It's weird having the world praise your bravery when you're just going to Costco
Living in Minneapolis these days means getting mythologized while just trying to live your life. That feels odd

Don’t call the assault on Venezuelan a “clusterfuck.” Actual clusterfucks are carefully planned, respectfully negotiated, events featuring multiple consenting adults following agreed-upon rules of engagement.
Seriously, I hate when people compare criminal and abusive policies to consensual sex acts

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

Miller wants power and he wants to hurt people. He's got the mentality of a serial killer, but sublimated into politics. There were plenty of guys like that running the original German Nazis.

OMFG. I heard Epstein had a first edition of “Lolita” but he got it on the recco of a Harvard literature prof who never fucking grasped the idea of an “unreliable narrator?” Moral depravity and abject stupidity are running neck in neck here

I can understand, why @bsky.app won't comment on the details of suspending the account of Sarah Kendzior. But it doesn't inspire a lot of trust in the overall decision processes, when there's basically no official information at all what caused the suspension.

Remember as well what I said about this the other day: Every time Pritzker, Newsome or whoever does this successfully, it creates an incentive to do it again. Criticism is a self-reinforcing cycle.
Please note what happened here. By challenging Trump to pause his terror raids for Halloween, Pritzker forced Kristi Noem to come out *for* continuing to traumatize kids. Polarizing these debates draws attention/forces MAGA depravity into the light.
