My Senator!
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

I saw a “No Kings, Fascists, or Dictators” handmade poster in the middle of nowhere rural Georgia today in a county that was Trump +24 (across the street from that guy is a house that use to be draped in Trump flags/signs to an excessive degree; the owner has taken those down)

For the first time in a while, House Republicans are reading about consensual adult sex, which has given them cause for concern
Rep. Mark Alford (R-TX) revealed that House Republicans are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show because they suspect it was "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction.

There was only one “family values” halftime show airing tonight and it was on NBC. A celebration of community, marriage, family, and children.

Ok time for another round of discourse: who’s the best conservative artist of the past 75 years?
The whole controversy over Bad Bunny boils down to the simple fact that extreme social conservatism is incapable of producing interesting and compelling art of any kind, and so its adherents must use inferior artists to try to convince themselves that they aren't out of touch.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
“We cannot just abolish ICE!”

A reminder that Charles Murray burned a cross with his teenage friends and acted like there wasn’t anything racist about it in a 1994 NYT profile (also calling your all white boys clubs the Mallows, after the very white snack Marshmallows is not exactly subtle):
!["While there is much to admire about the industry and inquisitiveness of Murray's teen-age years, there is at least one adventure that he understandably deletes from the story — the night he helped his friends burn a cross. They had formed a kind of good guys' gang, "the Mallows," whose very name, from marshmallows, was a play on their own softness. In the fall of 1960, during their senior year, they nailed some scrap wood into a cross, adorned it with fireworks and set it ablaze on a hill beside the police station, with marshmallows scattered as a calling card.
Rutledge [a social worker and former juvenile delinquent] who was still hanging around the pool hall [and considers some of Murray's other memories to be idealized] recalls his astonishment the next day when the talk turned to racial persecution in a town with two black families. "There wouldn't have been a racist thought in our simple-minded minds," he says. "That's how unaware we were."
A long pause follows when Murray is reminded of the event. "Incredibly, incredibly dumb," he says. "But it never crossed our minds that this had any larger significance.
And I look back on that and say, 'How on earth could we be so oblivious?' I guess it says something about that day and age that it didn't cross our minds" (p. 4).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ke6zfjsauxvduo5pmsfdn5fx/bafkreiekowb5zja3rfi2q6rras3yakbbvj5bdgxb5c4kxgck2rrkmvsciu@jpeg)

WAPO’s Ukraine correspondent was fired while in a war zone, but McArdle, who adds nothing of value to journalism and spends her free time going to bat for pedophiles, kept her job…
If we lived in a healthy society, these people would be fired and blacklisted

This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

I just found out that Matt Damon is not Greek… I am so tired of this woke bullshit! He should have cast Stavros Halkias
Forgive me, Jesus, because I genuinely deeply enjoy how perpetually unhappy and desolate these losers are.

It’s amazing that just a little over a year ago MAGA (and their media pals) had assured themselves they had finally won the culture and now the culture is as rabidly anti-MAGA as it’s ever been with a Spanish-singing, Puerto-Rican artist about to play the halftime show for America’s biggest TV event
