I feel like not nearly enough has been said about the fact that one of the guys behind Project 2025 is named Vought.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

This but for political donations

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

Axios is extremely conservative in its wrap up.

What's the best episode of television you've ever watched? Certainly not the *best* - that would be too hard to pick - but the one that yanks out my heart and twists it into a knot every rewatch. iykyk Stargate SG-1, "Heroes Parts 1 & 2"

What’s the best episode of television you’ve ever watched. Seriously - this is tv gold.

Ok that was fun back to dependence

Otis celebrated the dawn of the first/last day of the shortest workweek of the year by vomiting salmon paté on the bed, so I'm getting my steps in (laundry is two flights down).

The newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents have Donald Trump's name all over them. He had been secretly disguised as 'Doe 174.'www.businessinsider.com Former President Donald Trump may have fought to keep his name redacted in court documents before a judge ordered it unsealed.

When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.

Was hoping that the rain would be enough to result in fewer explosions outside. No such luck. But Otis is taking his first 4th here like a champ - staying close, but otherwise appearing chill.
