Been saying for a year that the skeleton key to politics right now is annoyance. People are aligned purely based on who they find annoying. Not material factors or even race, it’s about annoyance

He’s gonna try to take us all with him I stg

This is the most terrified I’ve ever felt of nuclear war in my life, if you believed this why wouldn’t you just hit the button. I mean why not

Is it good we have a president with no checks on his power who believes he’s going to hell no matter what he does

They should make more movies about vampires going through divorce court

This is the only good song on the album I said that shit day one

Oh boy a new Trump popularity poll I’m going to make a wild guess that it is 40%, like it always fucking is, like it will remain until he dies, at which point it will shoot up to 60%

Hahahahaahahah

No one would give a single shit. We have like a Dreyfus affair an hour in the civil service and it doesn’t even break into the news cycle

There’s no fucking way we’re having free and fair elections. It’s just not happening. something else will happen, I don’t know what, but it won’t be democratic elections

Sorry, a major Republican just bought Dominion voting systems? The midterms are so cooked man

Sorry feeling glum because I just saw a post on the GenZ subreddit arguing for more and harsher deportations

I’ve been finding it difficult to read history books recently because they’re structured like “information was revealed -> the public reacted” and our current world appears to be that information is revealed and nothing ever happens. People don’t even care? I don’t know what to do with that

It actually makes me insane? I swear to god they just assign all Brits “American” in their heads because, idk, anglosphere and NATO I guess. Or because they’re desperate to make the US the main character

I don’t remember this on twitter???

This website has an insane tankie problem man

The thrill isn’t in getting laid, it’s in how many women you can trick into sleeping with you and reveling in the success of manipulation

I feel like with men like this, the goal they think they have is sex, but the goal they actually have is to humiliate a woman who wanted a genuine connection by using her for sex. Because if what they wanted was just sex there are straightforward ways to get it. It’s like the PUA stuff

I genuinely don’t get the goal here. Is it just sex? You can get sex with less effort than this, or at the very least with money. why go through the effort of faking a connection, I genuinely can’t comprehend this, it feels deranged

Why did we decide to let a bunch of time cube guys rule the world

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

One of the more pernicious tendencies of the negative American exceptionalists is they tend to frame it as if only white people count as genuine American voices or as representative of the will of the volk. Like why is the American Bund more representative than NAACP? Why Lindbergh over du Bois?

I’ve gotten laughed out of multiple rooms for advocating for care for our craft

In Oppenheimer did you guys think he went to Europe because he just really like art and symphonies? He went because America was *behind*
