My dog’s motto is: Semper venter fricantur
The American president is demolishing the eastern half of the White House to build a gigantic gilded ballroom while millions of government workers go unpaid during a cost of living crisis.

The politics should be *apocalyptic* for him but he really does seem immune to the laws of political physics.

New 'state of climate action' report gives you a much better picture than daily headlines about contextless solar panel or EV sales

🧡 Across the world, democracy isn’t just under pressure, it’s facing epistemic collapse: a breakdown in the shared ability to know what’s true, to reason together and to hold power to account.

A new guest paper by @eliothiggins.bsky.social and @drnataliemartin.bsky.social explores how to fix it.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

β€œOur Lord is up there now, looking down on the world, thinking, the floods and the famine can wait, for there is a girl in Derry who needs me to magically alter the contents of an envelope.”
Humans can rationalize in both directions, from premises to a conclusion or from a conclusion to premises. When someone as prominent as Trump says crazy things, a common coping mechanism is to make it make sense, with the consequence that rationalizing the crazy serves to normalize it.
This interaction right here is why I'm not particularly hopeful
