remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.

Biden in September 2022 was the target of far more fervent hatred from the Anti-War Activists than Trump is in September 2026.

The way you show you’re an enlightened person in the US is to go on and on about medical bankruptcies and beef prices and climate collapse and gas prices and precarity and data centers and how no one will ever own a home. Everything is terrible and getting worse, it’s the one thing we all agree on.

I react very poorly when any proposed policy or plan is met with "but what if someone like Trump gets hold of it?? then it would be not good, but very bad" because there really is no law or institution that can work when a population is willing to elect the stupidest, worst asshole alive

The Biden dementia theory has been conclusively disproven, as has the theory that he didn’t use leverage to force Israel to accept a ceasefire (which they did multiple times). No one will ever admit they got these things wrong.

Trump is sort of the bizarre apotheosis of this dynamic, because he needs to simultaneously assert at all times that he is an immortal, all-powerful god emperor and also that he is being sabotaged by the evil deep state which he can never fully defeat

A great illustration of the way social media has essentially shredded society’s informational immune system: The USSR spent a fortune trying to spread conspiracy theories, without success because they couldn’t crack newsrooms. Today, you can reach the globe with a post that costs $20 to make.

A lot of it is also conservative media baiting him into shit he'd otherwise never think of himself. I remember before the World Cup some conservative jackass asking him: "Are you going to do anything about cup going to Seattle because of all the ANTIFA there? Maybe move it to a "safer" city?

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.

Also, he purged the Kennedy Center of a collection of African art that was given in tribute to JFK, but he installed this, from the Tony Montana Meets Saddam Hussein Collection.

Indescribably, almost parodistically ugly, vulgar, gold-foil relief art, straight out of a dictator's cocaine palace, of Trump raising his fist and saying "Fight! Fight! Fight!" after having his ear grazed by a bullet, and of RFK Jr. with some croaky quote next to him. The art pieces look like something you could unwrap to reveal artificially flavored chocolate from five Easters ago.

If libs care about it, then by definition they’re wrong, so you have to either ignore the stuff they’re very much obviously not wrong about or else define the stuff in such a way that not caring means you’re cool and the libs suck.

What I really fucking love about Hot Fuzz is that it is a rare piece of artwork that unapologetically defends liberal modernity. A representative of the impartial, uniform rule of law & depersonalized state beings justice to a lawless, backward community run by a wretched clique of local grandees.

The Natalie Harp story is very instructive about the state of the coverage of Trump. Many legitimate questions raised, none answered, and the press more or less just moved on as she is continues to be weirdly ever present at his side.

What if China had reserves of oil and refined petroleum products that they’ve been drawing down in response to the Iran war, rather than secret “we don’t need oil anymore, we just didn’t act on that for reasons” powers? Would people believe me that the global supply crunch is a real problem then?

The evil AI copied itself onto the internet! No stoping it now! That's just Skynet or Ultron. Those stories rely on magic, and the audience suspends disbelief because the plot is cool. Makes no sense for AI that needs giant datacenters or live connections to them. Can we deal with reality, please?
