Really glad the eye rolling about virtue signaling became so hegemonic there’s now a race afoot to signal the most vice.

Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

At a time when America is on fire and Americans have become more isolated from each other, recognizing the good of an imperfect collective action that brings people together and illustrates the potential for bigger actions is a lot better than being a stick in the mud.
If you really, really want to join the February 28 blackout I guess go ahead, because it’s basically harmless. And that’s the problem with it.
Why I’m Not Joining the Economic Blackout Day
There are a lot of effective ways to protest what's happening to the country. Boycotting everything is not one of them.

this EDM remix has been stuck in my head for the last few days, especially the line "I want to talk about it, but I'd be late for work"

something I’ve never stopped thinking about since I learned it: the proud boys do disaster relief as a recruiting tactic. they show up faster than the government and so people are like “these guys helped me when nobody else would”
Remember when Jen Psaki scoffed at the idea of the government giving people free COVID tests? That's the massive failure of the Democratic Party's mindset right there.
JUST HELP PEOPLE, YOU LOSERS. NO MATTER WHAT. AND TAKE CREDIT.

Very moving @nhpr.bsky.social interview with a Jan 6er from Keene, NH, who rejected Trump’s pardon and sounds like he has grown tremendously in 4 years. “One thing I did not believe in was change before this experience…And now I believe change is necessary for survival.” www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
Keene man arrested for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 rejects Trump’s pardon
On his first day in office this week, President Donald Trump pardoned all rioters at the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Jason Riddle served time in jail for his participation in the 2021 riot.

Seeing a lot of content about “airport rules for the next 4 years,” and I hate to throw cold water on this but if you make those 10 a.m. beers a habit, you are gonna develop a drinking problem 🫠

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

Those present at the inauguration were mostly (if not all) white, rich, and males wearing ties. Trump’s core supporters were left out in the cold.
