Films, fiber arts, stuff, more stuff. And things. Anti-fascism, anti-anti-science, anti-misinformation, anti-antidisestablishmentarianism, anti-ants living in my stove.

Now that the NYT has learned they can't backdoor a Democratic coalition within the party to force Biden out to give Trump the leg up their billionaire owner wants (cuz Biden won't give them an interview), they're going with the journalistic malpractice of trying to report random diagnoses for Biden.

If any of these governors appear on any news show the first question they get needs to be "why do you want poor children to starve?"

Ignore the punditocracy; pay attention to real political scientists & historians & people who have actually managed successful political campaigns & know how the political calculus actually works. The punditocracy is the largest source of natural gas known to man. They're a locked echo-chamber.

I'm binging Lost and finding it funny how it's so low quality and also high quality. For example they overspent on the orchestra and had nothing left for accent coaches.

It's washed out, so who cares? It's better than putting raw chicken/fish in a bowl, that bothers me. I usually marinate in a saucepan so I can boil away the germs.

This means the discourse on Project 2025 is having an effect. Every media outlet should hammer this. Biden ads and other Democrat ads should flash highlights from Project 2025 with scary voice-overs.

She's gotta be an op or MAGA. No one can legitimately obsess that much over Biden being sleepy.

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.

Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.

The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.

Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

Shit like this and the opening theme for Old Gods of Appalachia make me mad that I spent so long avoiding country music because of how bad most of the commercial stuff is. I want to hear a man play a banjo in a way that suggests he has seen the devil

Being really annoying is praxis. Phone, email, fax, show up in person if that’s an option. Just don’t let up until you’re too irritating to ignore.

It's important to note that this single-post analysis above is entirely consistent with a much more comprehensive analysis by @ketanjoshi.co showing that changes in the X algorithm and moderation policies that began in Oct 2022 have massively favoured trolls and penalized climate scientists.

Over the weekend, one of the major party presidential candidates promoted the idea of trying a former congresswoman for treason with televised military tribunals, and I’ll bet you haven’t seen a news article—much less a catastrophizing op-ed—about it.

A brokered Democratic convention, with massive protests just outside the convention hall, is Trump's dream scenario. 24 hours later, I'm astounded at how many people claiming to be worried about an authoritarian America under Trump want to create the perfect storm for him to seize power.
