I will not be celebrating Ali Khamenei's death because it feels like saying Renee Good's death was worth it. All the deaths that Trump has caused is not worth a temporary leadership change.

What makes Trump such a unique horror is that he’s the worst possible person to deal with any circumstance. He has no concept of interests outside his own insatiable appetites. He can’t deal with any problem lobbed his way. Creates countless new crises. And considers himself unconstrained by law.

The cost was Renee Good's life

Very few ideas have been as utterly discredited by the last few years as the idea that it’s actually good to tear down an imperfectly observed, aspirational ideological facade and ‘be honest’

And, more broadly, “fuck fighting for democracy in general”

In the Trumpist calculation wars should be strictly for porn and nothing else as a means of guaranteeing their purity

When journalists demand your respect they m portray themselves as the grand arbiters of objective truth, Fourth Estate, the people’s light in the dark

Stew, what you said about the West Palestine train crash in 2023 was deeply irresponsible and I wish you would apologize for it

Now we know who runs Stew Peters' account on Bluesky. Nice try, Stew.

Yikes.

They're both more queer than they want to admit but they're weird Catholics

He's a convert to Catholicism

The new boss. Same as the old boss.

A 45 minute drive from Gettysburg… from Lincoln’s Gettysburg… from “new birth of freedom Gettysburg.

45 fucking minutes from Gettysburg.

Yeah I hope it happens soon

Trump doesn’t support democracy in Iran.

Trump doesn’t even support democracy in the United States!

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

This is it exactly. We are screaming at the sky.

Graham Cracker for whatever reason, only decided to post this on X (who knows why) and rather than respond to the NRSC's very fair attack he declared he'd never be in the Democrats "Club"

I remember this column, and I also remember that we didn't get martial law, a "wartime economy" the likes of which Thompson imagined, and Gen Z is not experiencing a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. Thompson was wrong about all of it, even if reading this was analeptic.
