I have seen this with my patients: very willing to take advice about an herbal therapy from a politician selling snake oil, and then expressing skepticism about medical treatments that have been vetted by decades of research.

What a bunch of imbeciles.

Gullible, Cynical America The trouble with believing anything and nothing at the same time

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Just finished The Library of Curiosities, a fantastic #middlegrade! Readers who like mysteries with high stakes, a low scare-factor, and a little magic thrown in may find themselves saying “just one more chapter” past lights out! #kidlit #librarians #teachers @jennylundquist.bsky.social

Five Wars, One Narrative: Why Are We Told Israel Isn’t the Issue?
Plus the USA
Look at the map of the Middle East today.
One country is simultaneously locked in confrontation or conflict with several actors across the region: Yemen, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.

Have you noticed that MAGA is basically saying “ I don't care what the Epstein Files say.
I would rather have a pedophile rapist grifting the country than admit I was ever wrong."

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

If you think the global leadership didn't know this would happen, you're naive.

Two known war criminals, with warrants for their arrests, have now expanded their wars.

They all knew.

They did nothing to prevent this.

The American government is the worst of it, as far as complicity.
Shameful.

There are no distractions.
Fascism multitasks.

I say this a lot, because many people think they've "figured out" the strategy.

He's stealing your lunch money, punching your face, starting rumours about you, AND pulling the fire alarm. He's doing all of it. No distractions.

Polling shows the more Texas voters know Cornyn and Paxton, the less they like them, but the converse with Talarico

Cory Booker is sort of like Zohran Mamdani if Zohran had the politics of Bill Clinton but still wanted to make you think he was Zohran Mamdani, so you end up with big bold proposals that don’t really do anything and are stupid

Anthony Blinken says Israel tried to pressure Obama to bomb Iran, warning they’d do it with or without the U.S. Obama refused. Trump caved to the same tactic. Also worth noting: Obama’s name doesn’t appear in the Epstein tapes.

Here’s your reminder that we’re in this spot because a bunch of Trust Fund babies declared themselves self-made millionaire Alpha Males and convinced uneducated inadequate white men that they would feel better about their underachievements by blaming minorities, immigrants, women, and trans folks.

There is a Dutch virtue called “geuzennaam” which means to take a slur and turn it into a badge of honor.

One example is LGBT folk reclaiming the word “queer.“

Maybe Australia will take sane Americans for the same reasons

I would not trust him. I don’t trust any of these politicians. Hell, there are moderate Democrats that I absolutely do not trust.

We need term limits and need people in office who are not professional politicians and remember what it’s like to sweat bullets about your healthcare or paying rent.

Jesus was the Prince of Peace.

He was poor
He was brown
He was a refugee

He said love your neighbor
He said turn the other cheek
He said put down your sword

He fed the hungry
He healed the sick
He educated the people

He was against greed

He would be flipping over all the tables right now.
