This is spot on. I'm old enough to remember when gay kids getting disowned was not that uncommon (many wound up homeless) and there was no moral panic about "why are these parents rejecting their children?" evanhurst.substack.com/p/weird-to-w...

So people (you know which people) are flipping out about the Metropolitan Opera donating 70,000 tickets so that New Yorkers can go to the opera for free? Everything is so stupid now.

The way that the pundits and media avoid saying “Trump has lost his mind” is really something. He’s at the point where if he was an ordinary person, his family would be doing a lot of smiling and nodding and trying to keep him calm and comfortable.

There’s lots of crazy shit happening but I think the State of the EU address and Mark Carney’s presence at it is one that will be in history books years from now. Not in the US of course, we won’t have history books anymore.

It’s really quite amazing that he can be in his second term as president and still have no idea how trade works.

Seems like a good time to observe that both Google Maps and Apple Maps have something called “Gulf of America” on their maps and both companies should find this humiliating.

So in all the coverage of the Canada tariffs, I saw no mention that the president doesn’t have the legal power to unilaterally create tariffs. The press is really failing us by normalizing his lawbreaking.

reaching the point of unsubscribing from anything that comes via Substack. No so much because they suck and promote Nazis but because the user experience is so horrific. Challenge is that there are a couple of people on there I give $ to, to support them, but Substack is a spam machine.

At this point, ending this whole ICE experiment and starting over is the conservative approach. (The more aggressive approach would be investigating everyone involved and the ones who are doing this stuff, or letting their people do it without sanction, facing criminal trials.)

Bluesky and Mastodon are the only social media I use regularly and I’ll be honest, mastodon is so much more social and so much less echo chambery. Anyway if you’re over there look for me if you want. I think I’m the only Woolfhound you’ll find.

Interesting that Pirro admitted there’s no indication of vandalism at the reflecting pool - could have just dropped the case saying no evidence about that one guy. Wondering if some of the Trumpkins are trying to put some distance between themselves and him as his numbers drop.

WSJ editorial by a Koch kid: "Dem Socialists praising Nordic social programs are wrong, because Nordic countries are capitalist!" Normal people: "OK can we have that kind of capitalism?" WSJ: "NO because socialism is bad!" Normal people: "We can call it whatever you want." WSJ: "NO! NO! NO!"

I know the sounds melodramatic but the new requirements around Medicaid really seem like they are designed to kill disabled people. The US spends money to prevent its citizens from getting medical care. It is a disgrace and says something very ugly about our values.

It really bug me that the president is threatening war crimes and most news stories bury the “oh and those are war crimes” part several paragraphs in, if they mention it at all.
