this is dope as hell #medievalsky love how Bridgers (who rules) is playing with medievalism, reenactment/nostalgia, video games, & fantasy. she's playing pseudo-Galadriel from Lord of the Rings, but specifically the movie version. but also "lost boys" is a call back to fairy stories and Peter Pan

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

Excerpt from the book How Democracies Die.

"America's democratic norms, then, were born in a context of exclusion. As long as the political community was restricted largely to whites, Democrats and Republicans had much in common. Neither party was likely to view the other as an existential threat. The process of racial inclusion that began after World War II and culminated in the 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act would, at long last, fully democratization the United States. But it would also polarized it, posing the greatest challenge to established forms of mutual tolerating and forbearance since Reconstruction."

100%. Until the Supreme Court is reformed and the corrupt members removed, nothing else matters because the Supreme Court and its corrupt members will just stand in the way of everything else. Any Democrat who can't get behind that simple fact should leave politics now.

The avatar of inherited American rentseeking wealth presenting an aging hereditary monarch with a dead wasp is just way too much for me thematically. This is like something from one of Saddam Hussein's romance novels.

Tweet by Ben Swann:
During his meeting with King Charles, Trump reportedly showed a dead wasp he had found to the King:

"Isn’t that interesting?"

a) this woman is in her thirties b) it’s a Hilton hotel ballroom

Minutes before he was shielding me under the table at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Elliot Ackerman, coiffed and dressed impeccably in his velvet tuxedo jacket, was telling me about the Roman Empire.
As we listened to the United States
Marine Band pluck out "Who's Who in the Navy Blue" and then the national anthem, I told him I had never been in a room like this before. "This is so formal and grand," I said, surveying the dais where the President and First Lady were seated, and the thousands of men and women in black tie below it. I pointed out, extremely eruditely, "It's like, British!"

Elliot told me about how when Roman soldiers came back from battle, there would be a military parade. The war hero was ensconced in fine robes, riding in a chariot with his whole family around them, the men they'd defeated at their feet, and a slave whispering in his ear

Panel 1: Blue Guy sits handcuffed in an interrogation room while two FBI agents watch him through a one way mirror.
Blue Guy: C’mon guys! I wasn’t actually gonna kill anyone! It was a joke.

Panel 2:
FBI Agent 1 (arms folded, looking stern): Do you believe him?

Panel 3:
FBI Agent 2 (holds up a phone and points to it): No. He has a Blue Sky Account

Panel 4: (Agent 2 looks into the interrogation room in disgust) This son of a bitch doesn’t even know what a joke is

Today I learned that tempura originated from Portuguese missionaries in 16th century Japan, who brought their tradition of breading and frying foods with them. The name apparently comes from the Latin phrase “ad tempora cuaresma” (in the time of Lent) because it was popular Lenten food.

This lede is a good example of the torqued discourse around cops and crime in local news. The "though" at the beginning of this creates an implicit causality (need more cops for less crime), but the evidence presented suggests the exact opposite

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.
