I found a lot of truth in this NYT op-ed.

"Trump’s disinhibition spoke to and for his voters. He won because of it, not despite it. His critics have long argued that he is just conning his voters — making them feel that he’s fighting for them when he’s just in it for himself and his wealthy allies — but part of Trump’s appeal is that his supporters recognize the con, that they feel that they’re in on it."

..."The irony of one of the more common critiques of Harris — that her “word salad” moments and default platitudes in extended interviews made it hard to know what she believed — is that Trump manages to seem real even when his positions shift and his words weave. Authenticity does not require consistency or clarity when it is grounded in pitch-perfect cynicism."

"...For those who have long insisted that Trump is “not who we are,” that he does not represent American values, there are now two possibilities: Either America is not what they thought it was, or Trump is not as threatening as they think he is. I lean to the first conclusion, but I understand that, over time, the second will become easier to accept. A state of permanent emergency is not tenable; weariness and resignation eventually win out. As we live through a second Trump term, more of us will make our accommodations. We’ll call it illiberal democracy, or maybe self-care."

¿Os acordáis cuando venían unos señores de IU ES EI con su sombrero texano a decir que iban a montar Eurovegas en Aragón, Extremadura o en tantos otros sitios? Pues ahora en lugar de casinos dicen que traen Datacenters.

Technically not wrong…

This is a time to get as many people out of Gaza and the Ukraine as possible. I know there are lots of scammers out there, so if you know a legitimate charity that's really doing the work, drop it in the comments.

I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.

Voy a ir poniendo Idiocracia, y tal.

Transcribo un toot de @ayoub tras pasarlo por el traductor:
" #Israel destruyó el mercado de la época otomana hace unos días y ahora destruyó el edificio de la época otomana que alberga el municipio de Nabatiyeh, matando al alcalde y a muchos más. Han cometido la 3ª masacre en la ciudad bíblica de Qana en 3 décadas.

Ya que nuestras ruinas importan más que nuestras vidas: si amplían sus bombardeos sobre la Bekaa es casi seguro que provocarán el derrumbe de los templos de Júpiter y Baco/Dionisio, dos de los templos romanos más grandes y mejor conservados del mundo. #Líbano"

Tried to pick a shirt that captured today’s vibe

A felony can keep you from a job at McDonald’s but not the presidency? Make it make sense.

¿Cuánto tiempo va a seguir la izquierda (la de verdad, ni siquiera me refiero al PSOE) comprando el marco de subidas del PIB, crecimiento de la economía y demás indicadores del marco capitalista como medidores del bienestar y el progreso de una sociedad?

This, except they picked diarrhea

A moment like this highlights an advantage to strictly chronological feeds, where maybe I don't want to see something posted 21 hours ago right next to something posted 21 minutes ago.
