So how about it, Mr. Chairman? Why not launch a probe to find out whether Fox’s editing issue was “inadvertent,” as they claim — or, as certainly seems possible given the network’s record, “an intentional effort to mislead the American people”?

The data economy has made us dumber in ways that also make us vulnerable to authoritarian takover. We are have become both cynical and gullible in the sense we think we are too jaded be fooled and as a result are tricked more easily www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Keep calling out Fox BS propaganda, this is so disrespectful to both Dignified Transfers just to make Trump look good

This would be a crime against humanity, but otherwise I agree.

Long-stem wine glasses are absurd.
The Harris campaign performed well, as far as campaigns go, in that she was multiple points closer in the swing states the campaign focused on, and had a smaller loss than most of the world's incumbent parties.
There wasn't One Weird Trick she didn't do, nor One Big Mistake that cost it all. Sorry.
Very interesting from @polphilpod.bsky.social.

"Trump was animated when describing the bloodied and mangled bodies of people. This obsession...is a hallmark of right-wing politics in America...America's descent into lawless, violent government is at least a little bit a story of psychosexual unmooring."

Holy fuck, I just remembered that daylight saving time starts tomorrow and I’m SO MAD.
Had to doublecheck the date on this
Remember how this guy lobbied hard to get a pardon for a war criminal who slaughtered children? Turns out that’s literally his entire philosophy of armed conflict
The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.
I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.
MAGA Unreality vs the World
The U.S. government is in the hands of people who are fully detached from reality. That is a major weakness for the regime – but also a source of further radicalization.
Some thoughts from my new piece:
🧵

I believe MAGA will ultimately fail to consolidate authoritarian rule. But for the time being, the powers of the U.S. government are in the hands of a regime that is hellbent on imposing its unreality on America and the world.
And that is truly frightening.

Who got us into "a situation like this?"
one of the reasons (aside from the grotesque corruption) is the U.S. has spent the last 50 years pickling in "free market libertarian think tank" propaganda claiming government is always inherently bad, and ALL and ANY regulation stifles entrepreneurial spirit and innovation
What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.
yes, nothing says "innovation reinvention" like a nepobaby trust fund brat with no meaningful experience being gifted a massive hollywood empire by his technofascist dad, who leveraged his corrupt influence over the country's pudding-headed autocrats to box out competitors (?)
Iraq war was started on a presidential lie but it feel like somehow the Iran war was started on something worse: a total presidential failure to comprehend even the most basic facts of the situation
It’s distraction inception all the time apparently to some people
Yo dawg, I heard you like distractions..
this is fucking shocking, and while i know politics journalists think it's cliché to point this out, a democratic president would be impeached for delivering this speech in this way, and rightly so.
okay, this *specific* part feels like a parody of the actual iraq war
It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.
