Falstaff had a few words to say about that:

🤬🤬🤬

LOL LMAO LOL Imagine living like this… They set themselves up by forcing a “this is white culture” reading onto S1 and now they can’t enjoy it because S2 will have a black actor playing a knight… I guess this ‘save the West” account skipped over the Sir Moriaen part of the Arthurian legends…

From Omar to Mamdani to Talarico to Haynes to Ossoff, the Democratic Party is the party of serious religion

Thinking about how Rubio is the promised one for the never Trumpers who still think the GOP is salvageable 🤡

I wish Karnes was on here for this lol

“These mean-kid progressives. What is this high school?” *Brags about another man making bank on substack in an attempt to own Bouie* …Sounds real loser-like to me ngl

“When Trump and his voters express that the Dems are crazy and the enemy from within, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put them there”

If you want to move past the sort of abstraction that leads to this kind of callousness and move towards seeing the human face and soul of the Iranian people, I recommend watching an Abbas Kiarostami film. A good place to start: “Where is the Friend’s House?”

Adding “It Was Just An Accident” (2025) to my Iranian film recommendations thread, which has left a lasting impression after watching it a couple months ago:

If you are looking for a “the press sucks and they really suck during times of war” book, pick up Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia.

Douthat painting over all the left-lib options with Curtis Yarvin’s imaginary category to make himself feel better about his complicity

Da pacem, Domine, in diebus nostris, quia non est alius qui pugnet pro nobis, nisi tu Deus noster.

All the MAGA (and their allies in the media) concern trolling over American boots on the ground in Ukraine only for Trump to end up killing innocent Iranian civilians and saying American lives may also need to be sacrificed 🤬

Maybe the defining film image of our current moment:

The Catholic Church quoting the word of the Pope as a legal argument to the Supreme Court like it’s 1178 is kind of funny ngl.

Yeah the question with the gender much more how we manage to divert people from ending up where the x poster is rather than engaging with people there already. It’s much more important (or at least easier) to break the pipeline than to undo its effects.

One of the things that makes the partisan gender gap convo so frustrating is centrists giving preference to men by talking about how we need to listen to their “very real concerns” when the concerns (driven by a bad media diet) are women have rights, can vote however they want, & can say no to sex

By the end of his term, he’s going to look like Viserys, isn’t he?

I’m not a professional ethicist but I think this guy may be a liar

In 2024 Rufo offered $5000 to anyone who could prove Haitian migrants were eating pets. Then he turns around and wonders why the brains of so many people on the right have melted into conspiracy slop

Median Voter strikes again

Hannah Arendt on why social media is not “the commons”:

Bishop Barron is criticizing AOC… bc she criticized Rubio’s Munich Speech… 🤡 Meanwhile the Pope has prioritized the treatment of immigrants bc maybe he realizes the “Western Civilization” defense stuff is just cover for the xenophobic policies of those with actual power to harm right now

Dark Woke.

The Nazi freaks aren’t ready for my woke Hegelian reading of Baelor Targaryen who has to reconcile the dialectical conflict between his conscience and the law

Once again I'm asking Democrats to take their messaging cues from the sitting Democratic Senator who is the most vulnerable for re-election in 2026

Not really familiar with this journalist but read up on him and saw where he has talked about knowing AOC pre-fame and how they use to talk about taking on the Dem establishment together. In 2018 he ran for NY Senate and lost by 15 pts, she ran for Congress and won.

My Senator!

As a Emily Brontë superfan (the best Brontë btw), I’m waiting until the new “adaptation” is available to rent at home because I’m afraid I may end up going full William Prynne

Choose your fighter Dort or Aristotle who said “Empires are not defended by military virtue alone.”

I have a dream!

I saw a “No Kings, Fascists, or Dictators” handmade poster in the middle of nowhere rural Georgia today in a county that was Trump +24 (across the street from that guy is a house that use to be draped in Trump flags/signs to an excessive degree; the owner has taken those down)

Brown Hoodie > Brownshirts

Sure… why not, YouTube algo…

“America’s most influential journal of religion and public life”

For the first time in a while, House Republicans are reading about consensual adult sex, which has given them cause for concern

Me preparing for bed after watching all those trash Super Bowl commercials:

Peasant and Nestrobber, by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, 1568

Stephen Miller is just pissed that Bad Bunny is spoiling the name Benito for him

I’m at the point where I’m rooting for no touchdowns

There was only one “family values” halftime show airing tonight and it was on NBC. A celebration of community, marriage, family, and children.

The set design for the halftime show is incredible

My conservative mother just told me she doesn’t know about Bad Bunny but she is defiantly not listening to the pedophile’s halftime show 🤣

What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss? Anton Chigurh here for FanDuel,

Wallace Stevens (died in 55 so just made it), Marianne Moore, Cormac McCarthy, or Éric Rohmer

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

Hahahahahahahahahaha
