here's an idea: instead of Paris, Trump could be exiled to Saxony-Anhalt where people can listen to his stories of how he personally and single-handedly rescued everyone from inside both towers on 9/11
and they can call him "sir"
and maybe he could go there now and never come back

In "It Can't Happen Here," after he's deposed by the SecState, Pres. Buzz Windrip is allowed to go into exile in Europe. Among his fellow exiles, he is pleased to find people who will listen to his stories and call him "sir."
Not my first choice for Trump's destiny, but I'd accept it.

Spent a lovely evening a few years ago with Ms. Gloria Steinem. AI remembers it somewhat differently but we need AI like a fish needs a bicycle.
Fair winds, Ms. G. You’ll be dearly missed.

One year ago today, and there's still no sign that a movie or series will be made from this book.
It's probably just as well, given how @netflix.com botched the Guiteau story.

"It Can't Happen Here" needs to be made into a Netflix movie or series that's true to the novel. bsky.app/profile/jell...
From chapter 20 of "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis:

"On a day in late October, suddenly striking in every city and village and back-hill hide-out, the Corpos ended all crime in America forever, so titanic a feat that it was mentioned in the London Times."

Today in 1957 at the Nevada Test Site, the United States conducted Plumbbob SMOKY, a 44-kiloton thermonuclear test detonated atop a 700-foot steel tower. SMOKY created huge amounts of radioactive fallout, exposing 3,224 troops performing post-shot maneuvers near ground zero to high radiation levels.

Some people are so universally beloved that I think we shouldn’t be told when they die. Let us figure it out eventually but never receive confirmation. We should always be able to idly speculate that somehow there’s a chance they *could* still be alive

Anyone who doesn't think we had autistic kids back in the day didn't know the kids I knew in elementary school, the ones that were called "hyper" or "spastic" or were suspected of having "water on the brain," etc. Kids today are a lot better off with a formal diagnosis and treatment.

So, in the last two days the Trump
Administration sent the commander of Centcom to speak to the sailors on USS Abraham Lincoln, and confirmed that a replacement carrier is on the way.
IOW, they confirmed all the stories of the crisis on the carrier.

They were too stupid to understand the source of American hegemony and memed each other into thinking they lived in a failed state because there wasn't enough bravado in our imperialism. Took less than a year to wreck the whole edifice. Incredible
the reactionaries sort of thought you could just thrust your chest out and slap a bunch of paint and memes on things and recover national pride and a lost era of white male triumph or whatever. how's your national pride now. are you proud yet. are you feeling strong

THREAD: When we talk about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we typically focus on August 6 and August 9. But August 8, 1945, is also one of the most important dates for understanding those unprecedented attacks. (This is an approved adaptation of a Twitter thread written by @wellerstein.bsky.social in 2020.)
