John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 2hWhy does his blazer look like a grocery store butcher's smock? Why does the smock look like it's made of paper, creasing and all? Why, when he clearly had options, did he choose an absurdly incorrect inseam length for the pants? Robin's egg jacket, navy shirt, khakis & black loafers = incel chic. 030
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That's right-wing Cato Institute nonsense. www.factandmyth.com/taxes/eisenh...factandmyth.comEisenhower Tax Rates - Yes they were 90% - Yes The Rich Paid More.In this post, we'll take a look at the Eisenhower Tax Rates. Rates really were 90%. Even Effective Tax rates were higher. The economy was Growing Faster. 0130
Reposted by John DeweyAurelien Mondon @aurelmondon.com · 06/10/2026The prime minister "condemns the phrase "police violence"" as the police attacks young people violently across France It's a wonder why so many people, young or not, feel such a disconnect with those who govern them... The issue is not "populism" or "polarisation", it's mainstream authoritarianism 18126

John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026While, "lying," may have been the trigger, I have a strong suspicion that several very sensitive men have reported the word, "bald," as a slur. 110
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 29/09/2026There's a teensy part of me* that wants Rahm to run, just so that millions of people can tell him exactly how much he's loathed. *OK, not so tiny - I can be petty 010

John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The Venn diagram between them, the, "do your own research," people, + MAHA + Alex Jones/David Icke/Jordan Maxwell et al., is a very squishy circle. 010
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I see it's once again time for my perennial exhortation for folks to watch Pasolini's, "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom," along with Visconti's, "The Damned." ...you're so right - we know how this all ends. 000
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 21/09/2026It doesn't matter. Mamdani is the mayor of arguably the most iconic & significant place in the U.S. [I say begrudgingly]. It's also home to a great many vulnerable people. At best, a meeting w/ Trump is a chance to charm him; at minimum, Mamdani gets a first-hand assessment of his mental state. 020
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 20/09/2026...ICE & immigration enforcement, Wall Street & financial infrastructure, coordination of multiple federal agencies (as in, all of them) which operate in & out of NYC. I seem to recall there was an incident in NYC 25 years ago, where failures in fed-local cooperation were an issue. iirc 040
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I was curious about the context, so I watched the full ad. To me, it seems more like someone noticed a trick of the lighting in that still frame, then adjusted the image contrast etc. to highlight it. As an ad, it stuck me as stylized, aesthetically Idol music-coded & likely for Asian markets. 031

John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I'm starting to wonder if Philip K. Dick was on to something... we seem to be in some sort of compressed time loop. Donald's eol dementia is dragging us all back to redo historical events from his miserable POV. Apparently, we've reached the Bizarro Jimmy Carter phase of his presidency. 110

John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 12/09/2026No, he was in favor of marriage equality when he was still a state legislator. One of my major misgivings about him during the 2008 campaign was exactly that: he began his career by appealing to the left, then moved demonstrably to the right on a bunch of issues as he gained nat'l attention. 150
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I'm sitting here in the U.S., literally wearing a varsity-lettered, "Saskatchewan," t-shirt, and shaking my head in resigned agreement as I think about why I left. 122
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 10/09/2026They're too desperate for his $$$ to critique him in anything but the most limp, milquetoast terms. 000
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Gather 'round, little ones. This is what happens to a person when they consume too much Ayn Rand without a healthy critical lens... 020

John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The ballroom & all the other "beautification" projects really are just big boy Tinker Toys for him. I bet some unholy alliance of influences (family and/or advisors), are encouraging his monomania as a way of keeping him docile & less tantrum-y while they run things. 020
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Looks like his chin to me. Forehead + chin = no headbutting or biting. I bet he's a biter. 0260

John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Putting aside the whole crock o' sauerkraut thing [grudgingly], why is Marco holding a Pop Tart/Toaster Strudel with a bite taken out? Is this a message to the MAHA faithful that Rubio is a heretic? Why are the food choices so... Germanic? So many questions. 1570
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 04/09/2026At long last I can re-experience the funniest sketch comedy scene I've ever seen: Andrea Martin as Edith Prickley presenting Community Calendar & trying to say, "fresh fish fry." 010
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Just looked it up &, as far as I can tell, it's the original six seasons as seen on Canadian TV, NOT the U.S. repackage. Thanks, this is great news! 110
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 03/09/2026That freedom* is the only good reason I can think of for Canada to welcome him back. * Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. 010
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 02/09/2026You're fighting for better health care in the gulags? Huh. I dunno, seems to me that the cruelty towards non-white immigrants is the entire point of these detentions & disappearances, but you do you, I guess. 001

John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Heh. Leather face flexed like he was going to throw hands with Dr. Quack. I can only imagine how much Trump would enjoy the spectacle of those two old banty roosters having a slap fight - he might even forget how quickly he's mouldering. 0100
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Sure, but it's long past time for ostensibly leftist/progressive/liberal voices in Democratic Party leadership to stop accepting right-wing frames. None of this is new; reactionaries tar the left with "anti-American" & "communist" then Dems accede & help push the Overton window right. 040
John Dewey @john-dewey.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Piker didn't say that, "Israel’s actions reflect poorly on Jews worldwide..." What he said was that prominent political advocacy figures in the U.S. are increasing the risk of violence here by conflating anti-Semitism with anti-Zionism. In other words, a well-understood & common sense position. 110
