Thinking how Stephen Bannon got fired in 2017 because Trump got mad that people were saying he's the real president. Probably wouldn't work with Miller because they only feed Trump AI slop now. They got him in the Professor X rig watching videos of himself leading troops in battle

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯
Screenshot of message from UPS:

Hi Adam,
All import fees must be paid prior to delivery.
Save time - prepay online for your FREIGHTCOM shipment. If import fees are not paid before delivery, an additional surcharge will be applied.
Total Amount Due
119.20 USD
Additional charges may have been applied based on recent tariff policy changes.
Pay Now ›

every time one of those "look how evil ages you" posts goes viral you get a reminder that much of us have heuristics for navigating the world that aren't much different from that of a middle ages peasant

I’m 53. Kaleb Horton was 35. I realize now that he’s gone that I was counting on him to both outlive me and save our culture from the abyss. Fuck.

"Christianity has morphed into an identity group, untethered from much Christian teaching. It has become another tribal association jockeying for power and pursuing grievances.

The problem is when religions devolve into identitarian movements, bad things happen."

My guess is Trump's understanding of the chronology is so poor that he doesn't realize the 22nd Amendment was a *response* to FDR's 4 terms in office & he thinks it's something FDR somehow "got away with." And if there's anything that tempts him it's to get away with whatever someone else famous has

If someone is trying to do work in good faith, we should stand them up. The people doing work in bad faith not only have all the mutual support in the world, they also have all of the funding. If we can't even get each other's backs, no one's gonna make it.

You may have heard my arguments against the Electoral College before. Here’s a new one the Founders never anticipated:

If the President is elected by popular vote, he probably wouldn’t selectively punish entire states for voting against him.
