Centrist Madness

this is a quote I think Mills would be honored to have in her obituary because it does not mean to *literally anyone else* what the author means with it

I wanted it to be worse than Armand so I could say you should watch Armand instead. But it’s exactly as good as Armand. 10/10

An outside researcher in Norway demonstrated it, on himself

See this is actually not a Nazi salute, unlike musk's, actually a good comparison

Hegseth is a Nazi tho of course

Gas prices

@beijingpalmer.bsky.social are you ready to revise your opinion on Havana syndrome

hey man absolutely hate to keep dunning you like this but did you happen to remember where you saw the unsupported claim that Platner's wife is Jewish?

Joe Biden having dementia and Havana Syndrome being mass hysteria were two plausible theories that have completely fallen apart. And might have intersected as phenomena.

The press is literal vermin

Does Japan have slutty women? I’m not even sure they have slutty men

HAAHA HE TELLS CHOTINER NO EPIC BLAOW

67 is funny now

The US hockey team met Trump and now they’re all obsessed with teenagers

I’m no master of probabilities but the chance that these allegations about Trump are true seems clearly over 10%

This was a crazy month to say you think Trump is a good person

Lots of people, one year ago, stuck their necks out to say that Donald Trump is not evil

One of two movies where Barbra Streisand eats a carrot but the only one whose title references Bugs Bunny

I don’t think you can successfully be a shitposter and a public intellectual at the same time but a lot of journalists think they should be able to be both and nobody should ever complain about it

Whatever you think about Obama, the Iran Deal was clearly a good and effective way to prevent war with Iran and you literally never hear anyone who makes being “anti-war” a big part of their personality or anyone but partisan libs say like “the Iran Deal was awesome”

Online leftism consists of one proposition: there is an in group whom discourse norms protect but do not bind, and an out group whom discourse norms bind but do not protect.

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

I do think that pissing on the subway is part of America’s rebellious spirit

There’s Ethan Hunt and then there’s Ethan Hunt’s objective and you don’t want to be in between I’ll tell you what

Gaby is an antisemitic loser, who cares.

Ethan Hunt eventually kills you. But before he does that he steals the most dangerous device in the world for you. Who could resist that siren’s call?

the entire video Lowe put out is even more ominous

(the semiotics of Restore propaganda are deeply fascinating, if not evil)

I guess my thing with the left here is that you either want to play NFL ball or you don’t. And I don’t judge anyone who does not. I hide behind a cartoon avatar and dumb jokes for a reason. But to use a non-Stancil example, the DSA can be serious or its IC can be unserious but not both.

So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025.

Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter.
