Long before other horribleness was revealed, I had a bad intuition that things were going to take a terrible turn when I realized that the tremendously popular wizard fantasy books that had broken containment *looked* like nerd books, but were really jock books

Listening to an interview where dude preluded every second or third sentence with "To be honest, ...", it got me wondering if that meant everything else he said wasn't honest?
Strange how intensifying words, e.g. "frankly," "honestly," "legitimately," etc. have become so overused that they are now words that dilute instead. See also: literally. Wondering if it's a case of 'when everything is intensified, nothing is' or if adverbs are as weakening as everyone said.

Two things can be true at once:
The massacre of Jews at Bondi Beach was abhorrent.
The Australia's government reaction, which was to go 100% pro-Israel and push to stamp down all dissent, is also abhorrent.

Exactly. Why? And, that they actually expected us to! So much is 'upside down' & 'back to front' and unless we genuinely do 'socially cohere' & explain in no uncertain terms what the arse-about is all about and why we will not accept it, it's only going to get more unhinged.

How come there's so much posted about Epstein all the time - but the first I hear about how he went in on 4chan with the founder, got the Nazi subreddit restored, and then later used it to launch QAnon and Pizzagate right when Trump was caught in a pedo scandal, is from @charlieangus104.bsky.social?

Of Course We're Exhausted. We're Being Targeted
Overwhelm is part of Team Trump’s strategy
Neither self-care nor suck-it-up strategies actually name the problem for what it is. Both skip the part where the pressure is engineered, the toll is cumulative, and it lands unevenly

The resistance against ICE in MN is amazing- but it doesn't mean that they can necessarily solve the problem, or especially that they have won (yet).
Like they note, most media (incl. social media!) have a very short attention span.
The regime may want a war of attrition, to wear out resistance.

USA has apparently decided to enforce a blockade on Cuba now, to wreak humanitarian devastation, because while most everyone said it was bad for Israel to siege and starve Gaza, no one did anything about it.

is it in the tow truck racket, or are the police involved in other organized crime initiatives as well?

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Individualism is quite an opiate of the masses though.
i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
