big mistake to call trump “shameless”—he feels shame with intense, visible pain. what’s demonic is this pain, which halts most people, energizes him toward vengeance at all the world. shamelessness is rare, martian, lacks the charisma of shamefaced fury. shamelessness can’t inspire love. but he does

Potato salad with walnut dill dressing. I made the dressing out of roast walnuts, roast garlic, dill, cream, mushroom powder and a little lemon juice. Delicious.

A reminder that Trump himself reportedly said he didn't want any "wounded guys" in his military parade, and doesn't like being photographed next to severely wounded veterans. "Nobody wants to see that," he says. people.com/politics/new...

Note active voice in thread when victim "upends" Gaetz career but passive voice in image when discussing her exploitation. "Gaetz sexually exploited a homeless child and destroyed his career in the process" would assign a man and a republican agency. And we can't have that.

i have about two million followers across three platforms. statistically, about 20,000 of you are in the top 1% in terms of wealth. if any of you feel like leaving me your home in a walkable neighborhood when you die, that would make for a very heartwarming social media story.

“Anomie describes a state of normlessness when society's rules, values, and expectations lose their power to guide behavior, leaving individuals feeling adrift or disconnected.”
• Definition: Anomie describes a state of normlessness when society's rules, values, and expectations lose their power to guide behavior, leaving individuals feeling adrift or disconnected.
• Origins: The concept was introduced by sociologist Émile Durkheim in the late 19th century and later expanded by Robert Merton to explain deviant behavior in modern societies.
• Causes: Anomie arises during periods of rapid social change, inequality, or cultural conflict, when established norms no longer fit new realities.
• Effects: People experiencing anomie may feel purposeless, isolated, or frustrated, while societies may see higher levels of deviance, unrest, or moral confusion.

hello this sense of social isolation and purposelessness is often created by highly capitalist societies wherein traditional values associated with family and belonging to community are replaced by pursuit of wealth when people can't achieve these, they turn to ideologies like fascism

rightwing propaganda can be so effective because it relies on people wanting to live in a different, better reality
Sternbach is particularly fascinated by the new spate of "sexy" tradwives because she has seen similar delusions pop up on very
different corners of the internet.
"Everyone feels lonely, everyone feels very hopeless. So they look at this very aspirational content and they're like, 'One day I can be happy. One day I will have the perfect life," she says. "The part of their brain that is screaming at them,
"This is fake —they suspend their disbelief."

It isn't a good sign for our society, but it's really hard to feel empathy for someone who has never shown any and whose decisions can directly be linked to premature deaths. I should feel empathy, but social media has made me a more callous person.

thinking about the time a cool Instagram fashion account asked me to name my favorite products and i didn't know i was supposed to name fashion products, so i said pigeon food because i like feeding pigeons and their followers were like "why the fuck do i need pigeon food for my outfit?"
The Instagram account Saint featured me. The first slide says: "Derek Guy - Dieworkwear. Derek Guy is a menswear writer who has written for The New York Times, Esquire, and Mr. Porter. He also runs a menswear blog called Die, Workwear"One of the slides showing my favorite products. It's it's a big bag of Hagen pigeon food. The food is fortified with the vitamins and nutrients pigeons need. Instagram user writes: "Why tf do i need pigeon food for my outfit." I replied: "this is what i can afford to eat after spending all my money on clothes ::sad face::"
