welcome to Can He Douthat Wednesdays With Ross Douthat, where ross drinks 30 ounces of communion wine on tv and starts talking about the aborted babies that visit him in his dreams. "the zygotes told me they don't want to go to purgatory" he sobs as the camera zooms in uncomfortably close

Scoop: I’m told that Ross Douthat is exiting The NYT and is expected to take a role at “60 Minutes.” News expected to be announced soon.

honestly, just invade iran already- bring on the full catastrophe which will end american hegemony once and for all - and then maybe we can rebuild a democratic consensus among freedom and dignity loving peoples.

Imagine if Democrats weaponized individual examples of criminal police behaviour (like the pedophile ring in SC) in the same way Republicans weaponized individual examples of criminal immigrant behaviour.

We will never be friends again America, as simple as that. We might be on friendly terms again one day, but not as friends.

⚡️Trump threatened Europe over Strait of Hormuz, with weapons for Ukraine as bargaining chip, FT reports. Outraged at European countries' refusal to help reopen the Strait, Trump threatened to halt the PURL program selling U.S. weapons to NATO for use in Ukraine, officials said.

hmm, multicultural respect, democracy, taxes on the rich, limits on corporate money in elections, gender equality, and trans rights for everyone might result in fewer wars and more happiness for everyone! we should try it!

Of course Trump and Netanyahu’s first attack of the war is on Muslim schoolgirls. They are over and over again telling us who they are. At some point we need to listen and actually do something.

One thing that has perplexed me during trump 2 - why aren't more of the liberal white American middle class protesting? Are they not seeing the ICE atrocities? Do they agree with what ICE is doing? Or are they just scared?

Thinking about this quote a lot lately: "Power demands sad bodies. Power needs sadness because it can dominate it. Joy, in consequence, is resistance, because joy doesn't give up. Joy as a life force leads us in places where sadness never can." - Gilles Deleuze

American commentators on why the tariffs are a bad idea usually just default to inflation - what about the fact that your country, for no good reason at all, is declaring economic (for now) war on close allies - attacking the sovereignty of democratic nations? maybe also bad?

the reason why they are upset about bluesky is that your attention is just more valuable. the right has no creativity, no spark of wit, no intelligence, it’s just all bland darkness. they so desperately want what you have. don’t give it to them.

Saw Adrianne Lenker in Toronto last night - wonderful show, one of the best songwriters writing today. The crowd mostly much younger, and such a sad, strong yearning among them. Beautiful, but I left feeling we have failed this generation in some fundamental ways. They deserve so much more.

The reality is, the three major superpowers of the world are now all fascist authoritarian states with unstoppable military power at their disposal. The rule of law does not exist in these regimes, and countries where it does exist are now virtually unprotected.
