straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country - sums up this entire cohort’s mindset and behavior
more confirmation that lurking clearly behind this idea of the “heritage american” is a straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country, such that vermeule has to hallucinate a framework to justify his desire to jettison the clear meaning of the 14th amendment
I had missed this latest delirium by Adrian Vermeule on birthright citizenship

'Common law?! NAH, it's the Roman law of adoption that should govern the interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution!'

The fact they treat prompt writing as a coveted skill is such a tragic self-own and they don’t even get it. Society is being pressed through cheesecloth by illiterati.

Amazing list, saving for the future
2025 Interview Recap!

This marks four years of brilliant authors talking with me about their books for @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social. Music is a collective, and the authors I spoke with this year each had amazing things to say from their own place within it.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.

I fucking loathe these smug ass art-hating self-congratulating ghouls & the system that allows them to fail upwards into unfathomable wealth on the backs of 1000s of overworked creative people whose livelihoods get passed around like trading cards every time these dillwads have a stonks circle-jerk.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” has always been a way to smear people for having a logical, rational response to Trump having power. The real TDS is normalizing Trump’s power and the way he abuses it

Just in case any journalist or editor reading this is tempted to minimize Trump's Reiner post because it's a "showbiz thing" and "real" stories are happening: No. It's a President thing and a decency thing, and if you don't understand that those things are newsworthy, you are failing in your duties.

YES but further: his elevation has undoubtedly & tangibly made being *a good person* harder. Maybe this feeling is related to the bad-vibes-curtain hanging over the decade?

My resentment is hot, deep and extends to anyone who ever endorsed/donated/voted for or defended this in any and all ways.
a pathetic excuse for a man whose existence is a continual affront to everything good in this world.

He gives them permission to be the worst of inhumanity and proves that the worst beta male, full of grievances and incompetence wrapped up in a toddler tantrum, can become the bully president.

Genuinely think our society is lost if we can’t find a way to start caring that the ostensibly most powerful man in the world acts like this.
this is one of the most psychotic things Trump has ever posted
