The American Nazis are deeply upset that their fascism isn't making them as popular as they thought it would and instead seems to be engendering distaste.
That can't hold - they'll either figure out how to obtain popularity through policy (not likely), get more violent and fail, or fizzle and fail.

I lost a job for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi, but this is cool.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

This will be an interesting fight. He will want to do it, very desperately, because he knows it will improve his and his party's popularity.
There will be some conservatives that won't want him to do it, because it will undermine their efforts to justify tax cuts for rich people.

Trump's promised $2,000 tariff checks would probably cost $450 billion, per a new analysis. At that price, the dividend would leave nothing for the president's promised uses of the money, like paying down debt and bailing out farmers.
Trump's $2,000 tariff checks would boost growth at a $450B cost, study says
The president says the checks are going out by mid-2026, though Congress will have to sign off first.

God fucking dammit, RIP.
RIP to the legendary @burgerbecky.bsky.social. Her accomplishments were as amazing as they were numerous, and I count myself lucky to have met her in person.
I also worked on the remaster of Killing Time, a game she was directly involved in. Hope our paths cross again Rebecca, wherever that may be.

as a white liberal with Southern roots, quite frankly, I think other white liberals from the South need to get the fuck over their oddly defensive attitude about what should be pretty blindingly obvious.
I understand why some white liberals from the Deep South want to insist that there isn't something distinct (and bad) about Southern political culture but the problem with this is that we wouldn't even have this idea of "The South" as distinct from the rest of the US if there wasn't a there there

One reason the Democrats seem symptomatically incapable of winning is because they're symptomatically incapable of reversing wage inequality and taxing/regulating billionaires to reduce their influence and control.
People want to believe that the GOP’s electoral success in red states is the result of dirty tricks and gerrymandering instead of the sincerely held beliefs of a majority of the population because a mechanical issue is easier to fix than wrestling with how to make people not believe what they do.

There are two kinds of classical concerts.
The ones the most annoying rich people normies you can imagine go to.
And the ones the weirdoes and rich old people go to.
Beethoven is usually involved in the former.

there was potentially a path for a treatlerite mostly popular regime and it was thrown directly in the dumpster by Trump's obsession with tariffs and Miller's psychotic inability to *slowly* boil the frog on immigration
I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country
but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

VERY QUICKLY BECAME A BROTHEL
TIL that a giant TERRIFYING ELEPHANT BUILDING used to dominate the Coney Island landscape in the late 1800s. It started as a hotel, very quickly became a brothel, and eventually burned down under mysterious circumstances. The dude who built it thought animal bldgs were the future of architecture.

Look, I don't care about Bond, but just have the new person do the role and at some point have the slightly evil MI6 guy look at the camera and smile and say "oh, there's ALWAYS a Bond, when one breaks we make a new one".
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
