"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Hi ALX: This is a long shot, but does anyone happen to live near Landover St. or Manning St., and has a metal shovel that I could borrow this afternoon (like pictured)? Unfortunately, since the person I'm helping for Snow Buddies has a very large property I still have a lot of ice to clear. Thanks!

Looking at how much better other “millennial” franchises are holding up than HP (Marvel, Star Wars, not to mention Pokémon is even bigger than it used to be), this is first and foremost just a Franchise Skill Issue

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

ALX Skeets: Has anyone been outside yet? What are the conditions like vis-a-vis ice and walking on the sidewalks? ❄️ Just thinking about safety and going out to help my snow buddy again....

Every single one of them is risking their lives against death squads to prove that the fascist vision of America, a country where we hate everyone different than ourselves, is a fucking lie
I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Trump and the GOP are behaving the way they do because they lack impulse control, not because there is a long-term plan to undermine democracy. They’re historically unpopular and haven’t done anything to consolidate the regime, this is stinkin’ thinkin’.

Ah, the old trap: If gay people point out that equating oral sex with degradation is homophobic, we're scolds and language police, and that distracts from the real issue, which is that Newsom lacks any internal compass and says whatever he thinks will win him applause or agreement in the moment. >
Newsom: "He's an invasive species, Donald Trump. He took over the Republican Party. Lindsey Graham -- I mean, speaking of the kneepads. I'm sorry. This is tough stuff. I don't recognize these people any longer. You think what I'm saying about Trump is tough? How about what Graham said about Trump."

The Vibes are so bad, at the work all-staff meeting the icebreaker question was: “How do you keep your head above water in times of great stress?”

Am…am I a senator?
senators basically live in a hell that is totally of their own creation but are steadfastly unwilling to do anything to change it
