Man goes to doctor. Says, "doctor, I am so depressed. I only want to sleep all the time. I am always hungry and thirsty, and I spend all my time on the toilet urinating. My wife says my breath smells like sour milk. What can I do?"
Doctor says "solution is simple. Go and see great clown Pagliacci,"

this is exactly right. "popularism" in practice amounts to an abdication of political leadership!
This part of our response essay is where I'm at. Boiling down all of politics to electoralism has been absolutely terrible for resisting rising authoritarianism.

The press has done a lot over the years to manufacture presidential gravitas and prestige, going above their expected duties as state stenographers.
But I don't think any other president has had so much free PR and image management coordinated across so many media outlets, not even close

"new tone" was a totally imaginary story that the media invented to try to staunch the bleeding Trump was suffering this weekend and help move past what turned out to be a completely disastrous story for the administration
so much for the ✌️”new tone”✌️

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

if you were in college during your first “No Blood For Oil” protest then now is a good time to discuss with your doctor which age-appropriate cancer screenings are right for you.

the default tone of right-wing writing on Mamdani at the moment is sweatily pathetic
Polling suggests Israel is historically unpopular in the demographic corresponding with people likely to have small children, so I need someone smarter than me to explain how picking a fight with Ms. Rachel of all people makes any sense whatsoever. nypost.com/2025/12/26/o...

OPEN SPOT ALERT! There is an ID fellowship spot available at Boston Medical Center. Incredible team, sane workload (including consult caps and non-teaching service). Highly recommended if you're interested in TB/global health, HIV, SUD, or AMR/stewardship. Message me if interested! #IDsky #MedSky

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
