When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it". Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense. (Source: RB Hubbell)

Looking at the 2024 crime figures, it's absolutely insane how Trump, tech billionaires, and centrist pundits fooled everyone into thinking Biden had turned the U.S. into some Hobbesian hellscape. 50-year lows for violent crime, armed robbery, property crime. Second-lowest homicide rate.
ourworldindata.org
How have crime rates in the United States changed over the last 50 years?
Both violent and property crime are far below their 1990s peak, but some crimes see periodic rises.

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Of course. No one wanted this war. They wanted food and health care and energy prices to go down. Now all those things will cost more. It's a war of folly by a doddering old man who likes when things blow up and needs to distract us from the child sex ring he's connected to.

In the spectrum of horrific attacks on human beings, you’d think that war crimes and crimes against humanity would be bad enough, but it looks like only the word “genocide” has any currency…. That’s how morally deadened western societies have become to the carnage in #Gaza.
