Elysium, by a country mile. Movie was so aggressively bad, me and three friends had a bunch of beers and sketched out a framework for a new movie as a sort of revenge. Also the director later admitted, β€œI fucked it up,” which was validating.

That people are already staking out strong takes on voting in the 2028 primary on this website is simply further evidence that people need to get out more and do literally anything. Even laying in a field and looking at clouds is more productive

”Like what?” Perfect follow-up question. Simple often better and most legislators/reporters mess this very easy thing up. Just force them to explain and watch them fall apart.

Small point but I think shrewd to say β€œthey don’t have the ear of Mar-a-lago” (not the WH). Highlights trump as rich dilettante rather than competent leader

Doesn’t make it less troubling but first thought was how racists are often idiots

goddammit, YES! eg journalists tickling their own fancies by writing elaborate analyses, when the answer is far more simple. I’ve been accused of β€œnot getting it,” and it’s like, man, I *wish* there were more to it. It sucks living with a ruler this fundamentally stupid.

Anyone who looks at Trump & sees *more than nothing* -- whether good or bad -- is not telling you anything about Trump, they are telling you about themselves, their own worldview, what they want. They are ascribing content, plans, intentionality, self-awareness, where there is none.
