My favorite part of primaries is you get to vote for your guy and one of them is going to be the winner and all the shit people talked online won’t matter as the party will unify around the eventual nominee is sober recognition that they’re better than the alternative no what happened in 2016?

Telling my clients.

And it was sold out weeks ago. Shows me for waiting to buy tickets.

Honest to god, they just don’t believe in public health.

1) obviously fuck that guy and his terrible opinions. 2) anime avi twitter is a cesspool and it took effort not to be negatively polarized against those people.

Sure, but who could have predicted this? *reads contemporaneous reporting and policy analysis from mid-2025* Oh, everyone. Everyone predicted this.

Perhaps the best, by that i mean the worst, exemplar of NIMBYism. Concentration camps are cool, but not in my neighborhood

My basic threshold for whether to take pundits’ sense of what’s newsworthy is the heir contemporaneous treatment of the Clinton email shit.

This is an incredible account of a system doing its best to function. Hard not to view this as its own thing and not as an exercise in comparative politics.

This first part of this take—AGI is impossible—never made sense to me. You have to imagine there’s something metaphysically unique about gray matter to argue that running consciousness on silicone is impossible.

Au contraire! Nirvana is only achieved by asking to speak to the manager!

The USSR was definitionally a multicultural economic zone.

The mongol empire was a multicultural economic zone.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

Have we confirmed this isn’t AI?

The average dem voter should never forgive The Party for forcing Harris/Walz to stop calling these people weird. They’re fucking weird.

Proton pumps in his cells cease functioning. Malinin dies instantly.

Has anybody checked whether David Foster Wallace is in the Epstein files?

Been on the “wealth corrupts” train for a while, but still truly shocked.

[pulls out the Broad Brush] I think this lack of understanding is essential. “Understanding” is a pink job—mom’s job. One only tries to understand another to achieve comity. This administration sees empathy as weakness. They strive only to dominate, to which “understanding” is an impediment.

Really starting to feel like I’m the only person Epstein didn’t email. I have to live with that.

It’s very important to note that this claim of a pre-balkanized American culture is utter bullshit. American culture was always multi-faceted, but white people suppressed the spread of the non-straight WASP facets and claimed they didn’t exist.

Capture every ICE standard in the Teutoburg forests outside Minnesota.

AJC readers can now go through the annotated FBI affidavit used to seize Fulton County ballots on January 28.

The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.” The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there. jessica.substack.com/p/theyre-com...

This New Yorker piece about Claude is in turns scary and hilarious: www.newyorker.com/ma...

Like yes, definitely seems like we’re going to pull some shit with MX. But also, it’s a ten-hour drive from El Paso to Houston? Insane. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/u...

Good article; could perhaps be expanded with a discussion of Ivan Ilyin as background to the Russian stuff.

Joan Didion died and left us with these losers.

Here's what Republicans think is "unrealistic" 1) Need a judicial warrant to enter private property 2) Require verification that someone is not a US citizen before sending them to immigration detention 3) No masks 4) No secret police: Officers must have ID 5) Keep enforcement away from

This is an incredible thread. “We lost the women” and their entire oeuvre is weighed against “we lost one guy, however foundational.” It’s like this is so many spaces.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Everything’s going to shit because Vance and Thiel are ineligible for the Christmas Adventurers.

Police unions are protection cartels employed against civilian oversight, irrespective of the conduct or beliefs of individual members.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

And people. It’s also hurting people.

Derek Thompson? Really? That’s disappointing as hell.

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

“Reddit was swamped with information about Minnesota, as anti-ICE posts dominated the main feed, and appeared in discussions of just about any topic. Knitting, biking, comic books, pop music, you name it.” www.liberalcurrents.com/nonpolitical...

Jan 6, 2021. Activating his non-state followers to attempt an auto-coup. My wife made an excellent analogy that Trump’s entire tenure in national politics has been posting road signs, “13 miles to Fascism. 10 miles…” 1/6 was when it fully arrived. Everything since has been just horrible.

Go to “FoodandVibes”‘s page. That’s not a real person.

John Yoo… where do I know that name from…?

This clip got lost in what has been a truly gruesome week. But it deserves a home. How Tears for Fears developed “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”. 🎸

I wasn't sure what to expect from a group of Democratic state AGs, but I definitely was not expecting a long monologue about Ruby Ridge and the Boston Massacre www.theverge.com/policy/86588...

Trump: "The situation in Minnesota reminds us that the west cannot mass import foreign cultures which have failed to ever build a successful society of their own. We're taking people from Somalia and Somalia is a failed -- it's not a nation. Got no government, got no nothing."

“How dare there be women I don’t want to fap to.”

Understand the emphasis on the menace of the Trump admin. But also, would prefer they also run op-eds on how they’re all losers whose wives are fucking their friends. Stephen Miller was cucked by Musk.

It was the class war. Where Did All the American-Born Roofers Go? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/14/u...

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

A real jerk, if you ask me!
