For hvad det er værd, har jeg studeret dansk i et par år. Hvorfor? Det ved jeg ikke.
Current preoccupations: go (tsumego), Jean Shepherd, Fela Kuti, trying to read Isak Dinesen in Danish.

Watching Billy Wilder's Love in the Afternoon at the moment.
Boy this hasn't aged well. A romance between Gary Cooper and Audrey Hepburn. What an embarassment.
Thought to myself, look at that old bastard. Then I realized that I'm older right now in 2025 than Cooper was in 1957.

Into the Twilight of the Trump Era
What becomes of MAGA as Trump’s hold over the movement is weakening, his ability to integrate its different factions is waning? A deep dive into the state of the fever swamp.

If someone who strangled a guy to death for acting out in the subway "shouldn't have been brought to trial," you have to wonder why there's a nationwide manhunt for the guy who shot a health insurance CEO.
Among other things, a disaster for Alvin Bragg - city shouldn't have brought this to trial, prosecution was a joke.

I think one way to think about the Trump campaign’s doubling down on open fascism, especially after the F-word broke through to mainstream discourse with Kelly and Milley, is that they’re looking for a mandate. If they win, they’ll say: “we told everyone what we’d do, so now we’ll do it”.

Elon Musk regularly promotes accounts that push phony race science. He uses X to pay money to neo-Nazis. He lies about Black and Brown immigrants. He positively engages with antisemites.
Musk is a white supremacist who whines and fearmongers while continuing to accept millions in taxpayer dollars.

The person Musk is quoting here is Marko Jukic, whose writing was once syndicated in white nationalist Richard Spencer's publication and who has advocated for the "segregation and separation" of Jews.

Hypothesis: The big disjunct between Senator and President polling in swing states (eg, Kari Lake -14 versus Trump -1) measures the difference between MAGAts reported as the batshit people they are and Trump, whose batshittery the MSM has cleaned up.
