The thing that always gets me about the whole “mass migration means immigrants recreate the conditions of their country of origin!” thing is that it is so transparently fucking nuts that there is not a single example of it ever being true in all of human history

I remember watching Jake Paul fight Tyson immediately after the election in 2024 and thinking an inability to laugh Paul out of the ring was a great example of the rot in America that led to Trump coming back, it was good to see Anthony Joshua do that. It felt like the culture starting to shift back

I mean it should also be noted shit like this is why the admin is falling g apart and you have senators from Wyoming retiring
DHS just shared this video to X with the caption "This Christmas, our hearts grow as our illegal population shrinks."
The video is set to a version of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and has text that reads "Christmas after mass deportations." The end reads "Mirthnuke."
Evil shit.

Being an anti-woke lesbian Jew is a luxury identity that's only made possible by decades of struggle by the people Bari denounces as totalitarian scolds. But Bari thinks she'll always be one of the good ones because she's white abd went to the right schools.

"village" mentality is what sustains conservatism. not being able to do anything without the Grandma Gestapo reporting your every move. depending on the easily withdrawn kindness of others instead of impersonal but reliable services. and of course obeying aristocratic landowners
Its gonna be hard to have a family in a single family house when you have to bring your prospective girlfriends to your parents' house instead of your own place.
Addison highlights these types of comments from American conservatives, and I’ve seen this all the time and always think it’s especially deranged. America has the lowest density, most “single-family” housing stock of basically any modern nation and it’s still not enough for these people!

Reiterating my theory that Gen Z as a group is not in fact meaningfully more conservative - this should be pretty obvious talking to any random Zoomer - but that the specific people who identify as Gen Z Republicans are psychotic freaks in a way previous generations didn’t use to (publicly) be.

One big takeaway from Mamdani bringing YIMBYs into his transition is that advocates can often gain a lot of power by
1.) having useful answers to questions and accurate information
2.) being reasonably polite and pleasant to elected officials
3.) understanding the actual mechanics of government

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

Casten is the single most informed federal elected official on the energy system. If he said this about something I penned on energy I would die of shame. Unfortunately, the neighborhood troll has none.
This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Searching for Trump yields 0 items. Searching for Clinton: 109.
DOJ Epstein Library says: "Due to technical limitations and the format of certain materials (e.g., handwritten text), portions of these documents may not be electronically searchable or may produce unreliable search results." Searches for "Trump" or "Wexner" yield 0 results.
