Love this

…aren’t we doing multiple timelines anymore?

So Pluribus (episodes 1 and 2 at least) basically answers the question “What if zombies were more like Canadians?” That may not sound like much but so far it’s really really really really good. I suspect they won’t be polite forever though.

Can we organise an international conference of wine glass manufacturers and dishwasher manufacturers so that they can coordinate to make their respective products compatible with one another?

“Wonderfully enjoyable and informative … a superb account, at once lucid and complex … SURROUND SOUND is a model for how to write about cultural production.”
Still buzzing over this fab review from the legendary Richard Dyer in Literary Review, so here it is in full!

They’re actually acting like he isn’t trying to do that

No one could accuse Donald of being woke.

Mamdani is going to implement Sharpie Law. Every New Yorker will be required to fabricate a weather report (using a Sharpie and a map of the US) and convince themselves that they’ve convinced all other New Yorkers it’s true.

A screenshot of text reading: I have spent most of my life, since I was your age, studying Germanic matters (in the general sense that includes England and Scandinavia). There is a great deal more force (and truth) than ignorant people imagine in the 'Germanic' ideal. I was much attracted by it as an undergraduate (when Hitler was, I suppose, dabbling in paint, and had not heard of it), in reaction against the 'Classics'. You have to understand the good in things, to detect the real evil. But no one ever calls on me to 'broadcast', or do a postscript! Yet I suppose I know better than most what is the truth about this 'Nordic' nonsense. Anyway, I have in this War a burning private grudge - which would probably make me a better soldier at 49 than I was at 22: against that ruddy little ignoramus Adolf Hitler (for the odd thing about demonic inspiration and impetus is that it in no way enhances the purely intellectual stature: it chiefly affects the mere will). Ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed, that noble northern spirit, a supreme contribution to Europe, which I have ever loved, and tried to present in its true light. Nowhere, incidentally, was it nobler than in England, nor more early sanctified and Christianized

Every time Nazis try to use Tolkien to justify white supremacy, I like to float this 1941 letter in which Tolkien called Hitler a "ruddy little ignoramus" and accused him of "ruining, perverting, misapplying, and making for ever accursed" the spirit of the cultures upon which he based his works.

War looms in Venezuela as Trump tests an “Americas First” doctrine A gathering armada risks repeating the mistakes of the “war on terror”

'America’s actions are strangely contradictory. If Venezuela is a terrorist state, why has the United States ended the “temporary protected status” of some 600,000 Venezuelan asylum-seekers and sent some back to the narco-jihadists?' www.economist.com/the-americas...

…well unless Xi, Putin and Trump have agreed to divvy up the planet into three territories and stay off each others turf. If this is so Venezuela can expect just the kind of diluted support from Russia that Ukraine is currently getting from the US.

B-52s are now operating in a loop just off the coast of Venezuela.

Media Pontificating About Trump’s Motives for Attacking Venezuela Keep Ignoring that he Openly Admitted It Was to Take Their Oil BBC, Politico, WaPo, CNN entertain many reasons for why Trump wants regime change in Venezuela—while ignoring the most obvious.

As @ahjohnson.bsky.social points out here, the US media is stroking its chin & pondering why Trump wants to attack Venezuela. They somehow overlook his stated motivation, which is that Venezuela has the world's biggest oil reserves.

Sounds very much like the last go-around. Build now, let the next government figure out how to pay for it.

I don’t have a crystal ball or anything…don’t know if you’ll make it to the “Winning the Internet” finals for 2025…but I’d say you’re a show in for the quarter finals. This is gold.
