"Marjorie Taylor Greene isn't particularly ideological, just vicious & hateful" not a surprising development by any means

Like, what's my authentic nationality? 500 years ago we Harrisons were English. 1000 years ago we were Englisc. 1500 years ago we were ᛏᛅᚾᛁᚱ. Am I supposed to be proud of the dʰonh₂-i-s with their cattle herds & young warrior bands?

Like, ok, let's grant Israeli culture is synthetic. Find me a nonsynthetic culture! Find me a culture uninvented by people! Are we going to condemn Thai cuisine? Bahasa Indonesia?

Trump dying is the saddest thing Trump can think of. Heaven isn't very compatible with that sentiment.

Seeing as I have put clams & butter (for roux) in my gumbo I think you'd need to actually cook a kid in its mother's milk to get there

Caitlin Flanagan can't help but tell the truth sometimes

Tom Scocca @tomscocca.bsky.social · 9h

Please nobody tell professional writer praising professional journalists Caitlin Flanagan what "out of whole cloth" means

Screenshot of text:

Not now but soon enough, there will be major stories about The Free Press being the creation of three female founders who constructed a hugely successful digital business out of whole cloth.

The more you dig into it, the more you do the meme's work for it. You don't want to correct it, you want to not think about it at all

Yeah, the Panthers won, which is always nice, but more importantly, today the Cowboys lost

"I can handle anything now!" (has no offroading or outdoor skills)

The key is to give yourself realistic gear challenges, like "how big a socket set can I fit in the under-seat storage with the first aid kit & camping gear without my wife noticing"

Like, I'm pretty gear-minded. I love little pocket clips & snaps & tabs & secret zip compartments. But all I see here is a guy who will get hot & tired real quick

I liked playing with GI Joe as a kid as much as the next guy. I also have a surplus British bag in my truck. I think it once carried a gas mask? Now it carries disposable gloves, baby wipes, & my daughter's "booboo box". What I like about it is that it was five bucks

if you watch these shorts you can see that tactical clothing and gear is essentially a guilty pleasure for men to have the same level of accessories as women

This has always been the most important implication of the old Frank Wilhoit quote: what matters is not that there are in-groups & out-groups, but that the in-group has full discretion over who's in & who's out. No rights, no liberties, only privilege, discipline, & punishment

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 14h

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

Yeah if you view Thiel as a guy who reads Hegel badly, & reads old sci-fi even more badly, he's perfectly comprehensible

My wife questions the wisdom of introducing a two year old to Spinoza, but how else is she to master Hegel? Kindergarten is only a few years away

Oh, whatever can be funded, by all means. Weekly baseball games. "Town halls" where local retirees or elementary schoolers are trucked in to ask inane questions so that our honored elders may share their deep wisdom.

I am 56 miles from the nearest passenger train service

I propose a Congressional pensioners' hospital at, like, L'Enfant Plaza. Troop them up & down the Mall daily. Give them special uniforms, hats & sashes. Any member over 62 with at least 30 years of service, or 72 with at least 20, or 82 with at least 10 years of service is eligible for a spot.

We need a Senator Emeritus role where they still get to go to events and feel important but that gives them a graceful retirement route
