Norwegian humor is on another level. Here's how the Norwegian Consumer Council explained @Cory Doctorow's concept of 'enshittification':

He must be horrified he can't fix his widening part. Hard to fathom he stuck w/ the garish orange makeup after all the mockery. A sentiment probably repeated a hundred thousand times worldwide each day: it's an absolute, mind-blowing marvel America voted in this disgusting excuse for a man. 🤮

I’m far into my morning scroll and this is the first reference I’ve seen to an article about this comment. And it’s more of a Cali paper. Good times.

Jack Smith told the Senate his investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump committed serious crimes—an alleged scheme to overturn an election and obstruction involving classified documents. #RuleOfLaw #Trump #JackSmith #Senate

Even if it were the same strain, we have an orange man in the WH who could fuck up access to cipro and doxycycline in a myriad of ways, on purpose and/or due to stupidity.

Once again we have a choice between something really really REALLY bad and something that's never quite as good as we hoped. That shouldn't be a hard choice.

This helps me better understand how the “Jesus is King!” people cheer at cruelty and glory in trump calling those who argue to help and protect others human scum. It helps unboggle the cognitive dissonance a bit. I really took to how the piece was written. So glad i came across it. Cheers

Generally, I agree. Also, remember how he benefitted from twitter banning him during covid bc people weren’t seeing as much of his crazy? I do fear a news coverage outage could benefit him.

Remember how banning trump from twitter during COVID ended up helping him? People need the crazy right in front of them or they somehow, unbelievably, forget what a fuckwad he is. I am all here for the solidarity, but I also hope we dont end up with the populace losing sight of the clown show.

Does Trump "have a clear plan for handing the situation in Iran?" Americans saying yes went from 40% around the start, to 33%, and now 25%. Terrible numbers (deservedly so). For reference: Support for GW Bush on the Iraq war began over 70% by some measures, and fell to ~45% by the end of 2003.

Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished. This is a moment of reckoning for America.

Win or lose, James Talarico's campaign is a major threat to the GOP, especially in the long term. Many evangelicals don't even know "liberal Christian" is a possibility. He is showing that it is. And the Christian right is *freaking out*. www.salon.com/2026/09/21/j...

Tell your conservative friends: the GOP wastes your money. Trump's been playing interior decorator all over DC while you can't afford gas. Not only did Trump's management of the Kennedy Center result in almost $100 million in lost revenue, but he made ridiculous, 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/09/20/u...

“Worst” implies he’s trying to be a normal president and is simply bad at it. It doesn’t capture the extent to which he wants to dismantle or take over our institutions and transform the presidency into authoritarian rule. It also implies there will be a presidency going forward. Can we be sure?
