@dnsprincess almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
@MissingThePt while I will assume that this is meant as a joke, it is completely believable.

Most of us are limited to expressing our disdain for the current administration through posts and comments on social media and/or sign carrying.

Gotta love the guy who buys a full page ad in the front section of the NYT to say what needs to be said:

(I sent an email thanking him.)

@VeroniqueB99 sadly, this will not resonate with trump on any level whatsoever.
My heroes this week are the people of Vermont, who knew that J. D. Vance was coming up for skiing, and everywhere he went, he was greeted by signs like this one.
Menswear writer Derek Guy on Zelenskyy’s lack of suit in the WH: “I dislike the idea of respectability in dress…because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn’t make you respectful, intelligent, or capable.” https://bsky.app/profile/dieworkwear.bsky.social/post/3ljbptvmvvs2v

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. đź§µ

@kottke "Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable." Imagine if Zelenskyy had responded with that. I imagine that the room would have looked somewhat like the climax scene from Kingsman.

I'm heartened by seeing more people catch on to my political philosophy:

1. Don't take the black pill. People are Good, and we can fix this.
2. Don't virtue signal. Everybody is welcome in the tent.
3. The people who vote in exacerbation of the problem are confused, not evil. They are not only our allies, they are us.

All we need to do is recycle enough money throughout the economy, so that it doesn't pool at the top. Such a simple, easy fix, if we could stop bickering about other crap.

America Alone. Trump is remolding the United States in his own image — bigoted, erratic, reactionary, greedy, belligerent, vindictive, petty, friendless, authoritarian — and he won’t be content until the US is as lonely and isolated as he is. https://kottke.org/25/03/america-alone
