Here's everything I've done so far on broligarchy, all in one place, starting with my Inauguration Day interview on @thedailyshow.com with Jon Stewart, through multiple BlueSky threads on the subject, some other interviews & a couple articles in @theatlantic.com. 1/9

For sure. There will be a premium on "artisanal education/customer service/etc. delivered by real bio-humans."

They're really obsessed with unquestioning obedience, and punishing even the slightest deviation from that standard. Authoritarian personality 101.

You elicited my first true LOL of the day, and it's almost 10pm. Well done.

Bovino is 5'9" the way Trump is 6'3". Only when en pointe.

First read the complaint as stating that "The Book falsely portrays Plaintiff Matthew Taibbi OF BEING an award-winning journalist" and I was like "fair."

I get this way when people write or say "on accident."

Have you ever read this legendary cri de coeur by the late David Foster Wallace? It was just a review of an English usage reference guide, but he turned it into a manifesto.

No, please don't give up. I'll go shoulder to shoulder with you on this.

Who was also rather well known for being a helicopter pilot.

That looks rather specifically like a puppet or doll version of the pedophile formerly known as Prince Andrew.

That's a really insightful comment. I've been dumbfounded by the aggressive rejection of the common good we saw during the pandemic, and still afterwards...the seething resentment by people who ought to know better that they ever had to wear a mask, or social distance, or get vaccinated.

You're free to disagree! I've observed the man via media for ~40 years & have been a social scientist for over 25 years: that means what you're dismissing as just an opinion, like that of anyone else, is informed by some expertise & analysis. I've published extensively on his patterns. Best wishes.

We don't even have grocery delivery here. Uber service technically exists but is so sparse that it takes an hour to get a ride. It's the sticks. Hence having to wait ~12 hours for snow plows.

Guess who forgot what it's like to live in hardcore snow country, didn't plan the grocery run around the weather, and is now snowed in with only the last drops of eggnog and two English muffins until plows arrive tomorrow?

That is true. It is also unrelated to what I wrote, which does not refer to marriage in any way.

Yup. After the decades he's already spent saddling us with the costs of his tax evasion.

Yup. And wait til the crypto bros who also paid big money to put Trump in office come to collect on their investment.

The broligarchs' grift: buying the US government to force down the throats of millions their shitty products rejected by the free market.

Coming soon--crypto bros will get Trump to force their Monopoly Money on us: "Want your benefits? Take them in crypto now, or by check in a few weeks...maybe."

That $270 million he spent on the 2024 campaign is really paying off.

Are there dogs and cats to cuddle with, or were they all eaten by those immigrants JD Vance told us about?

Is that why that branch of human ancestry is called Australopithecus?
