Calling Vance "the most ordinary man imaginable" is so softly savage, you have to admire it.

If the baseline argument is young men are just unevolved gorillas, which is what the defense of those men boils down to, why aren't more men offended at being likened to animals. You're cool with that? You're SELF LABELING with that? Okay. Why are unevolved gorillas in charge and not in zoos.

If the argument for women should know better than to go into a rape den like a frat house, explain to me why a rape house like a fraternity is allowed to exist at all.

the funniest thing about the "we don't trust the media" people is that they will trust literally anyone else. like, if you have an image and text, they'll buy it. shaking keys at babies type logic.

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.

44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.

i suppose i’m not surprised that it is difficult to make people care about something that is low visibility — the vast majority of people have no idea who piker is — and low salience. i think we’re also going to find, for similar reasons, that the anti-trans messaging isn’t working either.

Chuck Jones' Rule 8. "Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote’s greatest enemy."

The trolley problem. The road runner is on one of the trolley tracks, and Wile E. Coyote is in charge of the switch.

When he throws the switch, the trolley falls vertically through the tracks. A trick of the perspective means he is actually underneath, not beside the track, so he is flattened by the trolley.

This is why I hate people reducing the upswing of fascism and bigotry to 'da culture wars'. Hegseth used transphobic slurs in public, he didn't 'give a culture war speech', that's just transphobia. It says a lot about where we're at that a public official can get away with this.

It's very weird that people continue to do this thing with appearances, it's self-soothing to reassure themselves that of course their attractive parasocial faves aren't monsters. But it's extra weird when they can't notice the salient issue of his appearance is that of the Asmongold lifestyle

People have been sharing pictures of Michael Tracey and going "lol being a despicable piece of rapist-enabling shit ages you" But he doesn't look older than his age. He looks *slovenly*, disheveled, greasy and unwashed, smelling of sour sweat and ass and stale fast food and unbrushed teeth.

Right! It's not a "we should go back to doing this" sort of melancholy, more like "human lives were played out here, people laughed and loved and fought and died, and all that remains to tell their stories is a slumping barn with a flag." That the GOP thinks this sort of decay is aspirational? Uh...

Holding a big well -publicized launch or groundbreaking for a speculative project you haven't actually raised the money for yet is one of the oldest tricks in the real estate grifter book and the supposedly savvy US political press falls for it over and over when it's Trump. Years and years of this

It is possible for very dumb people to plan and plot and they do indeed do so "with all the joy of a golden retriever trying to get through a door with a too-long branch in its mouth" as I've heard it very evocative put. Trump and his cronies are *not* like that; they are purely creatures of Id.

That's where I've been for a while. We can't even reach questions about the death penalty itself because we fail essential predicates such as "fair and consistent criminal justice system" and "reliable death penalty verdicts that leave no reasonable doubt" and, as shown tonight, "humane execution."
