The United States as currently governed is the precise enemy of the rule of law at home and internationally.

I mean.

Limiting child care costs as a percentage of income IS very much what she campaign on, and that is very much NOT “universal healthcare for the many by taxing the wealthy few.”

“Tesla said that it delivered 1.64 million vehicles in 2025, down 9% from a year earlier. Chinese rival BYD, which sold 2.26 million vehicles last year, is now the biggest EV maker.” Music to my ears japantoday.com/category/bus...

Corrupt tech billionaires are buying power to tilt the world in their favor. Even the co-founder of Y Combinator is saying it. ⬇️ The radical death cult rising from Silicon Valley venture capital is metastasizing rapidly. It's an existential threat to democracy and humanity.

This is so funny. Also Bari Weiss pillow princess conspiracy time?

Trump's hand is fake. His real hand was removed. The insiders all know it. Signatures with a fake hand aren't constitutional.

The Plot to Enslave America

The first principle of a lot of the American upper class is impunity for their own, and #MeToo violated that.

In the last half of 2025, the President of OpenAI donated $25 million to the SuperPAC MAGA, Inc — the single largest contributor

marking the date to look at their ad load this time next year. it's gonna be gold. literally. they will be selling gold coins to people, not cars

The conservative mind has been ruled for a generation by the fantasy of a brilliant, principled liberal who is led by the spirit of honest inquiry to a humble, weeping conversion to conservatism. And since that has never happened in reality, they have to pay each other to perform it for them.

"in these trying times, many americans are struggling to eat at home. which is why i'm flying to napa and london to do segments on cooking with thomas keller and heston blumenthal"

If I am looking at historical Southern Baptists that call themselves knights and ride around in white capes, I'm looking at the Klan.

this isn't some idle speculation! they did the exact same thing for de blasio, who, while certainly not flawless, was consistently popular and cruised to reelection in a landslide, but was portrayed as a flailing joke by the media for his entire tenure in office,

it will not be an argument, it will be assertion - the serious people all know he is a failing joke and you want to be a serious person, right? - and not intended for those in NYC but those inside the anti-reality bubble thats been created for our country's elites to cook their brains on.

starting in six weeks or so, you will hear right wing and centrist commentators on cable news, podcasts etc start to refer to Mamdani as if it's obvious that he's failed, extremely unpopular etc. its very important in order for their plot to succeed that any left wing pol be discredited

AI cannot take accountability. AI cannot be “sorry.” You have no control over the outputs of AI if you did not make it yourself, train it on very specific data sets, and create extremely rigorous control methods. Even then the safeguards are limited. The creators must be held accountable

Is there a word for a poetic form in which you critique but do not repudiate a larger body of (your own) work?

Wait really? Bro this looks like shit…

I think maybe we should make control of any corporation follow a structure somewhat like copyright, maybe? Like if you founded the company, you can, if you choose, maintain sole or primary control of the company until you choose to cease day to day leadership of the company.

This is a WORD. An on time word even.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

It is urgent to remove major media properties from the control of small groups of 12 to 0 billionaires (or billionaire wannabes)

Does he mean the independence of every part of the federal judiciary except the one he leads?

I need to get more serious about applying to video related jobs in places that aren’t NYC. Or at least building my portfolio to do so after grad school.

Black people from the Midwest are so great and special.

I do think all political spouses should be visibly annoyed by being a political spouse.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

"we're here to inspect your daycare center"

The president insists he's just "blinking" whenever the cameras catch him dozing off at public events.

So tired of the “you are associated with socialism, yet you spend money. Curious!” school of ‘journalism’. Hang it up.

I am just in the airport for a connecting flight but I like Detroit.

This culture of ‘be your own boss’ exists because we’ve reconstructed the role of ‘the boss’ into someone who gets paid to do fuck all.

This is the main thing. They view competence as a threat because the social compact of the elite is based heavily on laziness bsky.app/profile/maxp...

The liberal consensus for years was that Palestinians existed outside of liberalism and human rights frameworks and Mamdani, among others, are the byproduct of the underlying shifts in public opinion and the opinion of liberal institutions.

All other things put aside, the fact is that just a few years ago the views Mamdani holds on Palestine would have rendered him persona non grata and now they do not. The establishment has to contend with him. To what extent he then in turn has to contend with the establishment is still undetermined.

It is just true that elites are lazy and bad at what they do. Which means the people who trained to work twice as hard to get half as far are now working four times harder than their spiritually mothballed competitors and were therefore getting as far. Ergo Trump’s re-segregation campaign.

i read this and i just see a lazy person with a skill issue

When I look at journalism as an institution, I see the same contempt for excellence--for excellence as a practice rather than a series of evaluations & checkmarks--that has infected every institution in proximity to wealth & power.

so old i remember an entire summer where obama had to distance himself from jeremiah wright. i dont think the msm has ever once asked trump or vance about yarvin.

…they letting dogs with no vests on airplanes now?

I mean, if Trump had been President of the United States, yes, Jesse Watters’ side would have won.

This is the most openly racist administration in my lifetime and the press still refuses to use the word "racist" while covering the racism. Even when the regime is gone, we'll never be able to trust the MSM, organizations, and people who enabled this by refusing to name it.

For folks still struggling with the math: There are ~345 million US citizens. There are ~245 million white US citizens. This is what they mean by "Peaceful ethnic cleansing." Their plan ends with deporting all non-white people. Not "undocumented criminals." Not even "all undocumented people."

Winning a second term saved his fiscal life

Drafted one poem that was missing from the book… discovered I have to write another poem for the book. The circle of life.

When will movie people learn that it is not interesting to watch things not happen with a slow zoom and some vibey music?

I think I’m maybe losing my taste even for gay white film and tv. I had to turn off Hockey Gays. And I’m even annoyed by the beginning of Dead Gay Stiles Straight Twin. Cinema as an art form is very irritating to me.

Swing voters were deaf to Trump's promises to remake America through radical xenophobia, but that does not mean he did not promise it. Voters elected Trump to make them rich. He told them he would do much more, & he is. If we pretend that didn't happen, we only doom ourselves.
