Matthew Yglesias & @mattyglesias
X.com
Trump's whole approach to foreign policy feels to me like a guy who read some bad leftist takes about how western prosperity is all downstream of violent imperial exploitation and decided to use that as a playbook for growth.
Incredibly funny that this is the closest Matty Yglesias will ever get to admitting he was wrong about American empire. “Looks like that leftist was right. Like a fucking IDIOT”

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote:
"The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.
And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.

Angels: fake
Dragons: Real but extinct
Leprechauns: Real but I think their powers are more limited than stories would have you believe. Critically endangered.
Chupacabra: I don't want to speak over latino voices on this one. I'm listening.
Bigfoot: fake and extinct

When they recruit Garek to do some undercover shit you know it's a good DS9. Especially if he sexually harasses Dr. Bashir along the way.

George McFly, happy as he ever gets, ready to wield the lash himself for once.
nearly all of post-WW2 american history can be explained by the split-second in Back to the Future when the bullying shifts from George McFly to Marty McFly, and George all but explodes in happiness at the idea of getting in on the torture on his own son, the new guy in town who sucks

Too bad cell phones and the period of western costume where men wore three piece suits all the time didn't line up. Imagine a specific pocket in your waistcoat for your wireless qi charger. A usb-c cord that goes from the left side, through a button hole, to the right side. Etc.
