Got another stay of execution of my impending twink death (for objectified by a drag queen)

Raising taxes to pay for expanded and improved government services is literally the opposite of austerity politics. Anti-tax leftism has got to be strangled in the crib before it destroys what scant hope we have of ever implementing a social democratic system in America.

Sometimes I have imposter syndrome about my job despite generally good feedback but twice now I’ve seen genuine incompetence up close, which would be reassuring if it wasn’t so aggravating to work with

Also, the problem is that Republicans genuinely are quantifiably stupid. Like, we have studied this. It isn’t political science’s fault. You can be conservative without being stupid. Bismarck wasn’t stupid. Churchill wasn’t stupid. Lee Kuan Yew wasn’t stupid. But Republicans are literally stupid.

This is correct. There is no future of democratic self government in the US with an unreformed Supreme Court. The Court is riddled with corruption and abuses of power and rooting out that corruption is a sine qua non of civic democracy in the United States.

We must break the supreme court

Cleared to return to work (boo, hiss) & start strength training (I’m about to be insufferable)

:sobbing: the taxation of trade routes is in dispute ::

great speech sir

In Trump we've got the most transparent President in history in terms of saying what he's thinking and talking to journalists on the record. And it's entirely useless because what's happening in his brain is a monkey playing cymbols.

Finally cleared to start PT 🎉

If I were a vast imperial power I would simply not become so hubristic about my military might that I become embroiled in a prolonged asymmetrical war with a weaker power who's fundamental willingness to stick it out means that they can bear not losing for longer than I can afford to not win.

If you see this post a concert photo you took

the thing about dooming really is that this is the same as any bad situation in your personal life. you can't go back to the person you were before it happened. you can try to be better than what you are now

Trump has potentially ended free maritime trade, a literally world-changing development that, if it lasts, may do more damage than anything else he has done so far What a phenomenally, historically evil and incompetent failure The Republican Party is a party of failure, defeat, and idiocy

This is 30

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

when It finally Happens and there is a concentrated effort to run the Charlie Kirk playbook on steroids against anyone who takes glee in it we should just laugh and point to this post

In my infirmity, the cat has discovered the joys of toilet water. We’ve reached a compromise…

The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.

im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Have made the executive decision that the Switch 2 (and pokopia) will be my reward for wrapping up grad school 2.0 this summer

you, in another decade

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

one of the very tiring things about politics from 2015 on is the two tiered system election system where there are real candidates who have to be perfect in every single way and anything in their record any statement can be used to disqualify them and clown vibe candidates who are never accountable

We’ve compromised, he now sleeps on my foot because I’m using his favorite blanket

Gutting state capacity is bad

I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trump’s speech itself. The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.

The frustration of having 24/7 access to a cat and being unable to properly pet and cuddle him (not to mention the bombastic side eye whenever I shift in my sick bed)

There are some shows I have given up on because of the constant constant re-stating of exposition. Exposition is a thing that is definitely needed in normal amounts. The amounts being demanded right now by executives at some streamers is excessive & annoying & has killed my interest in some shows

Sometimes I remember Reagan removing Jimmy Carter’s solar panels and I think we’ve been enduring this shit for way too many years.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Using vogue for the Devil Wears Prada 2 trailer is a little obvious, don’t get me wrong, I’m gay, I’m living, but that is someone’s first idea

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

praying for a snow day tomorrow

Beyond the fact that this bugfuck insane letter was written and sent to the leader of Norway, the State Dept agreeing to distribute it to other heads of state instead of objecting and honorably resigning or at the very least planning some kind of coverup is a sign of deep institutional collapse.

I got a haircut, pls clap
