If Trump and those close to him care about American lives, especially soldiers, yes.

Capitalism is a dynamical system like an internal combustion engine, and it only works right (insofar as it does) when it is contained and regulated vigorously. It will always baffle me that capitalist elites don’t/can’t parse this (or don’t care or wev)

Neoliberal economists: We must de-regulate the engines of economic prosperity!
Millwrights and engineers: the hell we do!

If I close my eyes all I see is the Holy light of the Stove

Cold take: Rick from Casablanca is a beautiful example of non-toxic masculinity, both in his unshowy yet inherent self-confidence, and the way he eventually gets out of his emotional turmoil over Ilsa and Does The Right Thing

If two people are standing on the moon, could one person punch the other one so hard they flew into space

That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted.
