One of my coworkers was waxing nostalgic about how the guys in his old car shop used to haze and prank each other, I’m thinking sounds like a terrible workplace. educated people should run society, guys who think sacktaps are funny should not be in charge

I’ve been thinking for 2 years it’s weird that Vance as a young energetic guy *could* try to take the reins, impose order on chaos, considering how trump being out to lunch creates a power vaccuum in the White House. But he’s a total non-entity

Clear your mind and think of the frog.
A big frog stands next to a small person. Text reads: "bro don't even worry about it ok - just look at me, the big frog"

the Roman stuff and the Bible and Federalist papers and so on etc etc are also all “don’t do this.” They didn’t miss the tiny clothing tag that says wash cold, they blew through multiple “bridge out” signs while gunning the engine

There’s historical examples of mass hysteria and you wonder what the non-hysterical people felt, like there any analogy that makes this make sense or is this disorienting because it’s new

I dunno Mike duncan podcast made it seem like the violence was from a collapse in authority and chaotic breakdown in social norms, and mass hysteria or paranoia. The mark twain quote about two reigns of terror is great but actual rioters get swept up in a crowd and don’t think so intentionally

He is trying to do more and more taboo things and greater or greater and greater acts of explicit violence in order to feel anything inside

Orphaned kittens meet sharks and stingrays on an aquarium field trip at the Mall of America
Rescue kittens with names like Turkey Leg and Mouth Trap got to explore the aquarium at the Mall of America in Minnesota, watching in awe as fish soared by just out of reach.

I was listening to a random podcast pre Oct 7 by a guy who left Israel and he was like imagine if the worst people in your society were in charge, not just generic bad leaders but the worst gutter scum, thieves, thugs, crooks, racists. Didnt feel good hearing that before the 2024 election

It’s really hard to find downballot info below the level of congress or mayor! even local newspaper guides will show half the races as “candidate didn’t respond to survey.” no news articles, no candidate website. local orgs do 2 or 3 endorsements and won’t have info on smaller races

it’s an important cause on its own but I havent seen articulated what Palestine has to do with socialist economics or green environmentalism. If the dsa or greens number one issue is health care and they have their own policy agenda, it’s not clear why that should be subordinated to a foreign cause

I mean I’m not Christian but it seems non-standard that “everyone goes to heaven, hell isn’t real but is just people who reject god being stuck in their own stubbornness”. Seems underdiscussed

The average older American Jew (Mandy patinkin, Brad lander) has lived under pluralism their whole life, believed Israel was a mini America with the same pluralism and is recently bitterly disillusioned

If it wasn’t Iran it’d be war with Mexico crashing the economy. The *whole point* of Trump 2 has been driving the car at 120 mph with no seatbelts. We’ve been lucky there hasn’t been a larger measles epidemic or a bird flu pandemic.

The TikTok ban where trump instantly backpedaled is instructive. had an immediate visible impact on ppl’s life, voters were pissed because no one expects Congress to pass laws anymore. Politicians not prepared for backlash etc. not sure this applies to policy the gop really wants like abortion ban

Isabel fall was mostly attacked by fellow writers in the same scene IIRC. Professional jealously or factional rivalry is dark matter for this stuff more than people want to admit

Kugel is not good though because it’s a casserole. It only exists to be easy to throw in the oven. It’s good when someone made it for you with love, but as a cuisine item or recipe it’s not good

Politics is made of messy humans, you can’t treat a coalition like legos and just mechanically remove one block to gain a better block

his theory is we need a new coalition to win back the chuds because Trump is winning too many chuds. Not my view but this is what all intra dem fights have been for 10 years, do we win them back with health care or Bidenomics or slopulism or affordability etc. high school ed is 60% of the country
