yeah that's the thing. trump is normal for folks born in the early 2000s. he's been the most important person alive for much of their lives, the center of the universe.
Worth noting that for a lot of zoomers, the "Trump isn't normal" language that was trotted out is just plainly not true for them and so I think it just kind of didn't work, but now a lot of them are experiencing Trump for the first time as adults with bills and obligations and they've had enough.

Here is a grocery list from my 86-year-old grandmother. The manhattan ingredients were a given. What blew our minds was the card, because we ended up finding a drawer of about 250 cards that went back to probably the mid 1990s.

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.
This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

i'm a very biased party here but pretty much everything about the Mamdani campaign and the discourse around it thus far is a pretty thorough vindication of Africana Studies
It is worth saying that putting “Africana studies” in scare quotes as if it’s a ridiculous concept is not a political argument. It’s just racism. “Africa is not worthy of a major” is the implication. Yeah dude you’re just racist. (From Gerard Baker at the WSJ today)

Everyone is sharing their stories about their distant relatives/family friends who held familial titles. Trumbull County had their own version of Tallulah Bankhead, and she was my Nana Marian. No blood relation, just the demand for children to perceive her as an enlightened matriarch. It worked.

how does donald trump keep breaking all these norms when all i'm doing is repeatedly suggesting he might do that with softball questions and then writing up the answers as if it's not a settled issue and attributing equal validity to his sundowning avarice and the written constitution
hes not allowed to run for a third term so why are you even asking him

exactly. there are tattoo artists who cover these up, free of charge.
Could he have grown and evolved? Sure, but the comments about sexual assault are only 4 years old and he's not exactly rushing to remove this tattoo so...you lie to yourself if you want to. I won't. "But what about room for progress?" He can have the room without a Senate seat. Just saying.
