I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Sometimes I can laugh at the president or roll my eyes when he says something wild or ridiculous.

This one just makes me so sad. So deeply sad. I imagine some of you feel the same. Please recognize that, care for it and yourself. It’s rough out there.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The reason we have laws* against bribery is that companies will absolutely bribe politicians at the very first opportunity if it is good for the bottom line, because they see it as a sound business decision, not a civilizational betrayal.

I won't pretend I've listened a TON, but this is my sense of the issue with Joe Rogan: It's less that he has some calculated right-wing agenda he's pushing, and more that he's a credulous meathead who will blithely nod along to guests spouting absolute gibberish.

Pete Hegseth has made this heretic white Evangelical church the de facto established church of the Pentagon.
Pete Hegseth’s church is part of Wilson’s sect, and Hegseth has praised Wilson.
Christian Nationalist, Doug Wilson, confirms that children who don’t accept and follow their parent’s religious beliefs should be turned over to the State for capital punishment (be put to death). This fanaticism is real:

Very rare to see someone lay out so explicitly that they do not consider "never again" to be a universalist creed. I don't know how people who talk like this can stand to look themselves in the mirror.
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Drip/pour over coffee is a very good and I want an apology from all the euros who have trashed it over the years. Especially the ones who tried to claim that an Americano is somehow an acceptable substitute
"In a nation renowned for sophisticated tastes, the acerbic, harsh espresso served in many bistros was not just surprising, but seemingly inexplicable."

This is why I always used to chuckle when Parisians offhandedly dissed Starbucks. The problem is that the French think their coffee is good.
In Paris, the next coffee revolution is quietly brewing

As a bamboo knower, I feel like I should point out there is two kinds:

1.) Clumping bamboo, which is named that because it clumps together.

2.) Running bamboo, which is named that if your partner is running around on you with guys who look like Chester Copperpot from Goonies
