I like baseball, good food and drink, and the beach. I also very much dislike living through a Sinclair Lewis novel at the present time in history

I keep trying to introduce my kid to new music. And it seems 90s Liquid DnB has taken hold… I’m so proud

JFC! We’ve had two terror attacks today. Gas is over $4 a gallon. The economy is crashing/ there’s a regional war, THAT WE STARTED, kicking off in the Middle East… WTF is anyone listening to Melania Trump talk about anything!

I mean, I agree with the sentiment…but you’re forgetting something: the people running FIFA are craven corrupt lickspittle assholes. You’re more likely to see Ronaldo walking around in a MAGA hat than anyone from FIFA making a negative statement.

Look, at this point there are two sides. If you’re against MAGA you’re on my side. Hell, even Churchill and Stalin made friends for a bit

These agents assaulted a woman violently for not justifiable reason. Then assaulted him with pepper spray, again for no justifiable reason. Before dog piling and beating him…again, for not justifiable reason. Every aspect of this encounter is unjustifiable and criminal.

In regards to the video coming out of MN: Yes, it appears very clear he was disarmed (of his legal firearm which he was not brandishing) before being shot. But as important, and needs to be yelled loudly: the entire interaction from the jump is completely unjustified.

JFC. This makes every part of it somehow even worst

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 24/01/2026
This is actually kinda important as it raises an important question: why was he being tackled by a dozen agents in the first place?

Oh ya. Feel very blessed in that sense. Got to hit my adolescence when grunge dropped, discover Industrial when Wax Trax was at its peak, and finish my teen years at raves with Frankie Bones and Plastikman. Was a cool time to be young

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
Got this album when I was 13. 1993. Was just getting into Industrial music, and this was back in the day before the internet so you basically had to take the word of the cool teenagers who worked at the record store. This song and Testure left an immediate mark on my psyche

Trump just shared private messages where Macron meekly asks “My Friend” to “do great things together” and then asks him out for dinner. Trump posted it online to laugh at him. Appeasing the criminals running our government won’t help yours. If that sounds condescending, it’s not. It’s a warning.
000
Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Fine. Then feel condescended. I don’t care. The NATO SecGen and former Dutch Prime minister literally called Trump “Daddy”. If being condescended to makes European leaders start acting like leaders and not toadies, I’m happy about it.
000
Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
I’m not sure what this means the context we were just discussing. Not even sure what’s condescending here. He commended Carney and reiterated that Trump is both a coward and full of shit.

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Yes. It is starting, and I appreciate that. That’s good. What we don’t need is anymore lavish state dinners full of praises, nice text massages to “my dear friend” or NATO Secretary Generals calling him “Daddy”. They need to finally understand that it will win them nothing and cost much.

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Guys. Drop the primitive nationalism. This isn’t about ‘saving America’. It’s about defending liberal democracy from the global rise of fascism (which, fortunately, would also save America). A quick lesson from history, by a German dissident in 1938. This is the actual message.
000
Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Ya. IDGAF about specifically helping America. I GAF about defending liberal democracy and stopping the global rise of fascism (fortunately, doing that helps everyone…including America), and history shows appeasing it is death by lethargy (for everyone).

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
You’re not going to rescue anyone. Nobody is asking Europe to fix anything. People who care about the liberal democratic world order, from Seattle to Berlin to Moscow to Istanbul to Jakarta need to Sydney, need to be united against the global rise of fascism. Part of that is that not humoring it.

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
This is why 10 years ago I used to refer to him as ‘Cheeto Chavez’. I don’t think many people got the reference, but it seemed so obvious. It was all so familiar.

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
And Europe being a strong and united advocate for the liberal world order and against rising fascism is important. If America is going to be a villain, they need to be a hero. Else the future will be worst for everyone

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
And I don’t care if you like America. I’m not a nationalist and I don’t take validation from how much anyone likes Americans. I don’t care. I don’t even particularly like Americans. What I want is a strong international united front for liberalism and against the rise of fascism.

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
To be clear, I (and everyone *in the world* who cares about the liberal democratic world order), needs there to be a strong and committed Europe who will stand strong and forcefully for those values when America fails. We’re (liberals of the world) are all in this together, we need to act like it.

Who said it was? FFS, I don’t care about praise or whatever you’re talking about. I care about having MAGA discredited and destroyed. So should you!

Whatever you’re upset about here…isn’t something anyone said.

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
People talking like the checks and balances failed…they didn’t. The voters failed by handing every branch of the federal government over to fascist criminals. If you stack the Supreme Court with Heritage Foundation judges, put Johnson in charge of the House and Tillis the Senate…what you expect?
000
Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
It has nothing to do with blame, ffs. Stop being nationalistic and defensive. We’re in this together, and it is important for Europe to stop kissing his ass (which thankfully they are starting to stand up some).

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Do you think he’s (we) aren’t?

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
What else you expect? It’s infuriating, but the press at these events are ass kissing sane washers.

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Because they’re also mostly cowards and asskissers as well.
020
Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 21/01/2026
Unfortunately now we’re at the part of the evening where the European press will inexplicably kiss his ass and sane wash away…which is actually more infuriating than his speech.

It was a good time to wake in 2016. That’s the thing. I mean, I feel you, if you’re talking to anyone remotely reasonable, you’re preaching to the choir.

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 19/01/2026
I was having this conversation with my dad yesterday. He said “When are people going to wake up?”. I said, “I’ve been awake for 10 years now! Anyone with half a brain cell has. Anyone who hasn’t yet…idk. Idk if they ever will until it’s literally crashing around them.”

You guys need to get mentally prepared for it, because he’s probably going to invade Greenland within the week

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 19/01/2026
Guys look. We’re invading Greenland in the next week. Just might as well mentally prepare yourself for that

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 18/01/2026
A rapid deployment force, whose focus is Arctic Warfare, is being sent warning orders…while the president is threatening to annex Greenland. You sure they’re going to Minnesota?

One can be tempted to think this is a good thing, but that it’s not 9-0 is itself disconcerting. Being in a situation where the only thing preventing Trump from using the military to occupy states is Brett Kavanaugh.

Jimmy O @jamesossipov.bsky.social · 20/12/2025
I think you kinda have to accept that we’re currently living in a de facto dictatorship. We turned the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, and the presidency over to Donald Trump. This is all exactly as expected.
