MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry

Josh Marshall is absolutely right about this as a matter of constitutional restoration BUT ALSO

You can't do ANY of the "kitchen table" agenda EITHER without abolishing the power of the six corrupt GOP justices. They'll kill any good Dem policy (eg student loan forgiveness) just to watch it die.

NEW: Dr. Oz is quite literally telling his federal employees to eat less.

“You don't have to try every cookie on the holiday table,” wrote Mehmet Oz in an email to all Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services employees.

I think a large part of this that there's this sense that the provincially minded broke whatever implicit truce existed and are now attempting to burn down universities because they had to see a gay person on TV.

i think a lot about how contemporary nationalism, liberalism, and socialism came out of the same cauldron of 1848 where they were regarded as coradical and natural allies against the reactionary alliance

kind of like how for most of human history including when it was actually invented, classic liberalism would have been an unfathomably radical ideology

more seriously I think the main problem here is that mass media in general and social media specifically really, really broke the societal pressure valve of allowing the kind of latently prejudiced to sort of passively opt out of change. ragebait is fundamentally corrosive to social cohesion.

I'm developing a kind of cosmopolitan-chauvinism, I guess you could call it anti-feudalism, as a through line in my politics. The peasant-brained and the local landed gentry are the enemy. Sort of funny that this could describe being either rabidly capitalist or communist.

It's hard to have weathered a life of hearing conspiracy theories you know can't be true, and are provably wrong, only to live long enough where a true conspiracy occurs, out in the open, for all to see, and you feel crazier and crazier as it worsens day by day by day.

What's up my 🧀 cheeseballs (that never gets old, to me at least, deal with it).

Bacon cheddar this time, with a 3-way recipe (ranch, horseradish, or chipotle variations).

It's Sunday snackable, or make a bunch & freeze them for your holiday potlucks & parties! (recipe 🍜🍽️ link in comments)

By the way, we’re gonna need to do this fast. Everybody in Silicon Valley with a clearance needs to piss in a cup within 48 hours of the new Democratic administration taking office.
A future D Secretary of Defense - should one ever come - will need to suspend the clearance of every last person affiliated with a16z, 8VC, Founders, & Sequoia and pull clearances from every portfolio company pending comprehensive drug testing, financial review, & CI screening.

It’s going to hurt.
