Possibly the best example of American democracy and governance in the era of Trump.

Incredible Facebook slop ad I just got
Horse pin with an illustration of a horse and the following text:
"Give a man a horse he'll eat in a day, teach a man to horse. and make him drinks water."

Hah, good one. More likely they'd rule in his favor because allowing factual reporting on clearly observable facts would cause irreparable harm to the President's ego.

Imagine being a "director" who refuses to direct his actors, then being surprised and displeased with what the actors end up giving you. And then being displeased with the fucking golden egg that drops into your lap.

The sad reality is that Mr. and Ms. MAGA in Hickory, NC will watch Fox now and think they will somehow be the beneficiaries of the Venezuelan oil theft because Trump is doing it all for the people.

Why specifically would universal healthcare "not work"? *How* would it not work? What problems do you think would crop up with scale, with heterogeneity?

Skyler Hawthorne @dead10ck.dev · 28/07/2026
I agree with your overarching point—that what works in one place does not necessarily work in one population, government, country, etc, may not necessarily work in another—but this is a very general statement.

It's hilarious because it's so obvious that he'd NEVER actually follow through with a lawsuit, because he would be shooting himself in the foot. He just expects everyone to cower before him, and it baffles him when people don't.

Midterms already statistically favor the opposing party, so this would likely have the opposite effect they think it would.

I think you're misunderstanding me. I was replying to the person saying we would wait to impeach until just before the election. They seem to think that somehow this would drive more Democratic votes, when it would be more likely, I think, to drive more Republican votes by martyring their incumbent.

Skyler Hawthorne @dead10ck.dev · 17/07/2026
You think that impeaching the incumbent Republican president just before an election will increase voter turnout for Democrats? I'm not sure you understand humans as well as you think you do.

This depends on many things, and doesn't have one answer--beware of over generalizing, when it's possible there were different circumstances in each situation you've perceived that this happened.

Well, after a bit of research, I guess I was wrong; Apple is indeed spending far less on AI than other similar companies.

I mean, yes, but this is splitting hairs. They also partook in a good share of the demand for AI hardware which led to this crisis.

It's generous of him to say that Trump is even attempting to represent the American people.

Nah, if that were true, Republicans wouldn't go to such great lengths to prevent people from voting in the first place.

Yeah, I know people rightly blame the electoral college for many of our woes, but from an absolute perspective, it's still an astonishingly high proportion, especially AFTER his first term.

I don't know if that really counts after a certain number of other physicians are already providing care. I can't imagine what health conditions would actually be helped by so many practitioners at once.

I don't understand all this crap about Bluesky being a bubble. Even if you took that at face value ... who cares? If Bluesky loses popularity over time, so what? What is their point? We... shouldn't use it? should feel silly that we fell for a passing fad? Like what is it?? I don't get it.

The under-discussed tangent to this: Trump's posts make him sound weak and totally out of leverage If I were hypothetically an Iranian mullah, I'd read that Truth Social post and think "we're winning by more than I even thought" bsky.app/profile/kevi...

I don't think I've ever believed that people are capable of making decisions that are reasonably likely to be in their own interests at all times. But the alternative to collective governing is centralized governing, and the people in those types have a much harder time resisting oppression.

Even if you took him at face value, I don't think this gives him an excuse to dodge responsibility. He is the commander in chief. If he's truly that detached from the military even months after, then he is abandoning his duty. I don't think he realizes that claiming ignorance isn't any better.

I think besides his obvious severe mental decline, this is what's driving all of Trump's insanity. He's still desperately trying to escape the consequences of his life, even in office. And the infuriating part is he will probably get to die before he is held accountable.

So the two agencies would have to work together to nail this down. And the FBI would have to disseminate this info to its many agents all assigned to work on this.

Skyler Hawthorne @dead10ck.dev · 27/11/2025
The FBI knows how to redact files, obviously, but I am guessing that they are not the ones who decide unilaterally what specific information gets to go or stay -- that's the job of the DOJ to stay compliant with the law.

Skyler Hawthorne @dead10ck.dev · 27/11/2025
While I do not at all doubt shenanigans with respect to redacting material damaging to Trump, reading through the emails in this article, to me this just looks like basic coordination.
