This is the story over and over again. Lots of people tell themselves stories about Trump being a world historically effective leader who commands fanatical devotion by everyone in the party and it’s just never been true.

After the House Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, called the Republicans' last-minute plan to avoid a government shutdown "the Musk-Johnson proposal," Elon Musk took to his social platform, X, to push back on the idea that he's calling the shots. "I'm not the author of this proposal," Musk wrote, crediting President-elect Donald Trump, Vice President-elect JD Vance and Speaker
Mike Johnson.

How to defeat all arguments.
A Bluetick account on Twitter attempts to defeat an argument by positing "What if it wasn’t people that deserved it though. What if it started to happen to people you liked? Or your own family members? 

I’m sure your opinion would quickly change if the circumstances were entirely different."

Periodically check to see if my favourite Amazon typo remains, the one about the slippery Sith Lord, Darth Tryanus

When the Jedi decide to target Count Dooku-Darth Tryanus- himself, they turn to his ex-apprentice, Asajj Ventress, for help in getting close to the slippery Sith Lord. But when unexpected sparks fly between Ventress and Quinlan Vos, the unorthodox Jedi sent to work with her, the mission becomes a web of betrayal, alliances, secrets, and dark plotting that might just be the undoing of both Jedi and Sith
- and everything in between!

So... working at Baen, during orientation, they actually show you a photo of Jim Baen testifying in Congress during one of Newt Gingrich's corruption hearings, because he had a book deal with Baen. It's a company horror story. "Don't make us testify before Congress, and you'll do fine."

I think MAGAs and their oligarch supporters really haven’t fully reasoned through “we’re going to make Americans as poor and desperate as possible to turn them into peasant vassals, but we’re also going to make sure they can still get lots of guns.”

The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby. They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections). It’s pretty bad

It’s all in the telling.
Dear Santa:
When I was a child, my father cheated on my Mom. Later, my parents divorced.
Soon after, my mother died in a car accident My brother and I could only live in my grandma's old house.
Grandma's sister was an alcoholic. The whole family lived on my grandma's savings. Grandma recently died.
My Uncle Andy is barely keeping himself out of jail from day to day.
My brother left home and won't talk to us any more.
Dad, now 74, had to go out to work to support the family and eventually he is going to want me to do the same thing.
Yours sincerely.
Prince William

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Yes, stances are ethical. But if we want change, ethical stances must have power. That is political. One can be right and criticize others who aren’t, sure. And that is important. But then what? How do we flourish? We need to help the right thing win, and good people build. Electoral or not

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
