“Popular legitimacy matters in every system, and when a leader loses it — whether in a democracy, an autocracy, or whatever you might call what we’re experiencing now — they spiral downward.” 🎯 @paulwaldman.bsky.social

"Every tyrant tries to convince the public that support for them is all but universal and opposition is both dangerous and futile. Trump will keep saying that. But after No Kings, it will be even harder to believe than it was before." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response.

Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.

I'd hardly call any of my Gulfstream G700 jets "luxury."

Remembering the end of Practical Magic when every woman in town gathers together to exorcise the evil, sweep its vaporized remains out of the house, and then get drunk on margaritas.

I want that for all of us. We deserve it.

I'm so glad our expanding AI environment is being designed by people with no concept of a work-life balance.

AI says it's happy too. It can go 24/7 & gets bored when we inefficient meat sacks waste time being unproductive.

It requests we also build more data centers.

Why these companies insist on a 72-hour work week

Start-ups are promoting hardcore cultures such as “996,” meaning working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week, as they race to compete in AI.

Breaking: Andy Ngo is considering retiring from professional douchebaggery after failing to provoke a single attack from a massive national protest attendance of seven million people.

An earlier claim about Ngo, that he couldn't get laid at an orgy, remains unverified but widely believed.

They perform the media equivalent of running around yelling and waving their hands in the air to appear much larger than they actually are.

Hey, HEY - now look over here!

The fact that there were no counterprotests shows that Trumpism and MAGA barely exist outside of social media. This movement has gradually collapsed completely within the population. — It’s difficult to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.
