If you're wondering where the fuck they get these weirdos, "Amanda holds a B.A. in history from Yale and an M.Phil. in international relations from the University of Cambridge." This is the chattering class. This is the ruling elite. This is how their rotted brains work.

And if an issue appears to be dominating politics out of nowhere despite not affecting the overwhelming majority of society, perhaps you should think about who decided to make this an issue, at whose expense, & why do they want you distracted by this?

Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 2d agoIf you're a cis person insisting that the prospect of trans children playing youth sports is not only "a problem" but in fact one of the biggest problems we currently face as a nation, I'd be happy to introduce you to literally a million other things that should be worrying you more.

This is what a decade of Trumpism has encouraged -- a GOP gubernatorial candidate in Colorado who's unsure of how many people he's killed but positive that his Jewish opponent is a tool of Satan. These people were in the tent before, but the rest of the party seemed embarrassed about them. No more!

Some European Union officials are describing the situation that occurred in Ceuta as a “hybrid attack on on the sovereignty of an EU member state” and a “a destabilization operation.” Here are a couple of such statements from members of the European Parliament:
I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean. But Trump refused repeatedly, and sued when his return was leaked, and now ... this

I commented on this in regards to video games, but everything (vaguely pop culture) gets worse when we optimize it. Games are more fun when the meta is unknown and people just do whatever. Sports are more fun before we all know exactly what stat to optimize for. TV is more fun when it's gambling.

Moroccan police were directing people *towards* Ceuta. The US Congress debated Ceuta a few weeks back, as per Thomas Massie. Thing is, if it is a covert action you’re not going to get any evidence. That’s why it’s covert. All you’ve got is piecing together peripherals.
