finally, after years, a reason to say “Bouie is wrong”
rogue one is bad folks. i have believed this since i saw it in theaters and no subsequent rewatch has changed my mind. basically a chop job until the final sequence, which is good (for star wars)

A 2 cents that seems obvious to me: Donald Trump has THE JUICE and with Zohran he finally got someone in his office who also has THE JUICE.
Stone Cold Steve Austin sees The Rock start getting pops, he knows THAT is who you want to be in the ring with. Enemies, friends, doesn't matter. Heat is heat.

Even if we have free elections in 2028 & Trump leaves office, he'll die a free man in his bed one day, & his WH/Cabinet officials will go on to lucrative media, academic, & business sinecures after his presidency. We all know this. It's grotesque. But it's the central feature of 🇺🇸 politics forever.
This is the direct consequence of no senior officials, let alone GWB, paying any legal, personal, or professional price at all for torture & Abu Ghraib two decades ago. Our polity completely fails at elite accountability, and so here we are, on the doorstep of full-on fascism.
Please remember this torture happened to *every single person* who was kidnapped by ICE and sent to a foreign concentration camp without due process.
It doesn’t matter if they were citizens or even if they were criminals.
Every case is a violation of our Constitution and of Trump’s oath. #IMPEACH

Some smart person has made this point better than I will, but:
America CAN fundamentally and quickly remove harmful but ubiquitous parts of daily life (plastics, guns, social media, etc).
It’s already happened. Growing up, EVERYONE USED TO SMOKE INDOORS EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME. And then we didn’t.

legitimately i think one of the core failings of centrist pundits is that they have come to define themselves by what they are against--to chart their intellectual course by who they think is being annoying this week--instead of by recourse to genuine principle

For the entire shutdown, the NASA app’s photo of the day was Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io. Every time I swiped past it was that moon waiting for me.
The shutdown truly ended for me when I looked down to see a new photo. App is back at it.

A govt shutdown is like a strike in the sense that before you start it you MUST have a concrete idea of what your leverage is and what will cause your opponent to fold. Ironically the Dems' strongest leverage point was probably "fucked up Thanksgiving travel" and they folded just before it came.

reminder to any ambitious Dems waiting in the wings: announcing a primary challenge right now to a squishy Democrat who’s up in 2026, whether they voted tonight to shine Trump’s shoes or not, will almost instantaneously be awash in cash. fortune—and a primary challenge—favors the bold.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,
