I really don't know clouds at all.

As seen in (a very brief quote in) The New Yorker.

"I don't handle rejection well" is a statement that may be true about me but it overlooks the laundry list of other things I don't handle well.
You are allowed to say that the GOP's self-stated belief in the sanctity of the 1950s and an Americana consisting of a white suburban family making apple pie while watching football was always a lie, but it is still a belief. It is a statement of values. And that's gone now.

Saying that this is who they always were is true insofar as, say, Charlie Sheen was always dealing with drug problems throughout his career. But that didn't stop him from showing up and doing his job until the day that it completely torpedoed his career and public image beyond repair forever.

And you can say that this was something that was always true to some extent, a fact that I would broadly agree with. You can lay the original sin at the feet of Reagan. But the thing about losing your damn mind is that it's slow until it is very, VERY fast.

Like, you could argue convincingly that Homeland Security was created to function fundamentally as Bush's Police Force, but the thing is that it was supposed to present as Not That.

The modern GOP sees no value in pretending it's Not That. It just says "yep, these are our jackbooted thugs!" No lie.

In order, the thing is that up until 10 years ago, the GOP generally agreed on points like "you can't just say blatantly racist shit" and "you aren't supposed to emulate the Nazis." You can argue that this was the ideological end point, sure, but there was still a material difference between them.

I see people responding to this with "well, actually, it stretches further back than that" and there are two things to consider:

1) no, it really doesn't, disagreeing with the GOP agenda (which I do) doesn't mean that there is no material difference between now and then
2) going insane is a process
The problem here is: the GOP has gone completely fucking insane in the last 10 years

And well, this may have been obvious to Dems and/or anybody actually paying attention, most people genuinely did not believe that the Republicans want to do the things they’re currently doing until, uh, they did it

Progesterone for a rack that could kill,

Something that came up when talking with @cobaltlily.bsky.social - we joke about the Revolution being leftist secular Rapture, but memestocks/crypto fantasies are functionally right-wing secular Rapture just as surely. "You don't need to do anything, just arrive at the right moment."

No, what I am feeling about the bitcoin crash is not schadenfreude.

"Schadenfreude" means "shameful joy" and I do not feel one whit of shame.

It turns out that if your primary goal is "burn down the system" you have to do some backflips to pretend you have a coherent political philosophy.

"Oh, she's not single! Okay, so we're not going to hook up, a thing that hadn't even come up so far in this conversation and probably wouldn't have under any circumstances. Useful data point if I ask for her to hang out later, I guess."

As a queer woman, I have had lots of talks with women whom I found attractive and found out mid-conversation they had a partner.

Do you know what this did to the conversation?

The answer is "fucking nothing" because I wasn't at a dating event and we weren't talking about that!
