A future Dem president must steal a page from DOGE's book and imemediately seize physical control over the Treasury payments system and GSA (controls keys to the doors of federal facilities) because there's going to be Disagreements about whether Dems are allowed to run things even after they win

"for unknown reasons, my mortal enemies appear to be concerned with the core essence of humanity in a way that my allies are not. oh well, better not think about it too hard."
Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog

A weird thing is that whenever I post criticism of Al, the majority of the people agreeing with me seem to be leftists. It's pretty much the only position I hold that seems to be more popular with the left than the right. It should be the opposite. My whole point about Al (especially Al in creative fields) is that it isn't human, it doesn't have a soul, and we cannot surrender our society to an unhuman soulless algorithm even if it makes our lives easier in some ways. It's very strange that an argument predicated on the existence of the soul resonates with the left while conservatives tend to scoff at it.

I am still haunted by this poem, "The Myth Was Never The Unicorn," written by one of the teens who participated in the creative writing program at the museum this summer. A reminder that girls are always aware. Read the full piece and listen to the author recite it: journey75.org/2025/the-myt...
They say unicorns bow to virgin maidens,
but they don’t say what happens after they kneel.
They don’t say what the horn is for.
They say they are gentle,
but only in the way a trap is gentle when it waits.

I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts. Text 1. Wilhoit's Law, born as part of a 2018 blog comment crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...
There is no such thing as liberalism — or progressivism, etc.

There is only conservatism. No other political philosophy actually exists; by the political analogue of Gresham’s Law, conservatism has driven every other idea out of circulation.

There might be, and should be, anti-conservatism; but it does not yet exist. What would it be? In order to answer that question, it is necessary and sufficient to characterize conservatism. Fortunately, this can be done very concisely.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual.

As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.
So this tells us what anti-conservatism must be: the proposition that the law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone, and cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

Then the appearance arises that the task is to map “liberalism”, or “progressivism”, or “socialism”, or whateverthefuckkindofstupidnoise-ism, onto the core proposition of anti-conservatism.

No, it a’n’t. The task is to throw all those things on the exact same burn pile as the collected works of all the apologists for conservatism, and start fresh. The core proposition of anti-conservatism requires no supplementation and no exegesis. It is as sufficient as it is necessary. What you see is what you get:

The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.

Such an absolutely perfect MAGA paragraph. The leopard nibbling on him. "The Americans." The wife sensing danger and stepping in to try and protect her family

Today they’re making up high numbers to increase funding. Someday they’ll have to make up low numbers to preserve morale.

Every non-fascist in America: screaming to Democrats, screaming till their lungs are raw, for someone to round up the thugs and felons in charge and put them on trial and throw them in jail Pundits: Should Democrats focus on immigration or the economy?

This is a very important observation, that highlights Stephen Miller as the top enforcer (and possibly _de facto_ chief) of the Executive. His wishes are equated with the President's and everyone in the administration is terrified of him

“And say thank you.“ These guys are really leaning in to that phrase and the domestic abuser vibe.

Can we please make "who is a lynchpin of the community centered on the country western bar she runs" the new "he was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders right before she died"
