I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”
thinking about how long leftists were blamed for making twitter inhospitable for MPs who are refusing point blank to leave now it's full of nazis and child porn

As far as I can tell, this is the first time a major news organization has directly confronted the administration with proof in the moment, instead of just writing down the lies and noting the evidence in the story. Everybody has been saying for a year that they all should do this
This is quite a sequence:
—Trump asks aide for video of ICE shooting to convince NYT interviewers that driver tried to "run over" agent
—They watch together
—Interviewers note it shows nothing of the sort
—Trump says "well . . . it's a terrible scene"

Probably the first thing that made me realize that Ezra Klein is just Bad now was he kept bringing on these right wing thinktankers who would dress up what really just amounted to crimeslop. And he’d pretend they had something really insightful to say about how liberal cities need to introspect
Everyone predicted this????? "This is a covid level increase in crime that will reduce" was an extremely common take. These guys ignored it because they wanted to crime panic

"COVID caused everyone to temporarily go insane, the effects are steadily wearing off" is basically the skeleton key to everything right now IMO.

As a reminder, if you are exposed to violent and upsetting videos, there is some clinical evidence that taking a break and playing a game like Tetris has significant impacts on lowering levels of PTSD afterwards.
Trauma, treatment and Tetris: video gaming increases hippocampal volume in male patients with combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder
Tetris has been proposed as a preventive intervention to reduce intrusive memories of a traumatic event. However, no neuroimaging study has assessed Tetris in patients with existing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or explored how playing Tetris ...

It's important to understand this aspect of our culture:

I also cannot emphasize enough that these homes are being offered for rent. People still live in them!
I know people on this website are likely to be more amenable to this than I am, but I want to stress that institutional investor purchases of single family homes are a microscopic share of the market and so you’re basically not gonna see material changes in home prices from this

“Everything has to be about X issue we poll well on”
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

No US oil company should risk investing in Venezuela. Companies that take part in Trump's lawless takeover of Venezuela's resources should keep in mind that any American tax dollars they take to invest in a foreign country will be recovered by the next administration.

before J6 I was categorically against the death penalty and now I'm like....okay maybe there are certain civilizational risks that powerful individuals pose. Also why not repeat example of WWII
Treason shouldn't be a capital crime b/c of some "they insulted the FLAG and sided with the TERRORISTS over MURICA"
It should be death because that is the only tier of consequence that keeps the powerful from attempting it again and again until they get lucky. You need to stop them before they do.

What is just crazy about this, aside from the need for this statement at all, is that Greenland already IS in the US sphere of influence. It's far cheaper for the US, in material, security, and reputational terms, to have Denmark continue administering Greenland and work within NATO on security.
