It's not hard. Both Yglesias moderates and Khanna leftists give MAGA politicians legitimacy because they want MAGA's base. Ossoff simply does not give a shit about the MAGA base, which allows him to speak with fierce clarity about MAGA politicians. He is willing to bet on an anti-MAGA majority.

Then, if you’re able, try to get your body moving. You’re going to need your senses and movement is good for your brain. If you have kids in your care, protect their developing brains and their image. That’s all I can say about that.

At an interview you don't yet know the culture, so you shouldn't assume. The safe play is to exceed expectations even if they turn out to be casual about things like a beverage

The simple reason those girls are dead is because the position that would've prevented it was RIFed in FEB 2025. It was my job at CENTCOM as the Senior Advisor for CHMR & the Civil Environment Lead to QA/QC these. I was no longer there to do it. That's why these girls are dead. 1/

The credulous coverage of Trump’s claimed “historic deal” in Greenland — which changes nothing of substance about the existing security agreement — is yet another embarrassing instance of the media “treating the kayfabe as real.” Why would a self-respecting reporter participate in this nonsense?

It was a soulless experience and I don't recommend. So much marketing now seems constructed for the frame of social media, with the product secondary to the shared image of captured experience.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

He is implying that women's definition of sexual assault should not include deception by men, that lying to women is just like them wearing makeup. He's an idiot and I wish we didn't give these fools oxygen

I just found out Napoleon VIII was born in 1986 and went to Harvard. Works in finance. Technically he's not Napoleon VIII until he's made Emperor of France, he goes by Jean-Christophe for now, or JC as I call him

Probably because I was stuck watching Supergirl last evening and that was my personal hell, then Lanterns E1 was "gritty" when a father shot an apple off his son's head to teach him not to be afraid and I am still mad that it was treated as formative and not totally insane.

Really starting to dislike the entire superhero subgenre. It's completely played out as entertainment, there is nothing more for us to gain by imagining what-if, and I am starting to feel that the idea of writing super humans to understand regular humans is repulsive
