Nephew Callian and Cousin Jess enjoying Thanksgiving together!

Uncomfortable with the First Thanksgiving Narrative? Good News, it’s Actually a Civil War Holiday Take heart, all you who grow unsettled at the time of year where the narrative of friendly Pilgrims and American Indians is spread around to make us feel good about a brief moment in American histo…

Happy Victory for US Arms and Down With Treasonous Slavers Day!

you should support liberal currents!

"You're makin a lot of sense!"
"You have to pay for the things you've done."
"YOU'RE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE!"

When Davis learned that a breakaway faction was gathering on a Saturday afternoon at the offices of venture-capital firm Andreessen Horowitz to plot a strategy for DOGE’s future, he began calling likely attendees and told them not to attend what he called the “coup” meeting. (The firm did not respond to a request for comment on its role in DOGE’s work.) Those at the meeting who looked at their phones would have seen their fortunes change in real time, as they were removed from Signal group chats — DOGE’s primary status marker of who belonged.

Some incredible details in this piece
*one DOGE faction was planning the future of the US government at a venture capital firm
*illegally communicating on Signal to avoid transparency laws was deeply embedded into organizational culture to be taken for granted

Looking over my budget: "Wow, I really need to eat out less."

I've been looking at Odyessy production photos and I am absolutely furious that all the Greeks are wearing pants.

Hey, remember when Snyder was supposed to make a Star Wars killer? That combines two of the internet’s favorite things to fight over, Snyder and Star Wars. What ever happened to it?

ah, america

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

I think about this post, like, 5 times a day.

Making The Duskland I’ve never played Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. I’ve played all the 40k RPGs, enjoyed them, and given my love of Skaven (who are playable characters in several editions of WFR) one would …

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:

1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad

Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

Felt the need to post this Reddit screenshot of a Tumblr screenshot of a Bluesky post to Bluesky so it all comes full circle.

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring three of the Portland protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes with the following text: Episcopalians on Facebook Elizabeth Rose Elrod • 22h • Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

It's more productive than most of the ways I work out stress. Baking gets you delicious pastries, re-reading rpg rulebooks you'll never play gets you nothing but a longing for a new campaign.

My Sister: "Is nothing sacred?"
Me: "Mel Gibson is making a two part sequel to Passion of Christ, so no."

Someone accused me of "aura farming" at work today and this was all I could think of.

Red Dead Redemption but you're Henry Lowry.

Ah yes, the man who wrote a book on the “unfortunate consequences” of the Civil Rights act is here to (quite turgidly) defend Hegseth’s anxiety-riddled bigotry.

And, despite having never served has thoughts about unit cohesion.

been reading about the glorious revolution and it’s funny that this event that looms so large in the history of British parliamentary govt and thus world liberal democracy was straightforwardly the Dutch doing a regime change as part of their geopolitical struggle against France

Remarkable data point: the size of the US Army in 1903 relative to the total population was .81 per 1000 people.

That was actually lower than the Army of 1794 (incl. Wayne's Legionary Army), which was .85 per 1000 people.

Shows the tenacity of American skepticism of standing armies in that era.

Yeah, comparing the United States to other American countries with shared history and overlapping diasporas is totally illegitimate of me as a Mexican-American, we should just acknowledge that the US is a European country transplanted out of Europe somehow instead of a place in the Americas.
