Want to know where Hegseth got this hypermasculine and toxic ethos? Look no further than Doug Wilson, the self-proclaimed Christian nationalist and spiritual advisor to the Secretary of Defense.

Pete Hegseth dreams of holy war. Meet his spiritual adviser.
Doug Wilson preaches iron discipline and male dominance. One of his disciples runs the Pentagon.

News media fail. Hey @nytimes.com, this isn't a real headline, is it? Because it's incredibly stupid. Does @jamellebouie.net agree with this choice? The question isn't "Why," it's "How is the Felon Allowed to Act" (at all)? You are part of the reason why. You are not part of the solution.

Very productive meeting with President Xi for both the U.S.A. and China. Tremendous things will be happening. Like almost everyone else, he seemed to like calling the poorly and inaccurately named Artificial Intelligence to a far more accurate and important name, SUPER INTELLIGENCE. That would be “SUPER!” Everyone last night agreed, also. President DJT

This is the finest piece of reporting I've perhaps ever read by @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. What it reports on is about 10 years too late, but the press media's failure may be an awakening moment. It even had a bit of Maureen Dowd. 1/2 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/u...

The accuracy of @kornetzke.bsky.social ‘s description of the Felon becomes more apparent by the minute. You can smell it.
Oliver Kornetzke 
Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul-all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been-arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul-it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.

🧵Early subscription libraries in Yorkshire emerged in the 18th century. These libraries allowed middle-class members to pool money to buy and preserve books. The most important example is The Leeds Library, founded in 1768 and the oldest surviving proprietary subscription
