There is a war between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say that there isn't. Why don't you come on back to the war? That's right, get in it

don't reskeet book excerpts from terrible people, even to dunk on them or to hate-read.

You give prestige magazines clicks, and you encourage them to do this crap more.

Encourage terrible people to go to What Ever Happened To?? land

As tempting as violence is - sometimes TOO tempting - I think FIRST we should try actually having a detailed plan for governing, getting excited about it, and presenting ourselves with such glowing confidence they'll assume we must have God in our back pocket.

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

Fast-tracking Ksi Lisims LNG gives Trump’s billionaire donors a direct line to Canadian public dollars. It’s time to take this project off the fast-track list and stop pouring public dollars into fossil fuels.

The smartest people in the world today are not focused on solving the world's problems.

No, they are all employed specifically to grab an increasing share of our collective attention, by whatever algorithmic magic they can muster.

I think that this is the essence of our global polycrisis.

Reposting this post about the conversation, for the repetition:
INT: @grammar-girl.bsky.social and I are watching the season finale of The Diplomat. I pause the program.

Me: I'm gonna ask you a question, and you're gonna say "repetition."

M: Okay.

Me: You know what I like in dialogue?

M: Repetition?

Me: Repetition.

Trump says the GOP 'broke" Schumer
Trump says the GOP 'broke" Schumer
President Trump criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's (D-N.Y. ) handling of the government shutdown in an interview on Monday, saying Republicans bested him in the process.  "I think he made a mistake in going too far,” Trump told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham. “He thought he could break the Republicans and the Republicans broke him." “I’ve never seen a politician change so much,” the president said. “He was a pretty talented guy. He’s lost his talent.”  Schumer is facing backlash from Democrats across the board for Sunday’s procedural vote that would begin the process of reopening the government. The minority leader’s critics argue that he was unable to keep the Democratic caucus together, resulting in seven Democrats, plus Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), joining with Republicans to vote to reopen the government without any assurances of extending ObamaCare subsidies. The minority leader notably voted against the measure, citing the subsidies that are set to expire at the end of this year.  Progressive Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said in a post on X that Schumer is “no longer effective,” while Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), another progressive, slammed Schumer for not endorsing Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D) in New York City’s mayoral race.  “Don’t endorse or say who you voted for in NYC, despite there being a Dem candidate. Get Dem Senators to negotiate a terrible “deal” that does nothing real about healthcare. Screw over a national political party. Profile of scourge? Next,” Pocan posted on X. Progressive groups MoveOn and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee have also called on Schumer to step down from his post as minority leader.
