What are you guys freaking out about over here now?

I relate to the Enterprise lieutenant who tries to fuck Data. I would try to fuck the android too.

When things get really dark, just remember that we got peanut the squirrel. Never forget how he died like a dog.

Just remembered that Peter Thiel was one of the original anti-polling guys.

Trump approval back up to October levels. He could use the Venezuela success to build momentum from here. The opposite of Biden’s Afghanistan debacle.

Finally watching season 2 of Picard. Why is Gaius Baltar here?

Nope, changed my mind. Dollar will sell off this year.

The US was a nation in decline. Now it looks less in decline. This is the logic of the administration, and the image they hope to project. Ignore the minutiae of oil spreads, geostrategic competition w/ the Chinese green state, etc.

Huge win for the Trump regime. Hard to spin it as anything else at this point.

It's simply true that young people are paying higher taxes than old people paid in their working lives, to fund benefits they will likely not see.

"Pay 6.2% tax to fund the retirement of someone who paid 3.85% in their working life" is obviously unfair.

I feel like everything costs a thousand dollars now.

Trump just posts nonsense now, and almost none of it is actually implemented into policy. Lame duck while owning the supreme court, house and senate.

Starting to understand that I just don’t really like people all that much.

If one of your guests tries to talk to you about UAPs or aliens, just tell them yes, they are real, and President Trump is going to deport them to Alpha Centauri.

If the fight for the Democrat Party is between Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias, I would like to congratulate Donald Trump Jr for his 2032 presidential victory!

the question is, to what degree is it possible for Electoral Moderation Pragmatists to recognize that having won governing majorities, they need to pivot away from Electoral Moderation to Actually Governing in ways that can lock in future majorities not by messaging but with the power of the state
