Plato argued in the Republic that the 'tyrant,' or someone with unlimited wealth and power, would live the worst possible life because his soul would be devoured by lawless, unlimited desires that could never be sated. I think we've gotten confirmation of this from more cases than Trump lately
I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.
President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.

A good sign that Trump is innocent is the White House posting social media messages AS the DoJ.
That’s an extremely innocent thing that innocent people would do.

This is pretext. Trump’s been obsessed w/wind turbines for decades, which began after Scotland put some in near his golf course. He sued the govt & lost, which is why he claims they cause cancer, mental illness in whales, bird extinctions, etc. Welcome to the 19th century. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power

This is why all these discussions are just eugenics wrapped up in process and anecdote. You can’t explain the outcomes without acknowledging privilege UNLESS you think white men are genetically superior. They all disgracefully think that but most are too chickenshit to say it.

I know that I don't have to point out that the oil, the land all of it belongs to the Venezuela people.
But I guess that doesn't matter anymore. Trump is now officially using the Vladimir Putin playbook.

Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

The power combo for every right-wing populist party is “we’ll kick out the immigrants, and spend the money we save on YOU.”
Republicans are too anti-welfare state to go there. So their version is “your house will be cheaper when the migrants are gone, also here’s a massive healthcare bill.”

I will never understand how so many people argue “the government can’t effectively provide healthcare” when it’s one of the few things we know, for a fact, it can do, because it already does this. It’s like claiming the government can’t deliver mail. Buddy sit down you’re not gonna believe this

There is possibly no clearer evidence of how American society has been bent to conservatives' whims than regarding gun violence. Our country's gun laws are flatly insane, and there has been no meaningful momentum for serious reform in years.
Each semester I go in my classroom and I try to figure out what we would use to block the doors, if it would be safe to crawl out the windows, where we could hide if there was a mass shooter in campus. It’s such an indictment of this country how we have normalized these preventable tragedies.
