This happened again last week. Four of them this time, near the same stop. Three boys, one girl. Wearing Lonsdale jackets with the Imperial Germany colours (red, white and black) and Thor Steinar belts. It’s getting worse here, but then again it’s getting worse most places.

A really good example of this is how few posts I've been connecting events at Cornell with the women's campus protests going on in India about wide-spread sexual assault. There's no question there would have been mass solidarity between the two movements on ~2016 Twitter.

It feels like an exceptional number of GOP candidates have skipped debates and others have endorsed Dems. Is anyone tracking this?

it’s really frustrating to sit down and write a detailed thing like this, get 1,500 likes and not have @bencollins.bsky.social respond. not even like a “thanks for saying something, i’ll talk to the team.” having to do this labor is shitty. having to beg for basic respect is embarrassing.

The President is weaponizing our government against his perceived political opponents. He tried and failed to indict me when I filmed a video reminding our troops to follow the law. Trump’s abuses of power are chilling and concerning. There must be accountability for his corruption.

Then the establishment got discredited (Iraq War, financial crisis, the ossifying of the meritocracy, the widening values gap between metro elites and everybody else), and suddenly all the people I regarded as fringe and wackadoodle (Pat Buchanan, Donald Trump, anybody who ran CPAC) rose up on the wave of populist fury.

Everybody likes a story in which the little guy rises up to take on the establishment, but in this case the little guys rode in on a wave of know-nothingism, mendacity, an apocalyptic mind-set, and authoritarianism. Within a few short years, a somewhat Hamiltonian party became a Jacksonian one, with a truly nihilistic wing.
