An incisive, deeply thoughtful breakdown by @schaller67.bsky.social on how Trump’s political capital finally dried up and why this bankruptcy is the one he can’t walk away from. Nobody tracks the madness and media spin like @atrupar.com Seriously worth subscribing to Public Notice.

I kinda like the idea of it happening precisely one day before JD continuing his term wouldn’t count as a term for limit purposes. That’d really burn him.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes

A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."

I have to admit, I find Hegseth's "I'm not touching you" version of fascism, where he does white nationalist and christian nationalist things, but always with this pretense that he isn't doing that, even when he wrote books about how we should do that, just so very tiring and annoying.

I engaged with the Harry Potter fanfic years ago, and it’s actually usefully predictive of everything since. It very quickly falls into the protagonist making guesses, assuming they’re right, failing to do any actual tests of those, and then loudly berating people for disagreeing. Familiar, right?

FWIW, I think a fuckup on this scale in time to wreck them electorally was *almost* inevitable from Day 1, precisely because this is the Special Birthday Boy presidency in which there are almost no limits on Trump's madness and every proposed policy disaster has a real shot at going all the way.
