To the extent my country is exceptional it is because we are a country of all people and none. The world made manifest. A nation of nations. A people united in truly radical ideas of freedom, equality, and justice for all. Any attempt to undo this is treason and also seeks to make us ordinary.

Rolex subreddit post:

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

On the one hand it would very fun to draft a Krakoan constitution. On the other hand I would have to get SO into X-Men.

@Marvel please let me do a Krakoa reboot. I can be trusted with real money. It will consist 90% of meetings and in universe articles like "Prime Minister Magnito leaves United Krakoa Party, founds Mutant Liberation Party, calls for impeachment of President Xavier"

Tbh Magnito & Xavier should have done a coup of the Quiet Council.

The flattening of one's enemies is bad. You should always have the complexity of thought to accept that the otherside is as human as you, even if they're evil, and appreciate that there's forms of evil.

again, the problem with rhetorical maximalism (all Republicans since Barry fucking Goldwater were Nazis) is that you end up believing it and saying absolutely unhinged shit thinking it's normal

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

Without judging people for writing erotica at a chat bot, please do not pass your sexual fantasies to Sam Altman's engineers. They will download it and laugh at you and then lose it in a massive data leak.

my grandmother was a teenager in Sydney during WW2 once, and mentioned to me once how much she liked jazz songs like "Shortening Bread." "Aren't those songs all about sex?" I asked. "Oh!" she said, "THAT's why all those sailors kept winking at me!"

If you want something positive, I'd say that the current DHS strategy of using excessive force has been extremely counterproductive. Rather than actually detaining people, they're now spending significant time and resources dealing with hostile crowds wherever they go.
