Oh my God. Literal fascism.
The word fascism comes from the Roman fasces: a bundle of sticks tied together. One stick breaks easily. A bundle doesn’t. The idea was that individuals bind themselves to the nation and the state to become stronger together.

A tariff primer: Tariffs aren’t free money or moral posturing. They’re leverage. Other countries already tariff U.S. exports heavily. Cheap Chinese imports lowered prices at Walmart and McDonald’s, masking stagnant wages. Tariffs raise costs, but they also push back against dumping and force a choice between cheap goods and domestic jobs.

I promised my best friend and my little twin sister I’d be less bombastic this year, so here’s a mundane bliss: a frozen chicken pressure-cooked into rich broth, white rice rinsed properly and cooked in a small Toshiba fuzzy logic cooker, beans and vegetables folded in with simple spices. Deeply comforting, unfussy, and exactly right for a cold January morning.

My new theory is by being a performative leftist man it's the new equivalent of being a drummer or becoming a rockstar in order to get laid. I think most of the motivation of young men becoming leftist extremist and antifa is to be able to have access to more sex without restriction even if it means gender bending and believing that as long as you are on top you're not gay. Pitchers aren't gay it's only the catchers. I feel like people really believe this.

A ’90s liberal opposed Bush, cheered Clinton, distrusted authority, defended free speech, and believed tolerance meant letting people live differently without enforcement. In 2025, that same outlook gets flagged as reactionary. The values didn’t change. The movement did, trading pluralism for compliance.

I'm sure there's a lot of normal behavior that people find appalling and problematic even back in the time that things were being done. I mean just watch Don Draper. I mean pearls have always been built to be clutched. I mean back in his time scandalous was even a broader thing to be. I would hate to say it but Pablo Picasso is not an American and he comes from Spain right Spanish and I think that kind of much is more behavior is still pretty common in Spain.

You can’t spend years arguing that America is an irredeemable, colonial crime with no moral right to exist, then pivot at the 250th anniversary and try to out-patriot everyone. You can criticize a country, but you can’t declare it illegitimate and then suddenly claim ownership of it.

There’s a real contradiction coming into view. You can criticize America harshly, even indict its history. But you can’t spend years calling it an irredeemable, colonial project born only of slavery and genocide, then suddenly pivot at the 250th anniversary and claim you’re the true patriots. Patriotism implies continuity and care. Irredeemable things don’t get celebrated.

In the U.S., patriotism isn’t a civic philosophy. It’s pageantry. Flags, anthems, slogans, costumes. People don’t react to your beliefs so much as whether they think you’re sincere or performing. The posture matters more than the content.

When people claim “America is basically 1930s Germany” and insist their credentials prove it, the facts still don’t line up. There’s no hyperinflation, no Versailles-style punishment, no occupation, no boot on the national neck. The U.S. is the richest hegemon in history, issues the global reserve currency, maintains hundreds of overseas bases, isn’t an ethnostate, and has thriving Jews, Slavs, and countless minorities. This just isn’t that.

I mean I don't want to reduce everything to stuff that Adam and John C has said but I guess maybe the censorship was curating Twitter so that it was advertiser safe.

I’m considering shutting down my Mastodon server (abraham.su). I got serious about Mastodon back during the NoAgendaSOCIAL wave — when it felt like the cool kids had carved out their own corner of the Internet. But after the schisms, shutdowns, and blocklists, it’s mostly quiet news feeds and sporadic connections. It isn’t emotional—just practical. Before I pull the plug or keep it as a “legacy cool thing” with a Soviet TLD, I’d love honest feedback: Is it still worth keeping?

Once the internet declares its truth, every update becomes “a cover story,” “a distraction,” or “plausible deniability.” Doesn’t matter what press conferences say, who gets cuffed, or what evidence is presented — people believe what they already

I’m not taking sides, but I keep noticing a pattern. People describe Trump as threatening because he talks about a “vengeance tour,” settling scores for how he was treated in his first term and during the Biden years. Yet many of those same people say that if Democrats win again, they should respond with an even broader revenge effort in reverse—including charges like war crimes or crimes against humanity.

I realized today that the whole concept of the vampire—across centuries and even in modern stories like Talamasca—may be built on antisemitic coding: blood libel, the cursed wanderer, the secretive outsider, the one who “feeds” on the host society. I never saw it before, and it genuinely unsettles me. It’s painful to recognize how deeply this old prejudice has been woven into something we thought was just fantasy.

You could outrun the cops and simply evaporate from the record. Today it’s ticket cameras, databases, and federal enforcement supremacy.

People keep trying to compare ICE to local cops, but they’re not even in the same universe.
Police uniforms are designed for recognition and public interaction. They’re built around visibility, predictability, and at least the pretense of reassurance. They have to maintain community trust, negotiate chaos, de-escalate when possible, and keep the peace in a city where they actually live.
ICE isn’t built for any of that.

The idea of using the kettle to actually melt off cheese and stuff like that is actually inspired genius and I do it by putting the pan back on the stove with a bunch of water and then bringing it up to a boil but yours is smarter.

Actually you know I love when I watch things on TikTok where people actually cook pasta in kind of a shallow wide saute pan with just a little bit of water with the past on its side and then they drain the water after it cooks and then they introduce all of the ingredients for the sauce and the butter and all that stuff in the same pan so it ends up being a one pin solution. I've never tried it but I might. The secret is the water needs to be salty.

If you're eating pasta remember so save some pasta water to add to the sauce.

People mocking Trump’s 50-year mortgage idea act like homeowners would literally sit in the same house for half a century paying maximum interest. They ignore reality: refinancing, early payoff, selling, flipping, equity growth, and lower monthly costs that help people start. A long mortgage isn’t a trap—it’s a doorway. The criticism is either financial illiteracy or just cheap dunking on the 47th president.

No country offers “free college for everyone.” Free university is always merit-based and only for top academic performers. America is unusual: here you can pay your way into schools you’d never test into abroad. So the whole idea of universal free college rests on a false premise.

The people shouting “the billionaires are exploiting us” are often in jobs that could vanish tomorrow without society even noticing. Many live off bureaucratic churn, not creation. It’s not the miners, truckers, or nurses saying it — it’s the self-appointed moral class angry that their uselessness isn’t being subsidized anymore.

It’s easy to scapegoat “illegals,” but the truth is broader — ER overuse mostly tracks with poverty, not immigration status. In many areas it’s poor, uninsured Americans (of every race) using ERs as primary care because they have no access to doctors. Immigrants just make a convenient foil.

This is the bubblegum version of a complete cult of personality and it's going to be the most popular and successful TV series since Sex in the City. And no, Kim Kardashian cannot act. And doesn't seem to matter at all to anyone. Both Yikes! And Wee!

governments don’t declare abundance; they declare “limited supply” to justify margins. Meanwhile, beneath our feet lies an incomprehensible mass of untapped resources — a planet we’ve barely begun to explore, let alone exhaust.
Petroleum, for example, was declared “running out” half a century ago, yet every decade new reserves are “miraculously discovered.” Same with copper, lithium, and every other supposedly scarce material. It’s not scarcity — it’s orchestration. False scarcity keeps

We’re tiny, transient ants scurrying across a vast planet, yet we talk about “running out” of things as if we’ve scraped the Earth clean. The truth is, scarcity is mostly manufactured — an illusion maintained for profit. There’s no genuine shortage of oil, copper, lithium, or so-called “rare earth” elements. What exists are market manipulations: artificial throttling, strategic slowdowns, and well-crafted narratives designed to keep prices high and industries stable.
