There is a (in my view, deliberate) overemphasis of Hannah Arendt’s remarks about the ‘banality of evil’ and regular people doing evil things versus a more urgent point she makes about the farce of trying to locate the evils of the Final Solution in the body of one man because Nazism was structural.
I sometimes worry about this fascination with how apparently normal people can do things of extreme cruelty - I guess it’s good because it makes us more vigilant, I just worry about being bewitched by the charm of the monster www.theguardian.com/film/2025/no...
‘Hermann Göring loved his kids. That’s what’s terrifying’: James Vanderbilt, Rami Malek and Michael Shannon on Nuremberg
Russell Crowe has a malevolent charm as the Nazi on trial in a compelling new film. His co-stars and director explain how they understood this monster – and the persistence of evil today

The first thing we're going to do at the end of all this is drag in the Wendy's CEO to answer for what they did to the spicy chicken sandwich

JCO proving what I’ve been saying for years when it comes to engaging with chuds - they don’t care if you think they’re stupid, or hypocritical, or evil (they’ll like it because they hate you). But if you find the way to accurately show how *uncool* they are, you can really really fuck with them.

Just noticed on an old VHS that Robert Patrick was wearing a NIN shirt when he was 3D scanned for the T-1000. That would have been 1990, so he was proudly supporting his brother Richard Patrick, who was in a new band called Nine Inch Nails at the time.

Yes, and now everyone realizes we can't win with this team. Time to blow it up and rebuild. Tank for some picks.
No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

At a certain point we have to accept persistent failure as a strategic feature in service to a pyramid scheme.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

The Democratic Party and liberal politics in general are not up to the task of combatting and defeating a well-funded technologically advanced fascist government, much less for building what should come after. It’s time to grow your politics

Hearing from more people after this went out.
"We're all pissed. This was a lot of unnecessary stress on people and their families for nothing. And if I win the lottery tonight I absolutely will spend millions to hire people to follow these 8 Dems around for a year and make their lives miserable."

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.
Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!

The filibuster is so fundamentally anti-democratic that forcing the authoritarian party to kill it so that they could keep taking health care and food away from Americans was probably the cleanest out from the damn thing, yet this Cones of Duneshire-ass opposition party loves rules more than wins.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
