Both Satanic Panic and QAnon are just remixes of anti-semitic blood libel. It's sort of shocking to realize how mainstream this stuff has always been in right wing Christianity, especially among evangelicals
We saw a revival of these witchcraft notions with QAnon. Kids weren’t “merely” abused or trafficked in some of that lore—they were being consumed, sacrificed, their blood transmuted into immortality elixir

I am not as astonished as I should be by how thoroughly LeBron has remained LeBron into his forties. I know he'll just retire whenever he wants to do other stuff, but it is fun to think about how long he could be an effective rotation guy. I think he could still be a solid stretch four type at 48.

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

This is the guy who said that possibility of 1.5M of schoolkids dying from COVID was appetizing.
Dr. Oz on the "super flu": "Every year there's a flu vaccine. It doesn't always work very well. That's why it's been controversial of late. But like many illnesses, the best news out there is if you can take care of yourself so that when you do end up running into the flu, you can overwhelm it."

This is the key. You can win some elections, but you can't force people to like or respect you; ironically, Trump's people want that respect from people they claim to care nothing about. They don't hate the "elites" - they envy that club, and they're mad because money and power can't buy them in.
Trumpers have a howling void of angry insecurity where a soul should be. Unchecked power tastes like ashes in their mouth because they thought when they got it everyone would be forced to like and admire them even though they’re irredeemable assholes. But people still treat them like assholes.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:
Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

There are people who still refuse to believe that Trump is a shallow mediocrity and every time they launch into some 3D chess explanation I think, how are you that naive?

“[Trump] is equal parts reckless and stupid, and it’s hard to know which is at play at any given time—if not both. When it comes to the Venezuela facility strike story, either Trump revealed a covert operation or amplified an internet lie. Regardless, we need to know which one it was.”
NEW from me — I broke down Trump's claim on local right wing radio that the US carried out a Christmas Eve land strike in Venezuela, how he doubled down Monday, the subsequent media reports with no substance, the potential role of social media rumors about an actual fire, and how we need the truth:
Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

that ny times story on mtg should be an example to journalism students of how not to do journalism. robert draper got access to greene and in exchange he pumped out an insane hagiography, a clear case of a reporter falling for his subject instead of covering her.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.
