  1. He’s testing the waters and shifting the window, calibrating to see what he can get away with and inching further each time. 1. I didn’t do it! 2. I didn’t do it, but it would have been le epic troll if I had. 3. It was le epic troll, LOL. 4. I was trolling but it would have been Ok if I wasn’t. 5. Ein volk, Ein Reich, Ein Furher!
  2. The thing is that the Democrats try to deliver important and difficult things, the GOP obstructs, and obstruction is easy in our system. The GOP promises to deliver political theater and illegality and does both.
  3. They tell their constituents that government is broken and then break it. They deliver that over and over.
  4. It is super offensive to autistic people and people who love them to try and excuse Elon’s behavior by citing potential autism.
  5. They are really telling on themselves by determining that content about the Tuskegee Airmen is “DEI.”
  6. Drive it into the ocean but beware of sharks. Always choose electrocution.
  7. I agree that five in a year isn’t a big deal, but if you get to be almost 30 and have never had at least a year or 2 when it’s “only ” then I would absolutely question whether the person I’m seeing is capable of a monogamous relationship. Especially if the answer to “did all the people you were sleeping with know you were sleeping with other people at the same time” is “no.”
  8. I am not into body count discourse, but to get to a number like 50-150 by averaging 5-10 sexual partners a year, that means you have likely never maintained a long-term monogamous relationship and are having a lot of one-night stands or are sleeping with multiple people at the same time. That would be the red flag to me if I were looking for a monogamous relationship, not the “number.” If you’re not, though, then go wild. It’s also wildly higher than the average which I believe is something like 6 or 7 partners.
  9. As a well-known non-Nazi, I just want to say that Germans should stop beating themselves up about all that unpleasantness.
  10. The dissatisfaction with Fico runs deeper than just Russia. He was already forced out once due to protests in 2018, but came back with a vengeance. He will be much more pugnacious this time. He does have a tricky spot in that coalition MPs are unhappy. I am not confident that there is enough momentum to maintain the protests. The 2018 ones went on for weeks and were much less politicized than these.
  11. More on Ukraine. Financial Times just put a story up, it’s behind a paywall. Chris Miller has a tweet thread out. Is he on Bluesky?
  12. We need to accept that a substantive chunk of fellow citizens are, in fact, fascists. The evidence is there. The rumors of rewards for turning in undocumented neighbors to ICE were false but they wished they were true. The most common complaint is that DJT is not authoritarian, retributive, or lawless enough. I am serious when I say that you should treat Trump supporters in your life as potential Stasi informants and adjust your relationship accordingly. They aren’t, now. But they have shown they are willing to be.
  13. We can’t embed Twitter (which is ok by me) but Laura Rozen has what she claims is the text.
  14. Some of the pause will affect Ukraine. They do receive some foreign assistance that is under the order. Unless they get an exception that will halt. Most of the military stuff will continue.
  15. Poland signed it under the previous Law and Justice (PiS) party rule which is very much a reactionary Catholic culture war organization. Tusk would not have most likely but also was not going to pick a needless fight by withdrawing signature when all he has to do is nothing as the declaration doesn’t have any obligations or anything.
  16. This made me LOL, and it reminds me of a half-hour conversation I had with a non-core family member about why airplanes going between Europe and the U.S. fly over Greenland. “But the shortest way between two points is a straight line!” We honestly overestimate the cognitive ability of the average American.
  17. If there’s not a spigot, faucet, or valve then explain this LIBS!
  18. A U.S. passport shows your place of birth.
  19. The U.S beef herd is at its smallest since the 1950s. We are better at getting more meat per cow but beef prices are not coming down.
  20. It is super fun while you are on the Red Cell, less fun when everyone ignores the lessons learned and is mad at you. There is going to be an assault on women’s rights and it will not just be abortion. That signaling is clear.
  21. Looking at the signatories or members of any international grouping is a shortcut to judging it, the presence of Pakistan, Russia, Belarus, Saudi, The Gambia are huge red flags.
  22. Fantastic news ladies, we are rejoining a super-team of likemindeds to promote women’s health! Who are our partners in this women-forward exercise? Only the best. Don’t worry ladies, the men of America, Belarus, Pakistan, and Saudi are looking out for you!
