This economist is very on point - smart as a whip and explains things very well. Totally straight up on what is happening, what is likely to happen, and why.

In this day age, someone sane and smart is good to listen to.

An application of the “grey rock” method of dealing with narcissistic personalities.
When you’re in a relationship with a malignant narcissist—as we all are now with Trump—it’s important to stay out of emotionally reactive mode and instead to observe and act with detachment.

Emotional reactivity draws you into their defensive structure, and you can take in their toxic projections.

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them.

But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

Worth noting that McConnell refusing to whip votes to convict Trump at his impeachment trial (or vote himself to convict) is *why* we’re now in a position where Hegseth is the Defense Secretary. If McConnell is looking for the person at fault, he might want to consult a mirror.

Elon Musk put $277M into the 2024 election. His wealth has gone up $150B since then. Good return. Investors are betting the value/profits of his companies will go up due to policy/regulatory changes he recommends as Dipshit of DOGE.

Hmmm...since Europe gets most of its energy from non-carbon sources, and we get 24% from renewables....maybe making America great again could be making us as good as Europe? After that, we could try to get our healthcare up to their level....

Pop Tarts are my sinful pleasure. Half the fun is watching it spike the hell out of blood sugar. Generally reserved for a once a year splurge while camping. SBJ (sweet baby jesus) is there any food more processed?

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617:
Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel.
Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.
