President Trump told CBS News later in the day the war “is very complete, pretty much.” I wish ChatGPT would let me remake the GWB "mission completed" image with Trump and "very much complete, pretty much" on the banner behind him.
Way to eye, Dems!
@danpfeiffer.bsky.social Msg box reader w/ q for you: do you agree w N Silver that dem primary voters can basically be organized as resistance libs (Newsom, Harris voters), abundance pilled (Pete voters) or progressive libs (AOC, Bernie voters)? Is this a useful frame for 28?

Wow.
But how would Henry know Whitby’s Terroir theory? Necromantic doubling??
@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social I read and re-read to answer these questions…
I don’t think this image is actually of Providence is it?
What an unbelievably uninspiring and discouraging response. The only word I can think of to describe Dems response to the moment is “irrelevant.”
I can help find a few places!
I know the oil companies are evil, and/but isn’t it insane to think these huge, risk averse corporations going to go invest billions of dollars in long term projects when no one knows whose in charge, whether or not chaos is around the corner and Trump is out in a few years…?
Who knows if he’ll be successful governing crazy New York. I surely hope so of course. But simply on his campaign and his incredible communication skills I think he’s already a generational talent. Hope he plays a big role in American politics for a long time to come.
@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social hope I’m not too late for the coffee book, humbly submitting this sixth order Fresnel lens with fixed white light from 1870 pomhamrockslighthouse.org (alas I should have gotten the authorized personnel sign on the chain link fence in the foreground for maximum SR vibes)
Most Americans don’t know who Trump is nevermind what the Kennedy Center Honors are
Or is it?
The President has said that all we can do is pray but this is not true. We can also think! Thoughts AND prayers is all we can do
America first: $20 billion for the weirdo who runs Argentina, prayers for the victims of mass shooters in Providence, RI.
Another mass shooting, this time at Brown. 2 dead, 8 injured. MAGA & Corporate media waiting to ID the shooter but we know the drill
•Immigrant—> Expand ICE
•Muslim—> Expand Muslim ban
•Black—> Expand prisons & police
•White—> Troubled lone wolf with rough childhood
And still 0 action on gun safety
My 15 year old son and I went on a long run and passed by this Brown building maybe 10 minutes before the shooting happened. Now we’re inside listening to helicopters overhead. I’m texting families in my school to avoid the area. Shame on our ‘leaders’ who fail to stand against gun violence.
First time in Paris many years ago, emerged from the train and immediately found a half eaten baguette on this utility box. Also took a bite and felt superior.
“…the decisions he has made…”
Disgraceful

More likely Brad phoning it in during community service or Gloria’s father (explains why mom left)
Which Southern Reach bureaucrat would be most likely to enrage @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social by using generative AI to turn in their status report? Cheney seems likely, Control too cautious, Whitby would be offended. Old Jim though, at his lowest? Lowry, no freakin’ question.
BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral race, NBC News projects. nbcnews.to/4nIzNUC
This resonates
Watching the NYC mayoral debate and it's amazing how Mamdani is dominating Cuomo. It's hard to know if Mamdani is a legit generational talent (I think maybe could be?) or if this is just what it looks like to run smart young charismatic candidates against gerontocracy @jonlovett.bsky.social?
What an amazing only in New York City story www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/s...
First draft of my new novella The International Juggling Coaches Association Hall of Fame is done. If anyone on the internet wants to read and offer feedback, I'd be grateful. It's wildly overly ambitious, memorable and super weird. #weirdfiction
