I don't think Trump himself is smart enough to play this game and I don't know if they guys controlling him would have played this particular move but I think this is absolutely right in general.
Trump's performance, MTG's about face, Rogan questioning the Big Lie, it's protective ass-covering as we head into the midterms and beyond with an increasingly uneasy populace. It's a ruse. And the media will largely fall for it.

Loolllll what is even happening?
Huge victory for Zohran Mamdani in the Oval Office. He stuck to his guns, spoke about affordability, proudly declared himself a Democratic Socialist, condemned genocide in Gaza, did not back down from calling Trump a “fascist,” and still got Trump to praise him, undermining months of GOP attacks.

Started Giovanni's Room today at lunch & am already halfway through. What a gorgeous book. Is it too facile to make Genet comparisons? Certainly I find in Baldwin more beauty & less vulgarity. More melancholy too. But it's the same 5am streets of Paris belonging to gangs of boys spilling from bars.

Looks like their plan to boost productivity by ushering everyone back to the office in an ongoing pandemic didn't play out as expected

Got my covid shot today and the other arm, in which I got my flu shot two weeks ago, is also hurting. Shenanigans!!!

A neat way for fascists to get around you taking an interest in say, school board elections, is to just eliminate school boards. Ahem.
Beware, Canada. First the fascists come for the schools & local governments. Don't let the bastards get a foot in the door.

I'm about almost done and it really feels different than I thought it would. I was suspicious, thought "oh please don't ask me to care about some dude's awkward sexuality/relationships/masculinity crisis," especially given all we've been reading about men's sexuality in the past few days.

I was thinking about how for a long time social media made doing a thing about showing people that you are doing the thing and not about the thing at all. And therefore one spent less time enjoying the thing. Anyway, doing a thing later. I'll have fun probably.

I will instead tell you what's on my coffee table now: a collection of Arthur Machen newspaper pieces, which are sort of like if Andy Rooney was nostalgic for Dickensian London & three issues of the London Review of Books, all of which arrived at once because the postal strike.
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

Any conversation about return to office vs work from home that does not acknowledge the ongoing pandemic is ignorant, ableist and destined to miss the mark.
Many, including disabled people but not only disabled know they cannot risk getting COVID and offices haven’t taken steps to protect workers.

In defining rape in law and public discourse, Catharine MacKinnon wrote, "The level of acceptable force is adjudicated starting just above the level set by what is seen as normal male sexual behavior, including the normal level of force, rather than at the victim's, or women's, point of violation."

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.

People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?
Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

But instead of being a disqualifying thing, for many people it's aspirational. And if they can't be the rich guy who rapes with impunity, by god they'll vote for that guy. 🤩

Again, I'm not being glib. I've said a million times the Access Hollywood tapes were actually helpful to him.
The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

I wasn't being all Gen X wry and cynical about this by the way. I just think they are all completely rotten to the core. They actively campaign on shit like this. Culturally and politically. The deep rot of every institution. The ease with which they operated and diverted attention.
I'm just not sure that a population that thinks women should 1) be married to middle aged men at 14 2) stay in the home only 3) die from forced childbirth (to be replaced by another 14-yr old) really cares that much about Epstein.
