My school experience in a nutshell, except replace "Russian antisemite" with "lady with a high school education and a certificate from a non-accredited 'Bible Training Center.'"

(Let's hear it for Abeka Books and RHEMA "degrees.")

One might say we live in a society obsessed with spectacle--a society of the spectacle, you might go so far as to call it.

What's that? It's hard to hear you over the sound of Drowning Pool and me re-racking my weights.

You mean a union of some sort, perhaps a European one?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I love them both, but something tells me Tolkien would *not* have appreciated Led Zeppelin.

The Attorney General of the United States quite clearly does not believe in Constitutionally-mandated oversight of the Executive Branch, which is another way of saying she doesn't believe in the Constitution.

January 6th was all FBI agitators doing bad things and also everybody locked up is an American patriot who did nothing wrong by doing all the bad things the FBI agitators were there doing.

One key difference between me and what appears to be the entire Republican Party is that I refuse to debase myself like this for *anybody.*

Scoop: White House memo says furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to backpay A move to deny backpay to up to 750,000 furloughed workers would dramatically escalate Trump's pressure on Democrats to end the shutdown.

JFC.

The amount of contempt this administration has for the government it is supposed to be running is absolutely staggering.

Some MAGA asshat is about to cite that picture as proof that Trump has brought down gas prices.

The administration's approach to analysis and intellectual rigor in a single phrase: "No, we don't."

This is another way of me saying I hate everything about our contemporary moment, by the way, not a lament for "better" fascists.

The focus on race is one of the many ways contemporary fascist"intellectuals" are so dim and weak even compared to their forebearers like Spengler and Junger. Mid-century fascists had big thoughts about man's relation to capital and mechanization, and we have BAP calling the global south "ghey."

Once again, I would like to remind everyone that nationalism does not require--and in fact may preclude--rationalism. Despite what they might claim, nationalist "realist" visions of the world do anything but follow the logic. Their beliefs precede their logic, not vice versa.

ICE and DHS should be assumed to be lying until proven otherwise, and it's been that way for some time now.
