Authoritarian regimes often work by co-opting people into their crimes and thus giving them a vested interest in maintaining the regime lest crimes get punished. Old as the hills. Do none of you study history?

The rank bigotry of today’s nativism is striking, but the utter stupidity of today’s nativism is almost as impressive.

The Republicans really haven’t given healthcare policy even a few moments of thought. Every idea is just “take what insurance already is and make it less.”
Marshall on the GOP healthcare plan: "The other thing I would do is establish an invisible high-risk insurance pool, a reinsurance pool. And when people reach a certain amount of spending, say for cancer, they would go into this reinsurance pool & that protects everybody from a preexisting issue"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

One of my favorite things about the Stones is their catalogue.
So rich and diverse.
I love all eras, just depends on what mood I’m in.
I love this wonderfully weird album.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.
