βMAGAβs fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other peopleβ is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision theyβve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.
The original story, which the NYT had the good grace to link to, is so much worse than the Times makes it sound:
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Letβs talk about Graham Platnerβs Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
Nashville reporter's detention by federal immigration officials poses grave threat to press freedom and the publicβs right to know. A thread on Estefany Rodriguez: www.freepress.net/news/free-pr...
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheβs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyβve already sent her to Louisiana.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the βMiddle East."

If human rights are limited to certain groups, they are not really human rights, are they?
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, βI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.β My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
Three or four of these despicable group chats have become public, but here's the thing: It's absolutely certain that there are HUNDREDS of group chats just like them that we'll never learn about. There's an entire generation of groyper Republicans, and in a few years they'll be running the party.
He literally sounds like Cobra Commander.
Amazing how all the current GOP group chats inevitably devolve into the worst Nazi aspects of 8chan, surely this isnβt a sign of what the party has morphed into
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
MAGA Unreality vs the World
The U.S. government is in the hands of people who are fully detached from reality. That is a major weakness for the regime β but also a source of further radicalization.

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, itβs not a publishing problem, itβs a men problem.
As someone who uses AP articles to fill space in my newspapers, let me just say, fuck all of this.
Of course, Anamanaguchi sound great!
Maybe it's not Board of Peace, but Bored of Peace?
Pre-orders are now up for the collected omnibus edition of The End Times, the post-apocalyptic newspaper novel.
30 years ago Chuck Palahniukβs Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as βthe middle children of historyβ with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

(2/2) I've never painted such large areas before! 60 x 42 cmts and full of diminutive details. Watercolor makes it tricky and methodical.

Because she was working with a federal task force, she was considered a federal officer, and thus protected by SCOTUS rulings making it all but impossible to sue federal cops, even for egregious abuse.
Now consider what this means for Trump's immigration thugs.
Democrats had two years to fix this.
Don't all the Jews have to return to Israel first? Like, I don't have that kind of money and I doubt I can get that much time off of work, so... π€·
The unspoken third phrase in "Bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus ..." is "...and all the Jews die" but they skirt over that bit of the mythology.
