Listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social talking about the attacks on the RNLI — if you stood in the midst of this mob and started loudly singing 🎵 “RULE BRITANNIA…” they would all instinctively join in with a full-throated “…BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES” with absolutely zero sense of irony.

I needed someone to see this and the first person i thought of was @michaelhobbes.bsky.social (Liz Truss has pivoted to video. And it’s going great.)

As Donald Trump’s father Fred’s dementia worsened, his family still let him pretend he was in charge of his real estate empire — coming into the office every day, shuffling around empty papers, his phone disconnected from the outside world. I think about that a lot lately.

I mean there is literally a constitutional amendment (the 14th) that could/should have kept Trump from retaking power.

Trump and MAGAs every goddam day, in every area of life. Covid cases, job numbers, climate science, media reporting on creeping fascism…

There is a Twilight Zone episode called It’s A Good Life in which a child with limitless powers holds his entire town in his thrall, doing and getting whatever he wants, and the fearful townsfolk are unable to stand up to him. Here’s the plot. Feels like now, right?

A really fascinating look at what ChatGPT told me when I asked if Mamdani had said “globalize the intifada.” Note how it starts with “yes” and then eventually pivots to “no.”

Love it when someone carefully clarifies their point and you’re like “Right. You’re a racist. We heard you the first time.”
