Part of the cultural orientation for Americans arriving at Camp Humphreys in South Korea is about how Koreans are really gonna take it personally if you’re walking around with the Japanese Rising Sun motif on your t-shirt and whatnot.

I hope one day we learn if the people who send Laura Loomer fake tips are just normal trolls or state-backed disinformation agents. They're all easily debunked within an hour so the fact that she still does this suggests she's simply a fucking idiot.

It's not fair, but there's a kernel of truth to the fact that Trump's fascism isn't considered news because it's not new. That's one of the most basic aspects to newsworthiness taught in Journalism 101. Something by definition needs to be new to be considered news. That's why it's called that.

They’re gonna ban TikTok because the KPOP army made fun of his empty rally that got his internet guru fired. The right made one of the world’s richest men buy Twitter because we were bullying fascists and organizing. American journalism has become almost exclusively transcribing tweets.

This is 100% true. Biden has been, domestically, the best president of my lifetime. But also it's deeply fucked that Biden's climate package is unquestionably the best the US has ever done, and it is NOWHERE NEAR CLOSE TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE. WE HIT THE POINT OF NO RETURN IN 2028!

There’s so much of this shit with people in Trumps orbit. Stephen Miller once ran in the middle of a girls track meet to go “I am a man, I am better at sports”. No point to any of it except to be an awful human being.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

Which is consistent with the "Biden has a cold" story and the way he's sounded at the debate and since. He's hoarse and having difficulty getting words out and the audio engineer was boosting his mic's level to compensate.

Fwiw I don't think that's what was going on. The reason you can hear so much of the room is that they had to boost Biden's mic a lot in order to hear him. He's whispering.

"He's earned second term because of the job he's done" is a perfectly good message for surrogates to make about an incumbent candidate. "I've earned a second term because of the job I've done," is fine, but not really an optimal message for the candidate to make, imho.

I’ve been critical of Attal and his rhetoric over the last 3.5 weeks: but if the RN loses on Sunday, he should be remembered as the one in the Macronist bloc who maneuvered to avoid the president’s bonkers gamble result in a far-right government.

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

Details reported in piece for those who can’t read it —Macron’s team mostly shrugged off results on Sunday. They started celebrating a birthday as returned still coming in —He didn’t bother watching as Prime Minister, Attal, gave forceful speech calling to block far-right. (1/?)
