A thing I think we miss is that the “authoritarian playbook” isn’t a set of instructions authoritarians are reading from, it’s just a list of things that happen when narcissists get too much power.

seems like trump mainly uses “low IQ” to describe black people. of a piece with his birtherism and his insistence that there are specific, low-wage “black jobs” that must be protected from immigrants

Recently I was in a meeting about how to detoxify discourse in the US. While discussing techniques for conveying the confidence of expertise, I referred to RFK jr. as being “obsessed with the shit he is full of” so I may be part of the problem.

I know the Senate has a tradition of being the less hostile chamber, but I would love to see one Dem Senator today, stand up & demand the resignation not just of Pete Hegseth, but of every Senator who voted to confirm him.
They know what they voted for.

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things:
you don't get to talk about it.
you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story.
it's *always* shut the fuck up friday

Anyone else notice how Trump went to the Super Bowl and yet they managed to get on with the broadcast and didn’t feel the need to show him every fifteen minutes while talking about him in the tone of an adoring fan? Weird. Didn’t know that was possible.

As a fun little thought experiment just imagine if Obama had come into office for his second term like, my boy here is going to be seizing the levers of federal financial power with a team of teenagers he chose. There must be no oversight of their work. He is not from this country btw.

Every time I see a story about a hockey player suiting up with his head barely stitched closed I want to remind them that there are a ton of games. Do they know that? There are so, so many games. You could probably sit one out and people would understand.
