I realize for the Nazis that the beard thing isn’t about beards it’s about race and religion, but like, does that land with normal center-right and even mid-right people? The mind of the normie is inscrutable but surely they don’t assume bearded people are bad soldiers?

Man the music that comes out when you’re 13 just sticks with you forever, huh. Gorillaz and Cake remain two of my favorites. Because I Got High, Chop Suey, Down with the Sickness, Crawling all incredible. I also love U2 having to share a chart with Click Click Boom.

California's ballot proposition system is not *only* a rent-seeking venue but it is largely for rent-seeking disguised as unmediated democracy

Another in my serious of complaining about California’s ballots initiatives. Prop 38 funds immunology research. Critics ask why it doesn’t support other kinds of biomedical research—good point! No idea! Yknow who would know? A fucking legislature. With paid staff.

I think it’s equally possible that two Trump terms will seem like the inevitable result of a single temper tantrum by the boomers/gen x and that Biden will seem like a temporary staving off of the second term rather than the cause of it. It’s at least how I see him.

Fun tv ad during the Valks game for prop 42 talking about how it protects your savings and retirement account from taxes, when what it actually does is nullify the prop 40 billionaires tax. This shit shouldn’t be constitutional. We gotta fix California’s government, man.

Headline is not as strongly worded as the quote.
"There are reasonable grounds to believe that the reported 68 attacks that killed 223 people constituted crimes against humanity of murder under customary international law," Mr. Saul, a professor of international law at Australia's University of Sydney, concluded.

When will the people who argued in April 2025 that Democrats should stay silent on immigration own up to being frankly just disastrously wrong about the politics of mass deportations? Their punditry basically bordered on enablement

I try not to go overboard on media criticism but I do think "the chief executive is openly trying to rig the legislative elections in his party's favor" should merit somewhat higher prominence relative to mundane normalcy horserace coverage.

"Good progressive policy will destroy reactionary parties" sounds nice in theory. In practice, the Great Society was followed by 5 Republican wins (three of them landslides) and one narrow one by a right-of-Clinton Democrat in the next 6 cycles
