I'm a psychologist and we need to use Rule Zero of the Internet:
Don't Feed The Trolls.
What trolls want is attention. So any engagement with them encourages them.
Even disagreeing with them.
Even disproving them.
It all counts as "attention", so it makes them behave worse.
Block them. Move on.

Never forget that the Republicans have the power to stop Trump, but they're not using it because they're a combination of cowards, traitors, and opportunists.
Like Marco Rubio: who is all three.

This crisis is happening because rich Americans are incredibly dumb.
All they had to do was make sure everyone had a decent quality of life.
Instead they ensured that people need food stamps even if they have full time job and 40% of the country doesn't qualify for income tax.

Trump was given a Nobel trophy and he still whined about not winning a peace prize in that ridiculous letter he just sent to Denmark.
Because you don't stop a bully by giving them what they want. It just incentivizes them to ask for more.
They escalate until someone stops them.

Never trust a Minister of Education who sends their kids to a private school.
It means they think government schools aren't good enough, and they have no intention of fixing things any time soon.

Can we talk about the fact that Venezuela's economic crisis got worse because Maduro implemented changes that made the country more capitalist, not socialist?
Seems he wanted Venezuela to be like Russia: a kleptocratic capitalist dictatorship with him at the head.

One of the advantages of PC over Mac is that if a company decides that you should be forced to pay for your software every month for the rest of your life you have access to "other" methods.
Also, Season 2 of One Piece comes out soon.

Fact of the Day:
Cops deliberately give conflicting instructions so that they have an excuse to do whatever they want to their victims.
If you make rules that are impossible to follow then you always have an excuse to "punish" someone.
Abusive parents do the exact same thing to their kids.

I finally understand the genius of the AI tech bros.
They're using a very powerful form of "supply side economics".
They've created LLMs. So by doing so they've also created a demand for them in the market.
It's a move worthy of Milton Friedman himself.

Because of 'Jarhead 3' I have now been exposed to the phrase "I wanted to dust off a bigger fish to fry".

I know the film is straight-up propaganda with no respect for its audience but I feel like the writer didn't even respect themselves with a line like that.

I understand JD Vance's statement about Renee Good's murder.

He's signalling to law enforcement that the Trump Admin. will support them no matter how evil they get.
Because he knows they'll need partisan law enforcement later.

Stephen Miller asked "by what right does Denmark control Greenland?"
Someone should really tell him that Greenland's status was asserted by the United States in a treaty where the US was given the Virgin Islands.
So it was actually the USA who ratified Denmark's control of Greenland.

Stephen Miller pitching a "might makes right" global order at a time where the US's power is fading might be the perfect summary of the Trump administration.

Marco Rubio must know that when the US engages in regime change things in that country get worse, not better.
But he still wants to topple leaders all over, especially in Cuba.
The only conclusion I can draw is that he hates Cuba, and wants it to suffer.
Or maybe he's just stupid 🤷
