Anti-populist and anti-anyone having the power or wealth to singlehandedly upend a stable governmental system.

Beaten, but still.

Did not realize until now how much young Ian McShane looks like Rufus Sewell.

Thread.

The Li'l Team running Trump's foreign policy

The amount of "he signed the defense bill with transphobic and anti-DEI amendments in it" comments is really unfuckingbelievable. Yes, fools – Joe Biden is the devil because he didn't pointlessly veto a defense bill in an election year. Congress is to blame there.

Wow rude

It is very likely, although there's a compelling counter-argument that Alito is too fond of rubbing it in people's faces that he would maintain an anonymous account for long.

It seems clear now that they resented having to make the argument on principles that might benefit other groups, rather than relying on their own personal political power.

Feeling that visceral moral contempt for this regime? That's not soul-damaging. It's soul-affirming. It takes a damaged soul not to feel that contempt.

If a populist movement sees "white people are a minority of humanity" as a problem and has an observable penchant for violence, it's obvious what solution they're ultimately driving toward.

Wow. I've always dreamed of having a second bathtub in my mud room, but it was never in the cards for me.

the last Lizza post ended on a cliffhanger where Lizza teased a recording of Trump talking about the assassination attempt that would potentially "shatter our understanding of recent history." in the latest drop he reveals that he doesn't know what the recording was and also it has been destroyed.

I'm all for reposting and spoilering every single journalist's revelation that they withheld to boost their substack or their book sales. Fuck 'em.

"The final veil" is art.

No, no, no – he's not a misogynist or a racist; he just calls every woman who challenges him "ugly" and every black man who crosses him "low-IQ."

(awkword . bsky . social) now that they've blocked the OP

Every profession has a cardinal sin that's sort of unique to that profession. "Fucking your reporting subject and then making up stories about his political opponent" is literally the worst thing you could do as a journalist lol.

I am pretty contented to learn that my particular social circles have not once exposed me to "folx" before today.

Not me, I'm streets ahead.

Oh looks like Fallout 5 is using the same graphics engine

Finally!

It was like a breath of fresh air after the prequels, and better than many SW movies that came after it, but it was not in fact good when considered on its own. Just preferable.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

When you're torn between your racist hatred of Mexicans and your secret dream of starting a mariachi band

Word for word exactly what I thought

Like the introductory paragraph to a Buzzfeed listicle

To be fair, it doesn't say "Book a Landing Today"
