“At last, a public intellectual who is not afraid to say it.” - Mr. Bitch
Current events make me a lot more sympathetic to “loss of virtue” as an explanation for past sweeping events. I don’t know how you explain what’s going on without reference to a widespread moral collapse that isn’t obviously reducible to other factors.

Something about Ghost of Yōtei just doesn’t grab me the same way Tsushima did

If you are in Congress, I have to think that somewhere down in your soul, buried deep beneath the decades of cynical self-promotion and compromise of principles, some part of you once loved your country and wished to serve it. Would be nice if some of them could remember that now.

This dude’s brains are melting out through his ears in real time. Not even he was this fucking stupid and vicious six months ago. He has dementia and it’s moving fast.

Time is a flat circle! 😊
I thought the Pats were playing with house money and I was laid back. Now today is the de facto AFC Championship Game and I’m nervous. I guess that’s just the struggle of being a Patriots fan. If it were easy everyone would do it.

It has unfortunately come to my attention that @pnwdude18.bsky.social recently passed away. He was a kind, funny, insightful person, and a good friend. Please pray for the repose of his soul.

Feeling cautiously whitepilled the last few days. This isn’t how societies that are acquiescing to authoritarian consolidation behave.
HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.

Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

*Trump dies at age 90, having ruled as absolute dictator for over a decade. Vance succeeds as chairman of the one-party state*

Hmmm, methinks this is a freaking distraction…

The President is preparing to destroy NATO and the Federal Reserve while using his personal paramilitary to wage war on the American people. We are in a state of emergency and it is imperative he be removed from power as soon as possible.

Wife needed butter for a recipe last night and we were out. I didn’t want to go to the grocery store so I went to the fancy liquor store down the street and bought some $9 French butter.

I might be a $9 French butter guy now.

Feels like a missed opportunity by the NFL that there’s no 1pm game on Wild Card Saturday

Something that feels new: I don’t think there’s one single person who actually believes Renee Good was a domestic terrorist. I think every person who claims to, without exception, is consciously and willfully lying. I don’t typically think that.

I’m just voting for whatever Democrat in 2028 wants to most aggressively prosecute Trump/members of his admin. All I care about.
