Books, yarn, and cats are all enjoyable topics.
Christian Nationalism is the trainwreck I can't look away from. I'll be posting about it and related politics. Even though books, cats, and yarn are better.

I'm glad the "double tap" order is drawing justified outrage over this administration's murderous policy, but here's the thing: One dinky, easily intercepted boat that *might* have drugs on it poses exactly as much threat to U.S. security as a couple of survivors clinging to driftwood... Zero.

Pete Hegseth removed respected journalists from the Pentagon, because he feared their willingness to publish the truth.
Then he brought in only some of the nation's most seasoned sycophants to take their place.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Courts have been clear: the First Amendment protects criticism of military operations, criticism of the president, anti-war speech, whistleblowing, and protests, even the loud, uncomfortable ones. You cannot jail people for political disagreement, no matter how much a president might wish otherwise.

Please stop complaining that the cast of Stranger Things is too old. The show takes place in the 80s. Back then children were smoking a pack a day, taking shots between classes, and working in the coal mines after school. If anything, the kids should have been replaced with actors in their late 50s.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.
