I dunno, I really thought a bunch of 20-year-old fash dipshits whose previous experience was trading Pepe the Frog memes were going to have a solid handle on how US government staffing and procurement worked.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

I feel so haunted by the old “haha Brooks Brothers Riot” framing. Ultra-wealthy creeps who do not go to national parks, fly commercial, buy groceries, ride the subway, get normal healthcare, need FEMA, or send their kids to public school are looting all those goods, plus all our data.

"Beanless coffee" is a cutesy euphemism for artificial or synthetic coffee substitutes and I hope food and beverage journalists reject using it.

I didn’t think the Democrats were going to save us, per se, but I did not expect them to lie down on the floor and mildly complain about the smart heels of the fascists trodding upon them.

the NYT deeply dishonors Sam in death. Long ago I began expecting them to spite us at every turn, but this is remarkable. I can’t help but draw a comparison to Shepard. The headline first published about his death by the NYT in 1998 named his identity because it was part of the story.

Since January 28, Warren has voted against every nominee, but unlike @schatz.bsky.social, she has not placed any blanket holds or consistently objected to unanimous consent. With a few minor hiccups, Senate has been business as usual.

The deeper tougher problem is that this was Bernie's entire career and 2016 campaign and the structural Democratic Party reacted to him like white blood cells attacking a foreign invader.

i also do not understand the democratic rhetorical thing of always asking questions. "we need more clarity on the faa firings" feels like weak sauce to me. "trump is gutting the faa so your plane crashes and your family dies" just make the accusation instead of trying to impress debate judges

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Mike Davis wrote The Monster at Our Door, a book on how we have created the ideal ecological conditions for a devastating avian flu pandemic. when Covid happened he wrote an update where he was like "this was practically a best-case scenario compared to H5N1." just something that fills me with dread

I think it's both depressing and telling how many Americans (including many members of the elite media) view "masculinity" basically in terms of being an abuser and are excited and thrilled to sign up themselves and others for more abuse.

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.
