Try to imagine the news cycle, had President Biden opened up a book of pictures during a press availability, flipped through it, and rambled an incoherent stream of lies that have been repeatedly debunked.
Just imagine. Now look at any national news source.

If you can believe it, January 1, 2026 marks ten years since the armed takeover of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. For Portland Monthly, I wrote about how the ensuing decade was dominated by anxious men and a culture of lawlessness.

Thread, long but very worth it.
My parents were free-wheeling Boomers convinced things were only ever going to get better, financially. They had good reason, then. They could afford a house, car, and weekly nights out on two full time assistant manager jobs at a fast food chain. But they also got caught up in emulating wealth trap

James Madison over Notre Dame? FUCKING TULANE over ND. It’s just wrong, i don’t care what they say. I get it, it’s a coin toss between ND, Miami, and Bama, but if you go based off stats, and who’s hot NOW? No way you should pass over ND, AND you’ll likely get more viewers overran with ND in the mix.

None of this is uttered with old man yelling at cloud energy about the good old days. More wistful exhaustion, and acceptance that things cannot stay the same for too long. Stuff is always getting messed up, and some stuff improves or is repaired.
