ADHD-afflicted weirdo, Roman Catholic husband and father. Oddly interested in the intersection of technology and theology. Software developer, military technology nut. Has big opinions but absolutely no way to do anything useful with them.

Got a serious question for y'all to ponder. What DID Jesus do?

Many things, but the major reason Christianity exists as a belief system was that he took all of our sufferings upon himself. 1/4

Workshopping a take that says social democracy is the pro-market ideology now because oligarchs have accumulated sufficient wealth to prevent losses from being a meaningful disciplinary tool.

I was in a personality cult for an abusive priest in a millenarian religious movement for a very long time. I understand Johnson completely. Some deeply religious men are the natural born gaslighting enablers for the abusive cult leader. This is what they do. They honestly believe they're right.
I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

The alternative to a society with redemption is not an accountable society. Instead it is a society where the powerful simply declare themselves forgiven and the weak run to the shelter of the powerful to be granted pardon.

We have to build something better than that.

Marines: halted exercise after firing 6 155 mm rounds because one prematurely detonated over the highway

MAGA: DIDN’T HAPPEN NERDS

Marines: we’ve opened an investigation and believe a fuze failed

Nothing is real to MAGA, that's what you need to understand. Everything can be true or false at any time, or even the same time, depending on what they need to believe in order to feel catharsis. They have created vast, insular social environments for the purpose of endless emotional indulgence.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind
The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

This is where we need to go.

We need to reject performative irony that fuels giving up or Right Wing radicalization and move past seeing ourselves as products and brands that need curated and marketed.

The purpose is multi fold but the current protests are signal a different purpose than Trump I.

The purpose is to demonstrate capacity to foment a color revolution if the regime tries to maintain its grip on power illicitly.

It demonstrates the power to render the polity ungovernable.
Here is my question, and it’s an earnest one I promise: whose mind will it change and to what end?

I don’t have any answers about what we need to do. But like, we did protests in 2017, and 2020. Among the biggest in NATIONAL HISTORY. Voting in my opinion has a much more direct effect than this.
The numbers I am seeing, and the breadth of people and places with basically no arrests and so forth, seem to me an unqualified political loss for them. It is a show of strength rather than the fight itself, but you can’t downplay it.

next time the president disappears for a few days we should all say he's jacking off, so when he resurfaces instead of saying "im not dead actually" he has to say the other thing

Look at how the Republicans are setting *everything on fire* to keep the Epstein files hidden, you know it's gotta involve like unmarked graves, not just child sex trafficking.

The longer they keep this up and harder they try, the more heinous it's gotta be

Even if the Democrats wanted to fold, the shutdown won't end before next week if Little Mikey doesn't have the balls to let votes happen.
It's official: Speaker Johnson just cancelled all votes in the House next week.

The next scheduled voting day is 10/27; the last time the House was in session was 9/19.

the “Trump has illegally seized the power of the purse from Congress” crisis has a comms problem - its a massive issue but that doesn’t fit on a slogan

Then i realized we have one direct from our founders: “no taxation without representation”

If that means some random GS-14s need to be convicted of Big Boy federal crimes so be it, these people are never again going to do the right thing otherwise

If Congress doesn't want to assert their Art I prerogatives and the exec doesn't want to enforce the law then we need a new governing document

Post-Trump government reform is obviously going to have to include moving a bunch of agencies out of the executive, but I think it probably also needs to include the creation of a watchdog org under congress that explicitly *always* has standing for constitutional violations by the executive.

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.

And let me highlight the DISCIPLINE at play here and across the country, too.

They are trying to goad protestors into lighting a Reichstag fire and those efforts are being met with suggestive hip thrusts from a giant inflatable frog.

This is movement not taking the bait.
