So what is (DVTL) Double Victory?

It is my world-building and alternative history project, intended to culminate in a series of full-length novels!

TLDR: The Final Countdown with zoomers, crank to 11, and mix in heaping doses of Matterhorn, Red Storm Rising, and the Death of Stalin.

What is Double Victory

Welcome to an Alternative Future and a Changed Past

you can get all the shitty little corners where you think its makes sense to use the short end and then you knock your knuckle on something and realize "oh no the long end fits here"

I was looking at Wirecutter for comforter recs, and one of them had been marked up like 100% (93 to 185)

ro khanna coming out as a hardcore antisemite is a horrifying sign of the times but somehow completely unsurprising for him

I don't take a dime from any PAC or lobbyist, including AIPAC.

I am proud to be one of the handful of Democrats standing up against Big Money.

It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder

Fond memories of 2020, when it was decided by the media that it was definitionally impossible for Republicans to be homophobic even if they opposed SSM or gay rights, in the same way that "everyone agrees" that racism is bad, ergo nobody important can ever be accused of racism.

Dave Weigel @daveweigel.bsky.social · 9h

An exchange in tonight's VA Gov debate:

AS: My opponent has previously said that she does not think gay couples should be allowed to marry.

WES: That’s not discrimination!

AS: She said that she is, quote-unquote, morally opposed to same-sex marriage.

WES: That’s not discrimination! (1/2)

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right.

This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 11h

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Paves the way for the Monster Under the Bed Act

RepMTG:

The Sunshine State is getting it RIGHT! 🌞

Florida is shutting down dangerous weather modification and geoengineering schemes because our skies belong to the people, not globalist elites and their experiments.

Now it’s time to do the same nationwide. My Clear Skies Act will END chemical spraying, geoengineering, and weather manipulation across America for good.

No more tampering. No more lies. Just clear, God-given skies! 🇺🇸☀️
