I like the “we’ve been at war with iran for 40 years” talking point because by implication surviving members of the reagan bush natsec team should be tried for treason

I haven't watched Discovery, but every description I've read of The Burn sounds completely ridiculous. It was caused by an emotional attunement to dilithium? What? I'm sorry to be an old crank but this seems lazy and nonsensical to me.

When someone says Trump and his cronies should be arrested on January 20 2029, they should specify what they'd be charged with. I'm not a lawyer and I have no idea what Vance or Noem or anyone else could be arrested for besides treason or murder. This has become one of my niche pet peeves.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

All In the Family was a sacred text in our house when I was a child. When Harry Met Sally is my wife's favorite movie. I saw The Princess Bride for the first time after a date had canceled on me a few hours before. I was enthralled. I don't know what to do now. R.I.P. Rob Reiner.

Is No Kings a march, a protest, or a demo? Was it coherent, or counterrevolutionry? I don't know! I do know that it's good for people to have fun hating Trump. Maybe it's not tactically optimal, but it's more effective than doing nothing. People did something! Maybe they'll do something else too!

Arguments like ACTUALLY TRUMP ISN'T A KING HE'S A FASCIST are ridiculous. You choose a name that attracts attention and somehow captures the imagination. When Republicans came up with GWOT do you think someone said UM BUT TERROR IS A CONCEPT NOT AN ARMY? Hell no. Precise word usage does not matter.

I just learned that "bridesmaid proposal boxes" exist. Personal opinion, if you have extra money to spend on a wedding, use it on child care for guests and better food.

I hate that I'm afraid Trump's peace plan will work because then "savvy" randos will be calling him Donald the dove and similar nonsense.
Nonetheless I hope it works, but it's quite likely Israel violates it on some pretense within a week. And of course the genocide is nearly complete already.

One of the things that brings me the greatest despair in authoritarianism is watching people react to state violence the way they react to domestic violence.
By justifying anything and everything the perpetrators does through blaming a victim for failing to be submissive enough.

SC "lets" Lisa Cook stay at the federal reserve. I really don't like this phrasing. The attempted firing is illegal and it's not a Constitutional issue. Trump doesn't have the power to fire her, period. SC "won't" make the clearly correct decision is the correct phrasing.

Jfc you do not need credentials and "access" to do journalism. In fact, all those things get you is bullshit and propaganda. Do actual reporting instead of standing in a room with Hegseth while he talks nonsense.
