In retrospect having an elite class composed of people who are really good at rising through the ranks by not rocking the boat left us in a really, really bad place at the moment that elite institutions faced their greatest moral test
One of my most conservative-coded opinions is that one of the reasons we're in this mess is because of the profound decadence, solipsism, moral rot, and general lack of personal virtue afflicting much of the upper PMC / bourgeoisie.

The Simville Picayune recommends Swedish Cleaners, for all your post-death cleaning needs. Gather up all those weirdly shaped pieces of your dearly departed family member's life and have it hauled away. Respectful service and affordable prices.
All their longing discarded, or your money back!

There's no better example of how this entire society is structured around the concept that the white, straight, mainly conservative and "Christian" group must always be shown the utmost respect, while being given the right to decide if/when/how much to respect anyone from any other group receives.

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.

I’m in DC looking for these new species of pig but I’m not seeing them. Where is Sus Commitatus (National Guard) habitat? Are they only nocturnal?

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.
Heightened Scrutiny, a very good doc about the Supreme Court case that was just ruled on, does an impeccable and infuriating job laying out just how culpable the NYT and Atlantic are for the nation’s transphobia www.avclub.com/sundance-202...

“Crazy how states plan to criminally investigate every miscarriage but they “don’t have the resources” to test rape kits or enforce restraining orders.”
1000s of rape kits sit on the shelves untested, but prosecutors in W Virginia are now actively pursuing people who have *miscarriages*.

So much for the rules-based international order lol. Intimidating judges because they’re investigating your empire is a great look
Trump administration imposes sanctions on four ICC judges in unprecedented move
President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday imposed sanctions on four judges at the International Criminal Court, an unprecedented retaliation over the war tribunal's investigation into alleged war crimes by U.S. troops in Afghanistan and over the court's issuance of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Pretty wild to be living in a time when humans are being forced to work in order to even be considered deserving of life or even to be considered human at all, while simultaneously human labor is being systematically eliminated from the concept of work.

The #tariffs were cancelled today. Or was it yesterday; I can't be sure. The tweet from Bloomberg says: TOTAL RESET NEGOTIATED. RESET TOMORROW. 30% PERCENT TARIFFS ACROSS THE BOARD. Which leaves the matter doubtful; it could have been yesterday
