Before I read the fine print on this, and having just watched Brooke Rollins blather on about drones, AI, and screwworms, I was about to tag @bencollins.bsky.social about this post. Doing it anyway for kicks.

"Trump largely sabotaged those negotiations, because he was talked into believing the war would be easy and deliver a quick burst of glory." This is why we are where we are.

This has made me laugh until my eyes water several times today.

Trump started a pointless and illegal war with Iran, he lost it almost immediately, he crushed America's economy and America's partners while making Iran and our rivals much stronger. He did it for no reason he can articulate. In any decent nation, he'd be forced to resign immediately.

I wrote about something I've been thinking about for a long time. A kind of post-ironic collapse in our politics and culture where nihilism has become the lingua franca of the internet and beyond. It links Kirk, Clavicular, Epstein, memestock/coin stuff, mass shooters. I hope you'll read it.
This Is What It Looks Like When Nothing Matters
Welcome to the internet’s nihilism crisis.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”
The Epstein Files - broken down by an ex-FBI Agent. "This isn't transparency. It's a cover up." "Don't confuse access with justice"
In Barry Blitt’s latest Kvetchbook, Donald Trump continues to argue with the Danish.
Congressman Tom Suozzi was confronted. He is one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000. Hideous, grotesque, fascist-loving coward, this man has blood on his hands. We will not forgive him, and we will not forget.
@KCCI, you can call it murder because we all know that's what it was.
Trump visits Iowa trying to focus on affordability during fallout over nurse's Minneapolis shooting

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
