No, I don't really have much resemblance to my avatar but... without anonymity I would likely be tracked down by my Cluster B personality disordered sibling so.... here we are.
It seems like our foreign policy viz the Middle East is being conducted by people who fundamentally don't understand the region, its history, its people, any of the languages, or really anything at all.
Sniffle. …. Lo. gic. Wait……… Logic……..LOGIC. Mindless gaze. So…. foreign. Can we put a tariff on it?

Great visual. Terrible that I worry someone might see it and think an enormous, empty, pollution free Greenland is there for the taking. It is not any of that.
Santiago Gassó@sangasso.bsky.social · 3w ago🧪🛰️ Now continental #smoke and #dust clouds over the western northern hemisphere. There are major impacts in both Europe and N. America: #AirQuality and #PublichHealth Because they block and absorb sunlight so much, it does impact clouds by changing energy distributivo in the atmosphere.
Ahead of its 250th birthday, I make the case that the greatest work of American art ever produced is made of garbage and was assembled at the behest of God by a Black man working the night shift as a janitor in DC johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/americas-g...

LOL - these are roughly the terms that would apply if the IRGC had taken NY and DC and the Iranian navy had imposed a blockade along the east coast. Absolute fucking embarrassment.

And there is nothing more embarrassing and pathetic than an 80 year old throwing himself a “big strong man birthday party” when he’s spent his life befouled with garish comfort and spending his free time bragging about musical tickets and commenting on tabloid celebrity garbage.

There’s a lot of body horror in my work, and that’s because… there’s a lot of body horror in my life. Messy bodies, broken bodies, gooey bodies, malfunctioning bodies, crazy bodies. I’m fascinated at ...

There are so many good things @hankgreen.bsky.social has done, but I don’t think any of them have moved me more than this one. It’s just such a beautiful, clear explanation, all the more touching for its simplicity. Please do set aside some time to watch it. youtu.be/oaXRREHVkHo

We see this similar garbage logic in Canada. There are people defending timid-ass statements from our leaders because speaking out to defend democratic and law-based norms won't move Trump or might antagonize him. As if Trump is the only audience. The public reinforcing of norms is its own good.
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 7mo agoUnreal how many Democrats—politicians, pundits, posters, etc—advocate complacency on the grounds that they won't get Republicans to remove Trump. Yes, you draw public attention to Trump malfeasance, make Republicans publicly defend it, and distract the regime, but don't get Trump out of office. OK.

His demeanor when he says this. So many women (and not a few men) recognize this stance, this aggression. It stops me cold.
Shannon (she/her)@ravenlenore.bsky.social · 9mo agoHe seriously said “quiet, quiet” to a female reporter. This fills my blood with fire.
The Trump administration is a fascist administration, but the United States is not yet a fascist state. Total state capture takes time. Every obstacle we can present as individuals, groups, communities, and institutions helps slow that process. Everything we do to resist matters. It ALL matters.
That's the question of our times. How low can he take you? How degraded are you willing to be to gain the dubious benefits of Trumpism? How much do you want to be able to indulge your cruellest, crassest whims? Because that's what he offers: total moral abdication. But you have to go first.
