs, but the fact is that he’ll probably only learn how easy it is to manipulate the market.

China just announced 84% tariffs on the US. There is no winner in a global trade war. This isn’t a negotiation, it’s an economic pissing contest that is going to ruin the economies of several nations if people don’t get their shit together.

People keep saying, "Back it up, legal or not," but it looks like a 1 petabyte drive costs ~$15,000, so unless you've got spare cash, it's not that simple.

Interestingly enough, if you take the top 10 largest dollar drops, the entire chart is Trump and Bush 43. Weird how Obama and Biden aren’t on there, despite the growth of the $DJIA over the years.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.
