It *is* funny how I think about heart attacks every time it snows now.

(Also, same.)
I don’t like to brag but I, a 40 or 50 year old man, just shoveled the front and back stairs, AND a path to the mailbox, with zero heart attacks.

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Trump is doing to politics what biz schools taught future CEOs to do: break the social contract (e.g., the one btw mgmt & labor that once ensured steady jobs) & extract all the value stored inside.

This will have the same effect on politics as it did on the labor mkt: instability & immiseration.
If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

Agents like this should be identified and their name and picture posted on a searchable web site with videos and content like this linked to their names
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

not that long ago there were new videos every day of cops maiming and beating the shit out of protesters with gleeful abandon, and not only did “defund the police” get written off as extreme, joe biden got elected and proudly gave them even more money. it’ll easily happen again
there’s really no reason to think anyone who supported anything short of abolishing ice the past ten years isn’t going to go straight back to We Just Need Better Training when a dem is in office again. better to make that politically untenable before the campaigns even officially start

THEY SHOT THEM IN A FUCKING HOSPITAL FUCKING PARKING LOT
Federal agents shoot 2 people in East Portland, police confirm
In a statement, Mayor Keith Wilson called for a halt on ICE operations in Portland, asking Portlanders to show up with "calm and purpose" after the shooting.

Ah well. Can't disagree here really. Americans did vote for masked agents of the state to kill innocent people, whether they understood that at the time or not. Too bad they didn't listen to anyone who tried to explain it to them bsky.app/profile/atru...
Sen. Katie Britt: "This is what America voted for"

A fantastic way to anger your wife is to refer to this pizza as a “meat mommy.”

When Bari Weiss wrote about the national crisis of “woke private schools,” all of her sources were anonymous students, parents, and teachers who agreed with her premise—and she ran the story without getting a school on the record, for “context.”

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

there's a lot going on in this article but I think my favorite thing is watching people learn the hard way that if you threaten a reporter, the reporter is going to write about the threats — and make the story bigger www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

Trump’s foreign policy isn’t “noninterventionism,” it is a kind of neo neo conservatism devoted to imposing authoritarian ethnonationalism abroad instead of democracy (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I don’t watch films like I used to, but I never honestly enjoyed Tarantino films and his recent commentary on Paul Dano in There Will Be Blood really validates that for me. The shame of years of “cooler” elder Gen Xers sneering at me completely wiped away.

Halloween was weird this year for a lot of reasons, but by far the weirdest one was the amount of kids who seemed to be excited about Milk Duds.
