For those playing along at home: To give the appearance of action on the impacts of his humiliating blunder on the world stage, the President of the United States is making a humiliating blunder on the world stage by bailing the Russian president out of a humiliating blunder on the world stage.

My office has handled a lot of sexual harassment cases. “Her shirt was too tight” “She drank too much” “Why did she put herself in that position” “She was asking for it.” No. No. No. No. It’s not HER job to be on DEFCON 5 at all times. It’s HIS job not to be a predator. ~ Attorney Ryan

the thing is that your initiatory society seems like it's discovered something real on the day you actually summon up a devil from the vasty deeps, so the digital eschatology which preceded the invention of the LLM has been rewritten such that the LLM is the object of that prophecy

If he ordered the National Guard to start entrenching themselves on the Mall west of the Washington Monument people would rightly and immediately clock it as Bad, and yet this is Trump back-dooring the modern equivalent to flak towers from Nazi Germany into every illegal project and we get shrugs?

In a 2 party system politics can sometimes be very simple. Saying “don’t vote for the Democrat in the general election” reduces to “I want to help the Republican win.” There’s no other practical interpretation of the sentence.

It’s mind-blowing that we have literal white nationalists in the White House carrying out unfathomably cruel, abusive, white nationalist policies, and the punditariat has spent the last two weeks debating if some people were too intemperate after a Black man was murdered by cops six years ago.

I'm so fucking sick and pissed off that now the Trump administration is hiring "war influencers" because that's how bad the war is going. War influencers didn't exist before but they do now thanks to our two failed fucking tv hosts.

I’ve been working full time to stop this war since last summer and the one scenario I feared the most is materializing — Trump is making a play for Venezuela’s oil. I’m not saying an insurgency will definitely form, but Trump’s ploy creates the perfect storm for an absolutely disastrous occupation.🧵

“Nobody is losing control of an emerging intelligence. They’re redirecting their own agency to the thing they are building.” It’s a myth, a self-affirming form of sense making: they take the action to build it, but insist on describing it as if they are passive witnesses to an inevitable force.

The Coolidge coin is actually quite a rare collectible precisely because the public didn't like it and the Treasury eventually melted most of them down. As a result, the rule against living persons on coins was instituted soon thereafter.

Everyone hated the Coolidge coin at the time. Gerald Ford was President for the Bicentennial and there was no Gerald Ford 200 dollar bill that year because the law that you had to be dead to be on the money was instituted because of the Coolidge coin. I’m Canadian and I know more than Bessent

One reason people would be surprised to hear that Trump has left Iran’s “military alone” is that earlier this month Trump said he had “completely destroyed Iran’s army,” and that “every single ship they had is resting underwater at the bottom of the sea.”
US President Donald Trump commented briefly on Washington’s role in the US-Israeli war on Iran while signing a proclamation on children’s physical fitness at the Oval Office. 
“We beat them very badly, now they’re reduced to little boats with machine guns in front of them,” the president said of Iran, repeating early claims about the destruction of its navy.” 
“Every single ship they had is resting underwater at the bottom of the sea,” he said. Trump says US has `completely destroyed Iran’s army’

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

Whatever happens with this conflict in the next 5 years, which will surely be very bad, we and our children also have to look forward to the consequences in 20-30 years. There’s no way the US doesn’t end up paying a tab beyond the initial military losses and financial costs for this.
