“He took away abortion and he wants to be a dictator” should be plastered on every surface and blaring out of every speaker.

I think this is true but also we tend to think of Jim Crow as “separate water fountains” rather than “white supremicist death squads and one party rule ,” but it had both!

This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

I cannot for the life of me get into stories about people’s kids. Or worse, the nieces and nephews. They’re just… not usually interesting.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

When Trump tweeted out what became the transgender military ban with a 17-minute gap between tweets, I was on the phone with someone on the JCS. During the lag, we debated if we'd feel it if he nuked North Korea.

Hillary had a cold and the media treated it like she was on death’s door. The same thing awaits Harris if Joe drops out. Maybe it’s the media that needs to be asking themselves what the problem is.

I know Biden’s team isn’t, you know, looking at Bluesky but I swear to god this would help. The NYT et al might not report it. But it’s worth a shot to get the party in line.

I hate the way the concept of p-zombies, a metaphor for explaining an immaterial distinction a lot of people don't grasp, has become a way to suggest that Normies, unlike the speaker who is an enlightened real person, are literally mindless and thoughtless.

Sometimes you have to love British euphemisms. If someone showed up drunk on live television, the BBC would say that they were "tired and emotional" to evade a libel lawsuit.

I know the old renovated-into-apartments ones I’ve lived in had very little insulation. I’d imagine if they actually were insulated properly it’d be better than freestanding in that regard though.

UK politics can be grim, but election night there with constituencies being largely ungerrymandered, losers standing next to winners of podiums, and the "election season is 6 weeks, not 2 years" default is incredibly wholesome

Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million. Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.

If you want to make the case that Biden should step aside anyway, that's fine. But the entire concept of giving the right speech or deploying the perfect "framing" to make this not look extremely bad for Democrats just isn't possible in the media environment we have.

Listen to the Biden interview. Its 15ish minutes of Biden talking extemporaneously perfectly well. But like several other public events over the last several days, this is getting brushed aside because the narrative that political news media wants to go with is set.

I’m also unclear if the game is taking place when the ttrpg is set (in the mid 800s of M41) or in the “present” of WH40k! It would explain how the worlds visited have real imperial colonies that are pretty complete I guess if it’s 300 years later...
