The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.
MAGA voted for the Book of Revelations, and we’re getting it.

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

I think this is the right take. From outside of New York, I know it seems NYC is a hotbed of democratic liberalism. But actual New York politics are almost the reverse: the New York Democratic Party leadership is united mainly by trying to keep the left from power.
Really feel like the NYC mayor’s race shows that there is no such thing as a progressive establishment, and there is, in fact, an anti-progressive establishment that runs all the way from Murdoch to Clinton
Former President Bill Clinton is endorsing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, his former HUD secretary, as the Democratic establishment tries to attempt to ensure Zohran Mamdani does not win the Democratic primary for NYC mayor. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/n...

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

This is so terrifying. I can’t even watch it. Like a horror movie
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The fundamental point is: they are coming for trans people because they are coming for queer people because they are coming for cis women because they are coming for Black people

It's also been my experience that the people most likely to be performing the "woe is us! democracy is dead and gone! we have no hope any more and there's no point even trying!" are very often the people who are least at risk.
The people who are most at risk are gearing up for a fight.

If you're feeling despair in the moment, that is pretty unsurprising.
If you're feeling despair all the time, that is awful for you and you need help, and I hope you get it.
If you're going around telling OTHER people that there's no hope and they should only feel despair, fuck off.

To me the cool thing about this image is that the sprinkling of blue stars are in the foreground, some 5 million light years away, while all those gorgeous colorful swirly galaxies are almost unimaginably more distant, out in the far depths of the cosmos. More info: www.stsci.edu/contents/med...
Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING.
I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it.

This reminds me of a movie that’s not getting discussed as much today, but that I loved. For all the talk of his dark, strange movies, “The Straight Story” is a sweet, gentle, G-rated Walt Disney Pictures release that’s somehow still unmistakably Lynchian.
keep having Lynch thoughts: he's a refutation of 1 of the most juvenile & annoying beliefs that some in artistic realms have--that in order to create unsettling, disturbing, profound or dark art, the work must be grimdark & also the person making it should be bleak &/or unkind. No! That's very silly
