If you can’t tell whether or not I’m joking, I probably am. I guess it's pretty nuanced.

I saw a group of goths yesterday in Sweden, complete with pale white face makeup eating ice cream. Despite their best efforts, they looked happy.

Do you think Trump has considered asking Oliver North to get involved in the Iran negotiations? He's got some experience with that and he's married to Fawn Hall - the gang could all be back together again!

In authoritarian cults of personality the leader can do no wrong. When things go wrong (as they inevitably do because authoritarian leaders are incompetent), they blame others, creating hate-objects to distract for their failures. Followers pretend they don't see, "If only they knew," they say.

It’s wild that Zelensky is a joker who became a world leader and Trump is a world leader who became a joke. Anyways it’s great that Maggie kept this for her book. Super helpful.

I figured that his response to the reflecting pool debacle was going to be pathetic, but I wasn't prepared for its being pathetic on so many levels.

Trillion dollar idea - setting up a special index that records an individual's wealth and includes credit for charitable donations. This way Elon could donate ten billion dollars to each state in the union to fund healthcare and still be "credited" as a trillionaire.

Eliminating taxes might be popular to preach but people deserve realism • Indiana Capital Chronicle
It might be popular to push eliminating taxes but it’s also intellectually dishonest and disingenuous.
