I’m reading FIRE AND FURY right now and I think there should be a book club that’s like “here is the best book about each individual lyric in ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’”

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”

in my lifetime, U.S. foreign policy has been maximally immoral and incompetent and yet the way this administration has found new and shittier depths to sink to compared to all the cretins who came before is honestly their most impressive achievement

this latter problem is also leading to a fatal mismapping of the "working class," which these days is more "black/latina home health care worker" as opposed to "hardhat guy from central casting"—it's a particularly pronounced problem in GP's campaign

I've been joking that "Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas" may be the US version of the Crown Steward and Bailiff of the Chiltern Hundreds and based on reactions my takeaway is that I may have learned too any British things

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

Jan 6ers doing what they do best (getting arrested/sentenced for sex crimes)
