I may need to take a social media and news break soon, because the state of the world is really damaging my calm, and it's not helping to have no adventure gaming group to escape into.

Not sure I want to see a reboot of Blake's 7, but if the alternative is much more scat porn in "prestige" fantasy, I guess I'll take it.

I know lots of people are saying some version of this, but I have to add: how the actual fuck are the Dems managing to fumble their opponents terrorizing citizens, shitting all over NATO, and protecting the Epstein pedos? Neoliberalism + the political consultant class needs to gooooo

exactly - it’s the constant wild swings between “mostly reasonable” and “floor-shitting gibbering madness with nuclear weapons” that are justifiably turning the world against us.
There's no way the rest of the world is going to trust us if we're going to pivot between being Leader of the Free World and the Russia of the West every 4 years based on how 150,000 people in Bucks County, PA feel about the price of eggs. This is what Americans need to understand most.
i do think even a lot of otherwise well-informed Americans really do not understand just how much Trump has already mutilated our global reputation and global trust.
it will take a long time and many acts of extreme contrition on our part to rebuild this.

On this day, 36 years ago TREMORS was released in theaters. Maybe my favorite movie? I don't know! It's too bad they only made 4 movies and a TV series.

I was hearing this sentiment right after the election. "Oh well, you'll have another chance in two years." As if a house can be rebuilt every bit as easily as it's torn down. It was naive at the time; it's absolutely maddening now.

This is the key paragraph, in my opinion, for every white person. This is the response to the "I don't have a racist bone in my body, but" white folks.
I never understand why people who tout their moderate and centrist credentials aren't directly asked about this.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

Pastor: ICE Let Me Free Because I’m White and It Wouldn’t Be “Fun”

The idea that Americans are unusually quiescent is a weirdly load-bearing and ideologically widespread position, one that has survived multiple massive protest waves and visible community organizing in the face of violent state repression with nary a ripple. It's really odd
I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.
The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

At a moment when liberals are finally recognizing that they will live in a dictatorship unless they undertake real resistance, attempting to smear anarchists by association with the Trump regime is perhaps the most pointless and irresponsible thing a centrist like @ezraklein.bsky.social could do.
Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your Peace
Neither courts nor laws will suffice to halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take direct action on their own initiative—in other words, to become anarchists.

The president is supporting summary executions for those who don’t show deference.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
