Karl Rove says Republican Party is being taken over by 'Nazis'
The Bush-era GOP political operative also said Republicans would be winning the battle for Texas' U.S. Senate seat if John Cornyn was the nominee.

Republicans have learned the lesson of Watergate: double down, triple- or quadruple-down if necessary, but never concede Nixon if he were alive today: "What's the big deal? All we did was break into the opposition party's HQ and steal stuff, it's not like we had them rounded up and executed"

anyway, the American id understander himself, Hunter S. Thompson, the next week for goddamn ESPN of all places. the party's over, folks.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."

Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history -- which is no doubt true -- but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a war-time economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.

That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. The time has come for loyal Americans to Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. That is the new buzz-word in Washington. But what it means is not entirely clear.

These James Baldwin words have been ringing in my ears for months. “To be a pessimist means you have agreed that human life is an academic matter. So I'm forced to be an optimist. I am forced to believe we can survive whatever we must survive.” badfaithtimes.com/i-cant-be-a-...

I'm sort of losing my mind at the backlash against @hausofdecline.bsky.social 's "bloodless quant" cartoon. I feel like I remember very distinctly that people complaining about the cost of living were being told, repeatedly, by the commentariat that they were imagining things, charts incl.

A leading indicator for Democratic electoral success is “moderates” who pivot to being “deficit hawks”. The spigot is wide open when the GOP is in power. As soon as Very Serious People see the prospect for the Democrats taking even a modicum of power, they are “very concerned” about spending.

Whenever we say "Dems need a spine" it sounds meaningless. But this is what it means. Next time your GOP "colleagues" ask, "hey, you coming to the seersucker photoshoot", you say, "No, but I'll talk to you about undoing any of the countless atrocities your party has committed this year"

The problem with a lot of TTRPGs is that the designer really wanted to write a novel. The problem with a lot of novels is that the author really wanted to create an RPG sourcebook. Maybe we can work out some sort of exchange?

Stop calling the leisured provincial gentry "working class"
About 25 miles southwest of Wiggins, Jim Miller was elbows-deep in the engine of his ailing Dodge pickup.
A 65-year-old retired commodities broker raised in the liberal city ‌of Boulder who ⁠now lives in tiny Prospect Valley, Miller considers himself “half-hippie, half-cowboy.”
He said enduring the momentary pain of high gas prices was worth preventing Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon.In the unincorporated town of Roggen was Mike Urbanowicz, a 66-year-old trader with multiple college degrees whose farming cooperative moves 150 truckloads of grain each day.
He voted three times for Trump, but like many interviewed by Reuters, he ​considers himself a political independent, saying he distrusts ​the Republican Party nearly as much as their ⁠Democratic foes.
Gas prices were hurting his industry, he said, and Trump was “naive” to think he could quickly solve the issue. He expected prices would remain high into the fall, even if there was a breakthrough in stalled U.S.-Iran peace talks.
But he preferred the status quo to Democrats, whom he saw as moving ​towards "full-blown socialism."
"I voted for Trump because the alternative is so bad," he said.

people who haven't lived in a corrupt state or mafia society think it means that everyone breaks the rules means the rules don't exist, when the reality is that everyone breaks the rules and it gives the corrupt authorities total discretion about who to punish and when.
