I guess it’s possible to enjoy the disappointment and humiliation of Trump supporters even as we plunge over the edge of the chasm.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.

Hey, guys! If you need a reason to *not* go back to Twitter, see below.
I QT’d the first post with what I think is an uncontroversial historical point. It blew up, and out of the woodwork came the neoconfederates, antisemites, white nationalists, and other racists.

Update: Kindle isn't... exactly working out because it requires ePub format, and that just ruins any magazine layouts unless we want to do strictly text-based.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

The Trump promise: a foreign policy you need a massive stroke to appreciate
Fetterman expresses support for Trump's bonkers Truth Social post and aggression toward Venezuela: "It makes it that Iran is involved on that, and Russia is involved on that, and China as well too. That's sanctioned oil right now ... it makes a lot of sense."

I never watched General Hospital (although my Mom briefly got me into All My Children), and yet I STILL knew Luke and Laura.
RIP Anthony Geary. I remember what a big deal the wedding of Luke and Laura was.

Since I'm on an Evangelion kick, let that me just say that I would (someday) like to build a model kit of every Evangelion Unit (and multiple versions of the same Unit, if (like 02), they change a lot).
But Bandai dropped the ball in '09 by not making the Provisional Unit 05.

When I decided to watch the Castle Rock Entertainment filmography back at the top of 2024 it began as an excuse revisit the films of my favorite director Rob Reiner, but it soon evolved into an exploration of how his creative fingerprints covered the company’s entire approach to filmmaking.
Over the course of the year I’ve been watching all 93 titles in the Castle Rock Entertainment filmography and sharing my thoughts on them in this thread. Follow along as I take a nostalgic trip around the lighthouse.
