New video from @anderspuck about how Rubio's recent comments on NATO in Europe are remarkably similar to how people around Putin try to communicate ideas to him without contradicting, criticising, or even appearing to provide new information to him.

It's the second half of the video - the first half is what was being said and how Europe is likely to take it:

I've got to figure out why blog posts are only picking up one tag. Anyway, wrote this about the fash and their use of so-called "biological reality."

I'm not seeing anything explosive in the Strait for Hormuz so I guess traders were just wanting more out of the Shitstain Summit?

Oof. Team? Brace for impact.

Wholesale inflation jumped to 6%, and unlike last time Trump's policies led to this, there's no strong economy and no plague to blame it on. It's not just oil.

You've got _maybe_ a couple of weeks before you see this hit retail. If there's something you need and you can order it early, doing it _now_ is... not a bad idea.

It's not always that simple, but this time it might be.

"The MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy."

Tennessee Republicans are just leading the way. They'll do this everywhere they can:

Republicans in Tennessee just removed almost every Democrat (including every Black person) from every legislative committee and subcommittee. It's whites-only in the Tennessee legislature now, and almost entirely Republicans only - the only exceptions are a few which are legally required... for the moment.

GamersNexus on the Shitstain administration's router ban and the new graft machine; they think one of the endgames (eta: in addition to the obvious ones) is to make end users permanently have to rent routers from ISPs:

This article's interesting, particularly in the inability of either side to be flexible. It's a recipe for this dragging on for months.
