And ditto FB/Zuck.

And if you ask Grok for advice, it will give you advice Elon approves of (though strongly limited by competence—thus far). Same for other LLMs, of course; just sub in another oligarch.

The people want the worst people impeached, not released.

In a world where their ideological purge of the military is complete, and everyone is on board from POTUS to PFCs, the swastika will be a symbol of their unity, not division.

But until they get rid of all the people who dislike Nazism, it will be divisive. They know; they’re working on it.

I assume it won’t *work*…but it still needs to be done. What kind of signal would it send for Democrats *not* to attempt an impeachment motion?

It may just be signalling while Congress is controlled by cultists, but it’s still important to signal your actual position and intent.

Democrats: “Obey the law.”
Republicans: “Saying that is a capital violation of our restrictions on free speech. Kill all democrats who discourage murder!”

Seems wise to me. The message is clear, but they are *literally* just saying to follow the law, which…normally ought to be difficult to criticise, even if the current POTUS thinks telling people not to commit crimes is a capital speech offence.

In a Matryoshka doll of foolishness, even the example the guy gives is bizarre. Is he saying that people should all take personal responsibility for living next to a fire hydrant? Does he think they’re all privately owned?

…Is it symptomatic of something that seeing all those foods touch so indiscriminately is deeply upsetting to me, or just a lifetime of allergies making me worried about edible parts getting contaminated by hummus?

(I’m leaning towards symptoms.)

IOW: Trump thinks that the White House press pool are his *subordinates*. You can’t be insubordinate against someone unless you’re a subordinate, after all.

Ads hit different when you’re a woman, I gather.

Bribes, gold-coloured tchotchkes, sex-trafficked children, surgery to look like Trump’s latest trophy wife, farmland and small business fire sales after small business owners are squeezed out by tariffs and their workers abducted…

You know, stuff regular folks need.

Tolkien describing the trolls as “calling one another all sorts of perfectly true and applicable names in very loud voices” feels very *applicable* today

I think the related technical term here is “reductio ad absurdum”
