Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

grave mistake reading this NYT “analysis” of Europe’s Greenland Coercion response. What in the actual hell would signs of a populace _wanting_ to be acquired by military force be?

trump has basically hit the "can only get worse if you lose a war or the economy goes into the shitter" benchmark
Pollster: 58% of Americans say Trump's second term has been a failure. A year into term number two, Trump's numbers look worse than any other president. Trump is even worse than George W. Bush after Katrina and a long period in the Iraq War. This is really, really bad.

The House already passed four constitutional amendments on Day 1:
—protect abortion rights
—repeal the same-sex marriage ban
—allow mid-decade redistricting
—greatly expand voting rights restoration.
Next: Senate.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Your daily reminder that having to do this radiates weakness, not strength. Yes, there are people who will buy this. But if they thought enough people were going to buy it, they wouldn’t have to do this.
They have to do the hard sell precisely because they know how many people aren’t buying it.

Vance: "She was trying to ram this guy with her car, he shot back, he defended himself, he's already been seriously wounded in operations before. And everybody that is repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis, you should be ashamed of yourselves"

I retreated from the world for a bit to focus on therapy against OCD
Reemerging now that I’ve made a fair amount of progress. That, and because sharing my thoughts and self online is itself a form of exposure for me
anyway, here’s a drawing I did of a cute little Roadrunner :)

as i've said in the past, the delta between a certain subset of ""liberal"" elites and the liberal base is genuinely astounding
they have no idea how angry we are

this is fundamentally about america's liberal elites not having the courage of their convictions, if they have convictions to begin with. they fetishize endless discussion and discourse and refuse to simply act.

One of the defining experiences of my life, and I think yours, is gradually witnessing the internet degrade from the most sophisticated tool for information distribution in history into a cesspit of misinformation and falsehoods.
It's a world-historical tragedy, what's happening to us.

my art instructor last week told me I’d be a great storyboarder (shocking because I thought I was deficient in all the requisite skills lol). now every online platform is pushing me ads for storyboarding courses. Coincidence????? Kinda sus???

Experienced one of those truly tragic moments where an OCD rumination turned out to be all too…. prescient
Ordered a lychee iced tea, thought “when was the last time I had lychee? Ever? What if I’m allergic?….” Pushed through the nerves, ordered it. And. Well. You’ll never guess what happened next

Underrated big shift in the influencer era in terms of who has cultural capital: away from performers, writers, artists, musicians etc and to people who are really good at running a small business and doing SEO/social media.
Pretty polar opposite political valences in those skillsets.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.
