Oh dear! I seem to have dropped my Decision 2022 trading card!
A Decision2022 trading card that includes a line for nicknames Trump has addressed them by. This card is of Bill Clinton and shows that Trump nicknamed him “BUBBA”

The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

A meme with two layers. On top “Women with a Time Machine” with one woman saying “I am your granddaughter” to another woman who replied “really?” Below “Men with a Time Machine” wiht a man saying “hey Graham check out this funny sketch” with an image of the “Mitchell and Webb” are we the Baddies sketch featuring an SS officer with a Death’s Head tattoo on his hat wondering whether their use of skull iconography suggests they are the villains.

Performative outrage: Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the worst of all time. ..

A flying bike would be better anyway. Maybe something like Nausicaa’s glider thing.

Fire and Ice BY ROBERT FROST Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

Yeah it was recognized the first time around that fascism is a contagious and transnational phenomenon. It’s why FDR stressed that the Four Freedoms had to apply “everywhere in the world.”

Didn’t we, as a society, already lampoon this enough for everyone to know it’s a dumb idea?

The way it talks with you is very odd. It doesn’t do these weird attempts at sympathy and emotional connection with me, it tends to stay pretty businesslike.
FWIWI I gave Claude my resume and asked if I’d be a good candidate for my job or if I’d be “just a DEI hire” and it answered as I’d hope:

"And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.

"We will have peace," said Théoden at last thickly and with an effort. Several of the Riders cried out gladly. Théoden held up his hand. "Yes, we will have peace," he said now in a clear voice, "we will have peace, when you and all your works have perished--and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter a men's hearts. You hold out your hand it to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Mordor. Cruel and cold! Even if your war on me was just--as it was not, for were you ten times as wise you would have no right to rule me and mine for your own profit as you desired--even so, what will you say of your torches in Westfold and the children that lie dead there? And they hewed Háma's body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanic. So much for the house of Eorl. A lesser son of great sires am I, but I do not need to lick your fingers. Turn elsewhither. But I fear your voice has lost its charm.”

HDMI is the new porcelain
“The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in a manner, all other arts. I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.” ― John Adams, Letters of John Adams, Addressed to His Wife

Sounds like the final speech from The Great Dictator: www.charliechaplin.com/en/articles/...
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…

I think about this interview with Michale Walzer a lot. www.dissentmagazine.org/online_artic...
I think he’s right, but I don’t actually know if it’s something that can hype anyone up into organizing a political movement around it.
Liberalism in Europe, today, is something like “libertarianism”—it is a right-wing ideology. There used to be a left libertarianism, which is probably better called anarchism, and that persists in various sectarian versions, but it isn’t much in the public eye. And then in the United States, liberalism generally means “New Deal liberalism.” It’s our very modest version of social democracy, and it isn’t a very strong doctrine, since many of its practitioners became neoliberals much too easily. So, the -ism is not a strong or coherent doctrine. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t liberals. But liberals are people who are best defined morally or psychologically; they’re what Lauren Bacall, my favorite actress, called “people who don’t have small minds.” A liberal is someone who’s tolerant of ambiguity, who can join arguments that he doesn’t have to win, who can live with people who disagree, who have different religions or different ideologies. That’s a liberal. But those liberal qualities don’t imply any social or economic doctrine. So, there are liberals in the world, and I can recognize them, but liberalism does not describe their actual political commitment. The word is better used to qualify the kinds of commitments that I write about: democracy, socialism, nationalism, et cetera.

It’s criminal that the biopic didn’t find an excuse to include this scene.
