"Various" is the key word in my first post too. Not "all", maybe not even "most", but they're wavering on a number of fronts and it's the timing that I'm remarking upon.

And to understand their earlier embrace of progressivism as the grudging, profit-driven decision it was. Politicians and executives couldn't *wait* to gleefully roll it back.

It's incumbent upon us, when we're through this shitstorm, not to forget who betrayed us at the first opportunity though.

They basically decided the West had reached a new consensus on rejecting queer rights and racial justice and acted accordingly, rushing through all sorts of socially conservative policies as soon as possible. A year on, they're trying to backtrack.

If you're wondering why various right-wing causes in different countries are suddenly looking super wobbly right now, it's because a lot of powerful people took November 2024 as the watershed moment when progressivism was defeated, and now they're realising it wasn't.

Trying to find the right combination of clay tablets that would show him he was wrong, as if he would suddenly back down if the evidence was placed before him. Instead, he got some other guys to do a bit (a lot) of haruspicy until they got a divination that agreed with him.

Spousebot is reading about a Babylonian king who insisted that a solar eclipse (a bad omen) was actually a sign his own daughter should be installed as high priestess, and how the court astrologers countered this obvious corruption with repeated reference to precedence in their own divinations.

It didn't need any explanation. It was taken as read how fucked up and unhealthy it was. That was maybe 12 years ago? I don't know how we've strayed so far down this ghoulish path.

I know we love to do the Torment Nexus bit, but there was literally a Black Mirror episode about a company that simulated your deceased loved ones via scraping their social media. Spoiler: it doesn't go well.

The incredible, indomitable, inspirational Alice Wong has left us.
I'm so grateful to have known her on social media, and so grateful for all the words she shared with us and all the actions she encouraged us into making.
May we live up to her example.
(so you don't have to go to Instagram)

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country
but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

I 100% believe this is *the* story he's desparate to avoid coming out, and it's also the one thing that would sink him with his base. I mean, that's pretty depressing in a way, but I'll take it.
The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.
