“One bizarre aspect of Trumpism as a philosophy is that it relies on a belief that video and audio recordings of things don’t exist.” - @rtodkelly.bsky.social

oof

I did not know this!

this is a solid deep-dive reference

Seeing Matt discovering in real time that Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia is a sight to behold.

The revealed preference of the American people is that you can use the power of the American state to kill as many people as you want as long as we don't get our hands dirty and we keep our bodies to a minimum, and also that if you stop a war the press will hound you to the ends of the earth

JD VANCE: "There's just no way Trump is gonna about this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no end in sight"

TRUMP HOURS LATER: "Wars can be fought 'forever,' and very successfully"

solid ten joke

*kills *them* with voters.

Like, you have zero obligation to take someone asking about your drinking babies' blood in satanic Jewish ceremonies in a secret underground lair under a pizza parlor seriously. No non-bats**t voter is going to penalize you for treating that like exactly what it is.

There's this thing Democrats do where, whenever they confronted with the most outrageous, bats**t, illegal or immoral s**t form across the aisle, try to act like they are serious statesmen talking to other serious statesmen about serious statesmen stuff, and it kills with voters.

This was handled rather poorly, I think.

It's not 2012 anymore. In 2026, if someone like Lauren Boebert asks you a serious question about your involvement Pizzagate on live television, the best course is to mock them with a genuine smile and laugh and move on.

This is what all of these blotches look like to me.

((((((They))))))

Well I do love silliness and flowers and boinking.

I have the sense that Bridgerton is something I should try.

The genre Improbably Attractive People Boinking In The 19th Century has really taken off in this age of streaming television.

This, though.

This is the platonic ideal of a chef's kiss.

I honestly can't decide if I think "the CIA used TV wavs to brainwash normal people to like black music and that's why no one listens to Smashing Pumpkins anymore" is proof Corgan is deeply mentally unwell or if he's just the next guy up on the right-grifter bandwagon.

😬

😐

Absolutely, but we've already crossed that particular Rubicon with 'MAHA' so it's literally a wanton, unnecessary Darwinian horror from this point.

The thing is, almost every person negatively effected by this is going to be told that it's one more reason they should have never trusted doctors, hospitals, or scientists and they're going to swallow that lie whole it and vote accordingly.

how are we supposed to take Jamelle seriously when he hasn't even written a *single* autobiography, yet alone three?

JFC…. How is this tolerated?

As always: give it a week.

Well obviously the demand for eggs has gone up because of avocado toast.

It might be? Or it may be a personal universe thing. But man, everyone I know who talks about politics on FB is comically uniformed about pretty much everything in the world. It's not even a Right-Left thing. It's everyone, regardless.

It's as cringe as all of the Nazi s**t on x in its own way.

why yes i often swing by columbia just to chat politics with the kids no i am not a creep
