not to be a dick because there’s a little truth to this, but also: all politics is about people’s well being. sometimes it’s just more visible or visceral or people who register as more important. a true rejection of politics that impacts people’s well-being is a rejection of politics altogether
hot take: the actual problem the Dems are having is that they're NOT playing politics with peoples' well-being and actually want things like "people get to go home to their families for Thanksgiving"

Peter Thiel turning out to be this stupid honestly messes with my idea of him as the eminence grise behind the Gawker lawsuit, maybe Hogan pitched him on it and kept having to explain like “a lawsuit is like when they blew up the Death Star brother”

Tilly Norwood was found dead after a boating accident near the Santa Clarita islands. The only witnesses were her husband, Robert Wagner, and co-star Christopher Walken. As of now, police consider Mr. Wagner a person of interest in the ongoing investigation.

I used to know a guy who ended up becoming very very rightwing, and an early tell was when he went to the Rothko Room in the Tate and the paintings made him insanely angry, because he felt they were a joke and the joke was being played on him.
“You’ve got sadness in you, I’ve got sadness in me – and my works of art are places where the two sadnesses can meet, and therefore both of us need to feel less sad.”

Something that really hurts every time another set of massive name actors affiliate themselves with Harry Potter is that it shows just how normalised Rowlings extreme anti trans crusade so these people can count on the media not making an issue of it

"Abundance" was an obvious grift to take over a 2nd term biden/then harris presidency. Along with all of its other flaws it's an absurd "movement" for the times

One of the more annoying part of living in the Cool Zone is all the credulous dolts coming out of the woodwork to go "bwuhhh???" like they can't believe the stuff that used to happen is still happening. Lawyers shocked that the courts would make bad rulings, DoD guys agog at arbitrary killings, etc
1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat.
Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable.

also because the democratic brand is so bad, the controlling faction not only has to lose, they have to be *widely seen* to have been overthrown. the very public humiliation of the republican controlling faction was a major part of how they basically rebooted their brand
