MTG is a true believer, just not in anything. Crossfit, MAGA, it doesn't matter. She needs to find something with fervor. It wouldn't totally surprise me of she's a socialist in two years. She's lost, no center. Just resentment that she hasn't found meaning.

my model of marjorie taylor greene is not that she is a committed bigot but that she is a person with a severe axis ii disorder with no fixed beliefs unrelated to her present set of resentments

Great piece! As a fellow 1978er, really appreciate your cultural touchstones, the similarities and the differences, and how they led us to whistle past every graveyard. Thanks for sharing, and am excited about the new novel!

I don't remember them talking this much about No Kings in June. And the media mostly ignored it. But now they're all rushing to downplay it
atrupar.com
Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Incredible musician. That voice!!!

Let's crash the helicopters on protestors and detainees, as well as random buildings, I say, building broad coalitions.

This is horrific, and I think shows how much it will backfire. I obviously don't know the politics of the cemetery workers, but they seem like regular guys. More and more people are seeing the violent, unthinkingly brutal face of fascism. It's not too late.

I think that sounds really good!

Those are absolutely their best ones!

The conspiracy stuff mostly doesn't after a few seasons, but the standalone ones are often great. Some terrible episodes, but some that are still gorgeous

This obvious bullshit aside, of course the dread YOU PERSONALLY FEEL is "palable." That's defintionally true. Amazing (not really) she'd run this idiot quote.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?
A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Haunted Ecologies, by @coreyfarrenkopf.bsky.social, is so incredibly good so far. I try to take comfort in the supernatural but it never lets you forget the horrors that are coming. I've also been moved to tears like three times in the first five stories.

[guy who only watches family feud at 11:30]

Why is there baseball on my TV?
brianoneill.bsky.social
You know what? That's what I'll believe.
brianoneill.bsky.social
Yeah, imagine being like "if this game ends by the 17th lets go grab a beer."
brianoneill.bsky.social
The longer this game goes the more chances I have to figure out the rules of The Floor. It's been a couple years of commercials with no progress, but I think I'm getting closer tonight.

Tigers are going to score two and then so will the Mariners and we'll start over and the Judge will never stop dancing and the Judge will never die

I mean, they have to do it here, right?
