Blogging about the wonderful world of fiction and the humanities. Well really mostly posting now.

To the extent my country is exceptional it is because we are a country of all people and none. The world made manifest. A nation of nations. A people united in truly radical ideas of freedom, equality, and justice for all. Any attempt to undo this is treason and also seeks to make us ordinary.

On Tuesday, Starmer's political director briefed Labour MPs on how government plans to fight Reform. She said:
- Reform voters are "our people" but "pissed off" with the state of the country
- At Runcorn, Farage mobilised habitual non-voters, while Labour voters stayed at home
- Comms must improve

The anarchist suspicion of hierarchy and power is essentially completely correct. Unfortunately being correct does not make anarchism capable of working as large-scale political system.

There was a YA Dystopia series a while back where as a compromise after a Civil War abortion was illegal but you could have your kid killed at 13 if you wanted. At the time I thought it was insulting to both sides of the abortion debate but looking at the modern GOP...
This is the endgame: if they’re angry enough that the kid came out “wrong” conservatives want a free pass to do an Amazon return. On their own kid.
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.
A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.
Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

This is what happens when good rail service is so limited. No you don’t. That’s not true.

big reason why the oligarch class went so hard for Trump. they HATE lots of job creation because when your workers can quit and get another one the next day, it's much harder to abuse them
With revisions, the +130,000 jobs in January is actually the best of the Trump's term. He didn't have a single month over +100,000 in 2025, with 3 months of job losses.
Also Biden is no longer the only president ever to have positive jobs numbers every month of his tenure. Jan '25 is now negative.

God I'm so glad my fellow countrymen did NOT elect the woman who had plans about and was talking about this.
Yikes here are the numbers for the past 12 months. Everything is pretty much dead except healthcare/social assistance. Note that healthcare growth is largely not about the business cycle -- it's about the aging of the population and more elderly people needing care.

Thank God we ended the bad Biden economy in favor of this good Trump one!
Manufacturing overall has LOST jobs over the past year (-83k).
Pretty much every manuf subsector is flat or down, with modest exceptions for fabricated metal products, electrical equipment, food.

The year is 2045. Nurse is the only job left. It has been hastily retconned to a male coded job and every nurse now wears tactical combat gear and has a gun.

Remember folks it's tyranny to have regulations on the deadly weapons, but the government agents can ask for your papers at any time. I love freedom land.

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)

Did Rey and Poe ever have a meaningful conversation over the course of three movies? I’m honestly drawing a blank. I‘m pretty sure Obi-Wan and Padme didn’t have a serious heart to heart until ROTS.

It’s kinda funny that each trilogy had a core three characters and the OT is the only one that bothered having all three consistently interact with each other.
the more i watch the prequel trilogy the more i think that those 3 movies are not as bad, but almost as narratively shitty as the sequel trilogy and the only thing the prequels have over them is nostalgia

This really is the dumbest fucking rule in the history of games. You know some idiot prince came up with the “if you trap my king so that any move causes it to be captured in the game where if you capture my king, I lose, it’s a tie” rule and everyone else had to eat shit and smile to dodge the axe.
