Bolivian philosopher Oscar Ichazo developed a theory that he called “protoanalysis,” out of which he developed the Enneagram of Personality. Ichazo argued that nine “ego fixations” are formed early in life, each becoming the core of a self-image and linked to a specific “passion”...

This is the act of a desperate dimwit. Sure, trying to hide data and facts can benefit him. But most people who vote based on "jobs" don't do so because of statistics, they do so because they know if they and the people they care about have jobs. Hiding or fudging federal data can't change that.

Gallows humor from @ellecordova.bsky.social

It seems like Trump, like George W, wants to privatize social security. If they win again in 2026, there is no doubt they will go for it. Democrats must win back the House in 2026 to save social security.

Wow, Richard Linklater is having a busy year. "Nouvelle Vague" opens in U.S. on October 8, and "Blue Moon" opens 16 days later. Double feature?

I am currently watching the amazing @waitwings.bsky.social documentary on the musical "Chess" for the third time. What a scene, what a joy.

Sixty years ago today, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law - securing health care for millions and saving countless lives. As GOP politicians try to tear them down, it's up to us to protect and expand these programs for Americans who rely on them today and for future generations.

Wow.

I can now count on four fingers the "real" WaPo writers who are still there. (Vs dozens who have bailed.)

Jeff Bezos is now in competition with the odious Musk for greatest damage in shortest time.

Difference: Bezos didn't destroy his day-job biz empire at the same time.

I miss the days before the Web, when deciding whether to accept cookies was a no-brainer.

That final bit actually gave me a lil jump scare.

Whenever I hear the name "Ghislaine Maxwell" I'm reminded of how Frank Reynolds thought her name was pronounced "Jizzaline"

That Man just keeps digging himself in deeper. I had no idea Giuffre ever worked from him. T is like the nervous suspect in a cop drama who just spills everything in the interrogation room while the officer sits there saying nothing.

"Star Wars: Episode II" really should've been called "Anakin 2: On the Move"

Cats are Aristotleans. They believe that objects have a desire to move to their natural place and therefore feel compelled to nudge them off tables accordingly.

If the Council can just rescind or ignore overwhelming initiative votes with impunity, why even have initiatives? We have little enough democracy in the District as it is.

Lindsey can't even bullshit coherently anymore. What a sad decline of a once-respectable conservative.

🔥 BUSTED: Welker shows Lindsey Graham a damning montage of his 2017 comments—where he ADMITTED Russian interference was real.

Now? He’s just another Trump lackey trying to cloud the truth. What happened to that Lindsey?
