I consider myself to be a Ligma male.
American politics is having one party that's belligerent and antagonistic to an imaginary enemy, and another party that's always conciliatory and compromising with an imaginary friend.
I see the world's Bravest & Most Realistic Liberals have the same problem with 'Abolish ICE' as they did with 'defund the police'
I wonder what slogan they would be comfortable with?
'Tax Credits For ICE Operatives Who Are Assault Free In Designated Protest Zones over a 12 Month Period'?

We're so fucking done being charitable to our ideological opponents.
This crop of spineless-ass Obama wannabe Dems took the complete opposite of the right lesson from the George Floyd protests.
No one respected their performative solidarity because it was *performative*.

Do we really have to be patient and charitable to anti-vaxxers anymore?
There *is* such a thing as immoral stupidity. Severe disrespect for the knowledge and experience of other people is reactionary.
And this stupidity has a body count. Not vaccinating your kids is abusive neglect.

A hearty congrats to RFK Jr., as the U.S. is poised to lose its measles elimination status after 25 years, with the most cases since the early 1990s. #measles #RFKJr #Kennedy #disease #health www.jezebel.com/measles-unit...
Congrats to RFK Jr., As the U.S. Is Poised to Lose Its Measles Elimination Status After 25 Years
After a quarter century where measles was considered eliminated in the U.S., 2025's continuous outbreaks have us back at ground zero.

The reactionary impulse also infects American libs.
God forbid you criticize the Harris campaign for their cowardice and obstinate refusal to listen to their own voters. You have to uselessly blame the electorate.
We aren't failed by democrats, they can only be failed by the voters...🤦♂️

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency.
Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people.
Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

What a loser.
What is prosperity that despoils the land and makes it unusable, unlivable, and toxic to future generations?
Prosperity definitionally is something that gets passed down to the future, not extracted, used, and discarded.

If there’s no shale gas then there’s no shale gas, but I still think environmentalism is basically bad and politicians should focus more on material prosperity.

I'm ambivalent on the first film, but the sequel MUST be covered. Looking forward to Chainsawtober in like, March.

I kinda wish Cameron would just start cranking out low- mid budget movies.
I'd love to see him get some of that Coreman era energy back.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:
$678M raised through those spam tactics
$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.
$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)
The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

It's just... so fucking cynical.
In a sane world, political pressure that threatens such an important election would have affected policy...
But it didn't because the opposition party is more interested in donations than victory.
Natalie is mad at us for failing to be as cynical as she is.
