NEW: A mass propaganda event is about to engulf the US news cycle and what, if anything, survives it will be a lesson for our times.
But it’s what the rest of the world does now that’s key. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.
I love you all and am holding your hand as I say this:
Dems wield zero hard power levers
Dems wield zero hard power levers
it's kind of crazy that there's even any question that democrats are going to do anything about this

Hi everyone let's talk about the Carlisle 52 series of cups, in particular the Carlisle 5216, a topic about which I am extremely normal. In my estimation, a triumph of thoughtful industrial design and is probably my favorite ever mass produced object. 🧵
oh also i stole this from the brewery where we had lunch earlier

A critically important thing to remember in these times is that you can just listen to the Mountain Goats' Amy aka Spent Gladiator 1 from their 2012 album "Transcendental Youth". You can just go listen to it right now.

This, exactly.
These “activists” are the neighbors I see at the farmers market, the neighbors who trick or treat at our house on Halloween, the neighbors whose children I am grooming to become our backup catsitters! The neighbors who distribute whistles at our biweekly meetings!

being a part of this has given me a lot of hope. But i object to the people involved being labeled “activists”. They’re just neighbors. “Activist” is only ever applied to leftists as a way to make them seem less normal. These people are normie AF.

Probably one of my favorite albums of 2025 is Dan Mayer's The Kneeling. Just lovely noise.

I spent the bulk of Christmas Day teaching 14 year old who wants off the algo how to use their brand new CD player. I have never in my life felt more like the holder of sacred arcane knowledge.
Buttons are back. Knobs are back. Dumb devices are back. Own-it-forever software is back. Print is back. Personal websites and chronological feeds are back. Touching grass is back. People keep saying 2015, but it’s not far enough. The entire 2010s were a mistake. We must retvrn to… 2009.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.
