Tomato Harvest

The GenX urge to fall, fall, fall, fall into the walls

I have come to much the same conclusion. The stuff I really like often gets mixed reviews.

US builds website that will allow Europeans to view blocked content Freedom.gov appears to be administered by a branch of the Department of Homeland Security

"This is very specifically to help, like, an angry man in Schöndorf see neo-Nazi tweets from a guy in Arkansas"

When MAGA finally breaks, it will break hard. Like a powder keg going off.

Ham-fisted pump and dump attempt

NYT and other "legacy media" *never* quote Trump directly. I often wish they would serve up the unadulterated word salad, but no – it's always cleaned up, edited and sanewashed.

Trump cronies attempting to lecture Europe with sub-Spenglerian grand narratives of civilizational decline ... it's just extremely embarrassing.

He basically repeated what Vance said a year ago, just somewhat less aggressively

Goodreads reviews are funny. "My interests have moved on from this topic so I didn't finish the book."

Rubio's speech was simply Vance's sub-Spenglerian culture war screed delivered in a nicer packaging

At this point, I'm afraid that's a bit like expressing surprise at the crazy takes in the Völkischer Beobachter in 1938...

Influencers like Benny Johnson are wrecking the world for clout and money

Rod Dreher is more than welcome to go live in some cave or pre-enlightenment hovel.

Basically a tendentious, straw man riddled MAGA screed in slightly nicer packaging

It's like full-on Stalin bombast, only dumber

Many spurious claims by Mike Waltz in Munich today. Does UN funding really compete with US firefighter or nurse salaries?

Smart glasses with facial recognition, personal AI assistant, VR and AR that eventually replace smartphones seem like an almost inevitable development. It's absolutely depressing.

Incredibly disturbing and dystopian

"suspected political message" 🤣

Even as the most powerful man in the world he sometimes has to frame himself as completely powerless in order for the conspiracy theories to make sense. It looks really pathetic though.

Trump: Kryptonians are low IQ, should be deported

The oddness of his psychology is hard to overstate. Most people don't even have this level of petulance on their maps.

Trump and his cronies are truly slitting the throat of the US. It's a terrible thing to behold

Karin Eriksson: Trump kan vältra sig i skadeglädje över Norges skam DN:s Karin Eriksson: Norge var landet med det finaste Nobelpriset och det folkligaste kungahuset. Nu kan Trump vältra sig i skadeglädje över Norges skam.

Trust in Norwegian institutions *badly* shaken by Epstein files revelations, Scandinavian papers report (link in Swedish)

Someone probably told him it might spook the market

Even if true, it would be nice if the WH didn't presume an audience consisting exclusively of 4chan trolls. (Also, it's still racist af)

Coming up next: Seth Rich and Comet Ping Pong

I had to check if he really posted that.

(He did.)

A lot of completely irrelevant material in the Epstein Library, like what appears to be Wikipedia articles on Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen etc. One has to wonder if that was stuffed in there as padding.
