The playbook is throw everything and see what sticks…
The problem is that to fight it: you can’t let anything stick…

it was definitely past time for Nancy to retire but she was bad ass when we needed it and Hakeem isn't 1/100th the Speaker she was

if we ever get out of this, part of the reform project will have to be building the political willingness to prioritize that kind of reform and an acceptance on the president’s part that they will have to carve back their own power

To Understand Trump, Look to the Roman Empire President Donald Trump's "leadership approach is very American. But it is also very Roman," writes Barry Strauss.

The only thing worse than Trump is how much the media loves to report on the Traitor in Cheeto!

What are the chances that #Netflix picks up #Halo? Finally has real distribution I would think it would do well.

Can AI Avoid the Enshittification Trap? Cory Doctorow’s theory of “enshittification” explains how tech platforms rot from within. As AI grows more profitable—and powerful—it risks the same fate.

AI IS ENSHITIFICATION
All the decline we've been seen are directly related to converting existing user behaviors into ones that can be quantified so as to feed more data to AI!

Amateur adventures in Baroque language: He was oft dismissed as louche for the comfort he offered to… more men and more races than could ever to be discreetly dismissed. Then again, his gossip was never but begrudgingly reckoned finer than the keenest analyst.

Nothing “normal” about you, hon. Enjoy it and Reframe it: “Back to my baseline”

movie that starts as like very realistic real housewives franchise but then one of them finds gay content being created by one of their husbands and then that husband’s housewives murders all of them one by one and the movie turns into a found-footage gore movie

Belatedly reading about this and as always really important to remind people in *every breath* that when the right talks about “woke” and “DEI” they are talking about the cultural and political wins of the civil rights movement. This arrangement existed for 52 years because of historical activism.

How about an in-depth post/episode about much Annie Hall/Diane Keaton are the north star of Julia Roberts style?
OR...Considering how much promo appearances are theme/character dressing, why not take character styling as the start and analyze how it has been recurring since?

I miss Badass Emily Blunt. Her milk toast husband and her repeat milk toast mountain of a costar have sucked all the personality out of the fire and spark out of her performances.

Liberace and Hussein used real gold. The amount of plastic and foam in there will kill thousands of sea animals when it all gets stripped out in a couple years. Trump can’t even do Shitheel Chic well.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Please encourage him getting the shut down that he wants. He will use the shutdown as an excuse to make even larger scale changes. And take more control. His people are prolly telling him it will be like a king dissolving parliament.

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

What the Trump regime doesn’t want you to know about Dallas ICE shooting The Trump regime's refusal to say the names of the Dallas ICE victims exposes the inhumanity of American fascism.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.
