The thing is it's not my job to consider the moral implications of calling you a nazi, it's your job to not do so much nazi shit that I feel compelled to say it

Just saw someone post "I dilute myself into thinking" and I am FASCINATED by the implications.

I live in Lawler's district and I can tell you people LOVE him for the SALT cap raise. He runs on it, people put "Mike - Thanks for the SALT!" signs in their yards. It's the one unifying thing people point to as pretty good. If she can puncture that, oh man. She might actually have a chance.

Ossoff is definitely not listening to Yglesias/Klein/PodSave reactionary centrist crowd, he does not think his marginal voter is a white-supremacist, and that is what makes him such an attractive candidate to the vast majority of US who are not white-supremacists.

This debate performance is really going to help Ossoff stand out in the 2028 pack specifically because "does not eat shit in a debate" is going to be a top qualification for so many Democratic voters

It is genuinely wild to me how much of the reporting on Hurricane Isaias is focused on the impact it could have on college football. Even when they DO talk about how historically late it is for a first hurricane, and the climate aspect and its implications, the major impacts are all about football.

I think about this every day at my job where after 30 years of relentless knowledge acquisition and being in the room when things went wrong taught me mountains about how to do my kind of work, often by having not been nearly as good at it as my peers who were, frankly, inventing the discipline.

Federalist Society says what..?

Mike Jurney @jurney.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Yes. It will also feed the many, many LLM-backed systems of dominance and control the federal government kicked off building when DOGE stole and aggregated essentially all existing federal data about US citizens. There's a reason they love these tools.

Mike Jurney @jurney.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Huh, look at that. She thought MAGA mainly hated libs, but it turns out they actually like white people more than they hate poor people. Because they're first and foremost racists. Yes, all of them.

Mike Jurney @jurney.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Similarly, people treat 9/11 as if it was a natural disaster and not a profound professional failure of the republican government that was in power at the time. Kind people that I like and respect said things like "I didn't vote for bush but I'm glad gore wasn't in office on the day...". Maddening.

I swear I'm going to lose my mind when the democrats get back some power and refuse to fight for anything that matters because "that would make us as bad as they are." No shit, idiots. Be worse.

"After having run the table for the last 10 years, massively pulling the entire society in a direction that almost everyone except for the tiny extremist minority I'm a part of hates, we're starting to lose momentum. Now is obviously the time for everyone to focus on compromise."

NYC is a pretty good metaphor for the whole country, honestly. The vast majority of its people are more-or-less focused on living a good life and building a generous society for everyone, but they can't because they have to deal with Staten fucking Island which hates having to be a part of it.

And to be clear at the root of this is the MAGA demand to be liked. This is about people not caring about *country* music, the discussion isn't genre-neutral. The antebellum South insisted not just that they keep slavery, but that the north acknowledge that it was fine and good for them to do so.

Mike Jurney @jurney.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

This is a really good point, is the only major genre where engaging with it regularly puts you in direct conversation with MAGA and its people. If you avoid that sort of thing, you're implicitly avoiding contemporary country.

Put as gently as possible, Americans cope poorly with information density. The display on the left might as well be blank for the overwhelming majority of us, even those of us who regularly ride public transit and use displays like these to navigate it.

Here's the thing though. One of those people thinks the other is incorrect but the other thinks they're *illegitimate*. There isn't parity between "woke" and "right wing", one demands the extinction of the other by violence if necessary.

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

I spend a lot of time wondering why the 20th century went the way it did post WWII, and I think about the kind of men who lived through the intensity of it versus those who didn't and who their lifelong friends were. And then there's this fucking guy. Gross.

The thing about trying not to pick a side is that the nazis *instantly recognize* which side you picked. They immediately identify you as an ally. They know exactly what side you're on. It doesn't fool the victims, it doesn't fool the Nazis, the only people it could possibly fool is centrists.

Again and again these people show up in the republican world and the problem isn't that they're nazis exactly, it's that they're Waffen Weebs who love that edgy nazi aura and nobody has slapped any sense into them yet. And if nobody does, well, that's how you get actual nazis.

In the UK in 2024 Labour had a massive victory, and gained a 170+ seat majority in parliament. The achieved absolutely nothing, because their leadership was garbage. It won't matter one ounce whether or by how much the Dems win congress if people like this are put in charge. Garbage leadership.

"Waffen weebs run the day to day operations of the Republican party" is something almost everyone knows, but somehow has no consequences ever

Mike Jurney @jurney.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

The uncomfortable truth, which we see glimpses of all time, is that the republican party's staffer class is stuffed to the gills with waffen weebs and there isn't a single midterm republican campaign that doesn't have at least a little knot of people on the payroll that have had a 1488 username

Mike Jurney @jurney.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Wow, charging people $88k for a picture with trump at the convention fundraiser sure is a very specific kind of choice for a republican party full of waffen weebs.
