He's accelerating basically daily. It's moved from "antifa" to "Democrats" in basically a week.

I think that this is directly a response to that disastrous speech he gave to assembled military officers. I think he truly believes that they're part of "the Democrats" because they refused to respond.

I did!! ❤️

One of the things we are going to have to be very, very aware of is that a lot of people who are being heavily armed right now will simply not be willing to accept the results of a democratic election because they will go to jail.

This is a love story.

The thing that has kept me grounded is that they may have effectively unlimited money, but money doesn't buy competence or effectiveness.

This is a prime example of that. The primest.

I have now!! ❤️

here’s how the rest of the #Eeveelutions react to bathtime… 🛁🫧✨

Painfully American, sadly. Almost poetically so.

Adult Swim announced today President Curtis, a new adult animated comedy starring Emmy Award-winning actor Keith David. The announcement followed a surprise appearance by David during Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

AI art is not Gothic-Punk, I know that for damn sure

That first one has maximal goober energy.

"For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach."

katie @katefeetie put a fried egg on my croque monsieur to make it a croque madame and now jk rowling is outside my house yelling

This is THE tweet of all time

Same thing that makes for good Capt. America and Superman stories.

Time is a flat circle.

The stridency that these people adopt in not paying attention to politics -- at all -- is something that is greatly underappreciated. They do not give a shit, and you can't make them give a shit until, as you say, it's something non-political that impacts them.

Fucking maddening, honestly.

Democrats all need to finally admit to themselves that Obama and his people protected W Bush from prosecution for short-signed and selfish political reasons, and Biden and his people protected Trump from prosecution for short-sighted and selfish political reasons.

Trump finally shot a guy on 5th Avenue that his followers care about and his name is Epstein.

Wholeheartedly agree.

Though I don't think that they're as bad about it as some of their detractors, this certainly feels like they oversubscribed to what their consultants were saying rather than paying due attention to town halls and polling.

My theory would be that it's the kind of people who don't see themselves as participants in politics but as spectators.

I thought at the time that Harris' emphasis of the economic status quo as a selling point was a mistake. The findings here seem to indicate that that was right on the money, and, also, rejection of that messaging would be part-and-parcel of the anti-incumbent backlash we saw globally.

You're entirely correct.

If the movement as a whole could be rightfully called an oligarchy, what they do individually could be called tyranny in the Hobbesian sense. (They think they're Machiavellian. No.)

To me, Hoechlin simply WAS Superman the way that Reeve was.

I haven't seen Superman (2025) yet, but Corenswent looks super promising.

We've entered into the era when we have both Blue MAGA (militant liberal ride-or-die to the point of making up alternative realities) and what I'm taking to calling Lefty MAGA (militant leftist ride-or-die to the point of making up alternative realities).

Not great!!

I always think of this comparison of Hugh Jackman on a men's vs. women's magazine.

I'm against corporal punishment in the general case, but I think we need to go full-bore Nuremberg Trials with all these ghouls.

I feel this in my very soul.

Times are really hard, and we shouldn't turn away from that. But espousing maximal hopelessness -- no matter how well-reasoned -- helps precisely no one.

I'm closing the aperture for tonight.

Protect your joy.

I love you.
