I’ve avoided watching Love, Actually for 20 years. Either this isn’t a Really Great Movie, or I’m not in the good headspace necessary to appreciate it.

Timothy Snyder’s powerful final line of his book: “If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny.” We hope it doesn’t come to that. But history tells us that alone we will be crushed. Together, we can win. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/history-is...

Dune has the same plot as the Westminster Dog Show: After generations of careful breeding, we have produced this perfect little freak of nature and now it has behavioral issues

At Oakbrook mall on Friday in a heavily republican part of Dupage county. It was overrun by a sea of Canada Goose coats over Alo wear, dropping Benjamins like confetti. Three weeks ago (when the economy was the same) these people were saying eggs were too expensive under Biden.

Possible step toward an HIV cure. Current treatment eliminates active virus from the body, but reservoirs of dormant virus remain. If treatment is stopped, the virus reactivates. A new method "shocks" dormant HIV out of hiding, allowing hidden viral reservoirs to be eliminated.

This guy, like 300 of his colleagues, is codependent. His whole persona relies on someone else. He’s sitting in the cuck chair.

As I consider how I’m going to contribute to The Resistance 2.0, I’m reminded of something attributed to Teddy Roosevelt: “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”

DJT proposes an ‘outside’ board that can clear out top military leaders who he doesn’t like. He nominates a loyalist news host as SecDef who’ll replace them. Can we call this what it is: gaining control over the military so that it can’t stop him from taking complete authoritarian control?
