Sean CastenTrump is like a kid who blows off his finger playing with fireworks. He either knew the risks going in and didn’t care, or was such a blathering idiot that the excitement of watching things go boom was as far as his brain could process. But in either case, he alone lit the fuse.
Arthur Charpentier ⏚ 🇨🇦 🇯🇵"He does not think strategically. Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places. He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions. He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/trump-iran-war-allies/686423/?gift=hVZeG3M9DnxL4CekrWGK31dWsRj9tVhI4YolO-4zzIE

Chris KluweLost a lot of respect on this one. This a great answer if you want to be a follower.
If you want to lead, then fucking lead. Take the hits, even when it sucks. Do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.
I’ll never ask anyone to do something I’m not willing to do myself.

Richard ElwesThis is great fun - a story by Colin Gorrie which starts out written in contemporary English, then in the language of 1900, then 1800, 1700, and so on. How far back can you follow it?

I love this kind of graph, we should do it for a lot of topics, to better understand media distortions (and not only in the US)
2. This is the legislative equivalent of requiring that you prove you graduated from 4th grade before you can apply to graduate school - in the sense that it doesn't solve a real problem but would hurt folks who can't access those records.
