People get so upset when they buy a new house and find out that a ghost lives in it... but did they consider the ghost's feelings? The ghost has probably lived there for 100 years. Then new people barge in, repaint the kitchen -without- asking & act shocked when it flickers the lights. Come on.

These articles always depend on a bizarre Schroedinger's Seattle: The city is falling apart due to progressive overreach but we should have re-elected the conservative non-socialist who has been in charge for the last four years.

A knock-on effect of Trump suddenly looking weak is people feel emboldened to push back against his flunkies too. Turns out the media knows exactly how to do this when they want to
KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?
HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--
KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.

we are but y’all just think that’s what feminism is and calling it a day
Larry Summers (World Bank/Clinton admin/Harvard president/Obama admin) yukking it up with Jeffrey Epstein about women being dumb and society coming down too hard on perverts makes me wonder how all women are not constantly Becoming The Joker

This is what Krampus leaves for you after he stuffs your children in a sack
"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

For those who are pro book bans but only in the sense of banning “poorly written” books, if we banned said things.. then we’d never have the Twilight movies.
And that movie series is a cultural feast for the soul.
I may not care for the books, but holy shit those movies cure all that ail me.

the astonishing thing about this wave of denialism is that we have more or less decidedly hit the point where clean energy is the *cheaper* option by some distance
I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

“you sold out”
“the rent ain’t paying itself so yeah obviously”

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Ok but billionaires “hijacking” capitalism and turning it into an oligarchy is kind of the point? The inevitable baked in conclusion?
Just because Capitalism has been hijacked by the billionaires and turned into Oligarchy doesn't mean we have to march towards Communism.
I'd rather burn Capitalism to the ground and start over again, than have Communism.
