my take on polyamory is that it's a bit like being misogynistic or being evil where it's only fun if the person doing it is gay

Not the main point here (that’s the craven cowardice in the face of lawless authoritarianism & being totally wrong here), but it is worth mentioning, since everyone is going to rail at “The Democrats,” that Angus King left the Democratic Party…32 years ago & continues not to be a member of it.

at a basic level a huge amount of the actions of the federal govt amount to shitposting channeled through executive power. sounds like a snark. it’s not. it’s the language and impulse these people know. a mixed of bad humor and aggression driven by impulse.
NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

I think that the disconnect here is that real household income is absolutely (indisputably!) up, but the price of the most essential household good, the fucking house, has dramatically increased beyond general inflation (due to both lack of supply as well as lifestyle inflation)
What drives me absolutely insane about this debate is how claims like “there has been a generational stagnation of purchasing power” have taken on the tenor of religious faith among progressives, and seemingly cannot be disproven with any evidence, no matter how overwhelming. It simply isn’t true!

'Maybe we'll cancel SNAP and 10-20% of all flights through *Thanksgiving* and *Christmas*' is just an insane political position.
You do that and the annual Turkey fryer injuries won't be from turkeys, but from folks attempting to fry whole GOP senators for Thanksgiving.

GOP SEN. JOHN KENNEDY: It may be 2026 when we'll come out of the shutdown.
REPORTERS: 😳
KENNEDY: I'm not kidding, you guys. I mean, you see what I see. Okay? This shutdown is going to last a long time. What's going to get us out of it?

500 years ago it was impossible for wealth to exist independent of violence.
Now we have created a world so stable and productive that basically anything can be summoned from logistical ether in a day and paid for with electrons, and we are letting that paradise die rather than kill one guy.

Just finished office hours and when I tell you every single student started their meeting by saying how excited they are about Zohran. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them so hopeful. One student said “I needed a win.”

We have evidence now going back to 2018 that when Trump isn't on the ballot, it's grim scenes for Republicans.
And he'll never (lawfully) be on the ballot again.
