Many don't recognize the personal cost of their own hatred & bigotry.
"Trump allows people to express their racism and bigotry in a way that they haven't been able to in quite a while and they really love him for that. It's a shocking thing to realize people love their hatred more than they care about their own actual lives."
- Fran Lebowitz

From Threads... Carney's actions nicely summed up. Appear willing until you aren't.

Aussie post: At two minutes to midnight, Mark Carney looked at the most powerful man on Earth, checked his watch, and told his negotiators to get on the plane. Fuck this wanker, we're going home. And half the world's press still thinks he stormed out.

He didn't storm anywhere, mate

...

The bloke ran two central banks through two catastrophes, and he's just done the coldest piece of arithmetic in modern trade history: the midterms are TEN WEEKS away, Trump's approval is circling the drain, and every deal signed with that man is worth the paper, the frame, and fuck-all else. Ask CUSMA. He tariffed his own trophy deal over BOURBON SHELF PLACEMENT. So Carney walked, matched him dollar for bloody dollar, and left the demolition to American voters.


...

Why sign anything with a bloke whose signature depreciates faster than a secondhand jet ski? The full evisceration is live now: the Depression-era law he dug out of the shed, the whiskey ultimatum you won't believe is real, and why an empty calendar is the most aggressive document in world politics right now.

King Carney reads the clock. And the clock says November.

I watched Trump's speech at the Correspondents' Dinner.

It's hard to articulate how sad it made me.

Sad and embarrassed and exhausted.

Here is the thing about a man who is a joke. He can't tell one.

People think humor is a talent. It isn't. It's a capacity. To make someone laugh you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and to laugh at yourself you have to step outside of yourself and see what everyone else sees. For one second you have to be just another person in the room.

Most people can do this by the time they are nine years old.

He has never once managed it. Not in fifty years of cameras. Not for a second.

That is not a quirk. It is a symptom. The muscle that lets you tell a joke is the same one that lets you feel what another person feels. A man who cannot survive being laughed at cannot imagine being anyone but himself. He will only ever be generous when it is photographed. He will only ever be kind when it is filmed.

There is a name for it.

So he stood up there and did what he always does. He hit down. He made jokes about people's weight. He made jokes about their intelligence. He made jokes about how women look. He read out the names of people he doesn't like, and mocked them. Always mocking. And when no one laughed he blamed his speech writers.

The cruelty dressed as humor has worn so thin.

And for the 30% of you still in the cult who will inevitably call me a crackhead and blame it all on my Dad, all I can say is please, for the love of God, open your eyes. Wake the fuck up. Have some dignity. Have some pride.

Joe Biden wasn't standing at that podium last night. Donald Trump was. And at the end of it he put on a red hat that said Trump 2028 and told the room he was running again.

No one laughed because everyone knows he has no intention of leaving.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

ÆSOP'S FABLES
THE FOX AND THE GRAPES
A HUNGRY Fox saw some fine bunches of Grapes hanging from a vine that was trained along a high trellis, and did his best to reach them by jump-ing as high as he could into the air. But it was all in vain, for they were just out of reach so he gave up trying, and walked away with an air of dignity and unconcern, remarking, "I thought those Grapes were ripe, but I see now they are quite sour."

A little hope creates a mountain of opportunity.
From Threads: trond_solberg71

Hi. Norwegian here.

People sometimes say that safety nets make people stop trying.

But Norway has one of the highest employment rates in the world.

And one of the strongest safety nets.

Why? Because when people know they won't go bankrupt from illness, they can take risks.

They can leave bad jobs.

They can start businesses.

They can actually work.

A safety net doesn't make people lazy.

It makes people free.
