I watched this all the way through and he really does say this verbatim, which is horrifying

It is February 2022. An autocrat has started a genocidal war of choice, destroying global oil markets in the process.

It is February 2026. An autocrat has started a genocidal war of choice, destroying global oil markets in the process.

Reading this ripped from the headlines piece in light of Noem's ouster . . . MAGA exists in a freakish sexualized hellscape of its own fever dreams 👇🏽

Two people I really respect on here are @aubreygilleran.bsky.social and @besttrousers.bsky.social because they are in the trenches of the comments 30 replies deep arguing in good faith with people who honestly do not deserve that good faith. The mild temperament on display is remarkable.

The trend shift in adults per family household is so insane.

its even more insane that every important policymaker and economist thought we were slowly soaking up a glut of homes even into the 2010s.

And it’s even more insane that there are still supply-crisis skeptics today.

so who's ready for them to do a full Cuban blockade in like 2 months lol

I fucking hate the American culture of entitled asshole selfishness. you see it everywhere. the driver assholes going 90 in a school zone. the assholes who don’t leash their dog or pick up their dog shit. the assholes who litter. the assholes who won’t vaccine their kids

This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there.

But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.

I have an aid request for my good friend Liz ( @highinthefields.bsky.social ) who is struggling to make it through this year. She's got very little support and needs it to make it through her phd program

For the many Platner fans here, Peters is a white supremacist, Holocast denying / antisemetic, virulently anti-trans anti-gay right-wing influencer. There's no lack of people making similar points that Platner could be reading and promoting who are not nazis.

We're deploying USNS Comfort to GREENLAND? In the middle of winter? (and "on the way" could be interesting given the huge Nor'easter building off the East Coast)

Artist rendition of Harriet Taylor Mill. White brunette with ringlets framing her blushed cheeks. She has a weird jewel thing draped around her forehead. Like a necklace, but it's her head. A headlace?

Overheard in the Discord:

"We can't not have Mill!"
"We have Mill at home!"

<the Mill we have at home>

Clever of Trump to release a Stancil profile to distract from the—<deletes account>

Helen Andrews is going to find the synthesis between Jim Crow and East Germany so that we can get the worst system imaginable

I don’t even have an AR-15 because, like Sergeant Major Plumley, I understand that if I really need one, there will be plenty lying around.

David Lynch was the oldest millenial

i once wondered why so many tiktok users basically seemed to want media to be in the form of didactic social realism and i get it now

deeply unserious behavior

Stancil is many things, not all of them good or likeable, but he is not demonstrably dishonest. If anything, he is frequently *too* forthright for his own good.

Renowned scientist who studied distant planets fatally shot at his home near LA Authorities suspect Carl Grillmair was shot by man arrested for carjacking, as friends mourn him as ‘irreplaceable’

This is really so tragic. My thoughts are with all my 🔭 colleagues who knew and worked with Carl Grillmair.

And indeed, Trump seemed unperturbed and in downright good humor in his reaction. To understand why, and what’s likely to happen now, let’s return to the framework we’ve been using since Liberation Day, which breaks the tariffs into three categories: the Global Tariff, the Reciprocal Tariffs, and China

here's your hearty laugh of the day, courtesy of Oren Cass' take on the SCOTUS tariff decision

Bessent: I got a feeling the American people won't see the $175 billion in tariff revenue we collected

anyways, read liberal currents not the verge bsky.app/profile/libe...

stancil agreeing to be profiled as part of a piece covering the situation in minneapolis, but then it only being about him, really gives away that our established media/political class *only* care about content and how it plays on twitter/etc.

they don't care about policy, they care about posts

We desperate need a news media that is less terminally online. Alas, a *lot* of their financial incentives being heavily wrapped up in social media now makes that an incredibly difficult ask apparently

Ayn Rand was reincarnated as Aella. I will not be taking questions.

I personally think its great how invested Trump is in becoming more unpopular. Pledging to double down on tariffs after SCOTUS shreds them even tho voters have said they hate them? Trying to start a war w Iran even tho voters say they dislike his fixation on foreign policy stuff? S tier shit.
