The Future Didn’t Break the Way We Thought It Would Bush-era writers thought America could collapse under debt and deficits, and maybe it still will; but meanwhile, the Earth moved under our feet

What does a 20-year-old Atlantic article have in common with that “2028 Global Intelligence Crisis” post from earlier this week? They’re both evidence of how powerfully we respond to stories about the future - and how easily narrative can move faster than reality itself.

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

That is the worst shit I have ever heard of in my whole entire life and previous and future lives

MAGA rage merchants choking on their own medicine amid Bad Bunny afterglow At long last, the snake has begun eating its own tail

If this stuff begins to make conservatives look unserious, even to conservatives themselves — we dare hope to ask: Did right-wing outrage finally outlive its usefulness?

Nick Fuentes Says He’s Done With White Nationalists Over Their ‘Low IQ’ Bad Bunny Outrage "I was into this before it was popular, before it was mainstream. And now it's filled with a bunch of complete f*cking idiots."

Good Lord, the dam done sprung a leak

"We’re all going to perform outrage. We’re gonna perform and do the same jokes and we’re gonna have the same talking points.. It’s no longer interesting, it’s not funny anymore, it’s not edgy, it really has just become a drag."
