He would literally visit Harvard and sit in his reserved PEDOffice and I’m supposed to believe no one raised an eyebrow?

Does GenZ have a movie yet? It seems like there’s long been a consensus that the previous generations were defined by the movies / soundtracks of:

Boomers: The Graduate (1967)
GenX: Say Anything (1989)
Millenials: Garden State (2004)

Maybe it’s just too soon?

Man I thought “masked agent of the state calling the woman he murdered a bitch” was the most “heavy-handed feminist novel” reality was gonna get but now we got “rapist president demands woman smile when she asks him about abuse victims”?

I can't believe we're gonna get to buy our Halloween costumes at the damn Kennedy Center.

Imo the arXiv should impose an automatic ban the first time someone submits a preprint with a hallucinated reference in it. Zero tolerance policy.

Note the problem here. Trump does apparently want to minimize clashes between government security services and protesters. But he doesn’t appear to want those heavily armed government militias to stop doing the things that are causing those clashes in the first place. What’s really going on here is this: Trump is looking to defuse anger among congressional Democrats for purposes that don’t portend a meaningful shift. An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package. The problem for the White House, Punchbowl reports, is that if Democrats successfully renegotiate new measures, the House might have to pass a new package—the House already passed funding that included money for DHS—and Republicans doubt that’s possible. So the show of de-escalation is about making it easier for Senate Democrats to support appropriations bills that don’t require another vote in the House.

There really seems to be a lot of kayfabe happening right now. Trump is pretending to de-escalate to placate Dems so they don't demand reform, and Dems are making up fake reforms so they can pretend like they made changes while they vote to fund DHS.

I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is:

"My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities."

Androids, AI, and self-driving cars. It really is just mechanical turks all the way down.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

One of the points I tried to make clear in having this conversation was: I’m not a radical. I am a *boring middle-aged dad*, who’s raised tens of millions of dollars in venture capital, and worked in tech for decades. I have not lost my mind, or become an extremist. THEY DID.

(For folks asking, I'm happy to grant the Iron & Wine Front flag to the public domain, feel free to use for whatever you want; if you want to make merch or t-shirts or stickers, have at it. If you charge money for stuff, donate the proceeds to help ICE targets or you're a scumbag.)

Posting screenshots of losers from twitter is corny.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things
