Beef. Gas guzzling. Giant houses. Whiskey. Beer. Being a MAGA man is about conspicuous consumption — especially if it's anti-environmental. But Trump has made these totems of masculinity too expensive. You can't afford to drive your oversized pickup around. www.salon.com/2026/08/28/t...

The high cost of MAGA manhood
Masculinity on the right runs on consumption. Trump made the hallmarks of manhood pricier

Something I was reminded of recently, screens: looking at digital devices cuts down your blink rate and triggers a tight, narrow focus. This physical stress alters peripheral vision, causing heightened anxiety. The antidote, gazing at wide open spaces! Shifts the eyes, therefore the “mood” 🩵💚

In a sense, Mamdani poses the same threat to the political establishment as post-independence states posed to the former colonial powers: Success proves the establishment narrative to be wrong. And they will probably try to sabotage him in similar ways for that reason.

Here's my actual true opinion. The only way to fix all of this nonsense is rent affordability and health care . If people can afford the rent and get healthcare, then they can start and go to work for normal businesses, and write and make art and music. And there can be third places, etc etc.
