Here's a bit I wrote back in July about Trump, war, and Benjamin. It's supposed to be part of a forthcoming roundtable on Trumpian Aesthetics, but between the writing the publishing, all the predictions have come true or worse.

The expression "closely monitoring the situation" is doing a huge work today everywhere.

Americans should accept that the US second republic (the one that lasted from the civil war until Trump) has come to an end and a new constitutional convention will be needed to found a third

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Aparentemente, hemos llegado a 2026, el año imaginado por Fritz Lang en Metrópolis, donde la desigualdad era estructural, la tecnología servía al control, las masas eran manipulables y el fascismo se vestía de modernidad.

Es fácil criticar MTV, especialmente pensando en sus últimos años o incluso décadas. Pero la verdad es que me apena el cierre de los canales musicales de MTV esta noche. Fue todo un fenómeno cultural que ha marcado nuestras vidas. RIP.

And actually--Comet Pizza was a page out of a playbook that started with daycare decades before.
In 1983, a California mom accused her son's childcare provider of subjecting children to Satanic rituals--like flushing them down toilets into secret basements where they were then filmed for porn. 1/🧵

Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

Cecilia Giménez, the amateur painter responsible of the restoration of an Ecce Homo in Borja (Aragon, Spain) has passed away. Beyond the global meme, the whole story was actually pretty moving. A worldwide story of empathic and shared collective humor from an internet that doesn’t exist anymore.
Muere Cecilia Giménez, la anciana que hizo famoso el Ecce Hommo de Borja
La mujer ha fallecido en la residencia donde vivía, según ha confirmado el alcalde de la localidad, Eduardo Arilla, a la SER
