Surreal to start creeping into Bush 08 levels without a true GFC equivalent, like things aren't great but they aren't 10% unemployment either

when the market crashes the Ellisons are going to be wearing barrels with suspenders. they will open their wallets and a moth will fly out. they will stop being able to buy normal top hats and they will have to wear surplus hats with the top half cut off and flopped over to the side.

DOCTOR: Nurse, get me the patient info sheet for plantar fasciitis and only plantar fasciitis. 

DOCTOR: Because that is what I am discussing with my patient today. 

DOCTOR: There simply aren’t many surprises when you’re a foot and ankle specialist.

america is an ideal worth fighting for
I'm American, but I talked to some Germans on a train platform in Chicago last weekend. They spoke very highly about their experience of buying legal weed, getting stoned and eating at Raising Canes.

Again - the Roberts #SCOTUS is the Hormuz problem for Democrats or anyone concerned about democracy in U.S. It doesn’t matter what agenda Dems have, they’d be negligent if they don’t plan to act on an all out push to reform, rebalance (expand) to rein in the MAGA Court when they get back in power.

oh so this this guy's an ancient, visibly mentally decompensating lunatic you wouldn't trust to run a lemonade stand? nobody could have predicted
In his second term, Mr. Trump seems even less restrained and more incoherent at times. He uses more profanity, speaks longer and regularly makes comments rooted in fantasy rather than fact. He keeps saying that his father was born in Germany when in fact he was born in the Bronx. He repeats an invented story about his uncle, an M.I.T. professor, telling him about teaching the terrorist known as the Unabomber.
He wanders off into odd tangents — an eight-minute ramble at a Christmas reception about poisonous snakes in Peru, a long digression during a cabinet meeting about Sharpie pens, an interruption of an Iran war update to praise the White House drapes. He has confused Greenland with Iceland and more than once boasted of ending a fictional war between Cambodia and Azerbaijan, two countries separated by nearly 4,000 miles. (He evidently means Armenia and Azerbaijan).

Pundits forgetting that thermostatic public opinion swings exist was the most bizarre throughline of 2025. Even though we saw a “woke backlash” to Trump 1 and an “anti-woke backlash” go Biden, the commentariat assumed we entered a new, stable reactionary public opinion environment.

Man, we're gonna *lose* lose this war, aren't we? My opening assumption was a strategic defeat but tactical stalemate that Donald would spin into a win in domestic politics because we killed a lot more of them than they did of us, but this is gonna be like if Vietnam and the oil crisis had a baby.

What it feels like our pundit class can’t grasp is, the war will continue to strangle the economy until the Iranian government is replaced with a friendly government. Simply destroying it won’t work. Now, quick: name one bombing campaign in history that flipped a government from hostile to friendly.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

I am as explicitly as possible laying down a date-stamped marker that a federal immigration agent is going to die violently within the next calendar year, and that this will retroactively be used to justify policy. I am saying it here so I can angrily quote this at media figures when it happens.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen. Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo. Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

man breaks off a relationship with a woman bc he has to "replace key elements of my wardrobe"
Text message to a woman reads: "I'm about to start working overtime for the job I love, I am looking to find a replacement job for the one that just doesn't feel right all things considered; I have to fix my car, I have to replace key elements of my wardrobe, I have to address problem areas of my house and work out a plan for my brother's arrival in the coming weeks. I do not feel good saying this but I am realizing I'm in no place to keep you hanging on any line because I have a lot to take care of for myself right now."
