Just found out the fish flopping on the ground near the end of the video for Faith No More's "Epic" was stolen from Bjork at a party and that is the most 90s thing I've ever heard.
I'll be fairly impressed if any of my millennial followers have any idea what I'm talking about.
Bjork later said: "I know those guys, I know they wouldn't do anything to harm him. But I know if I had gone home with MY fish, which was given to ME, none of this would have ever happened."

Respect to Pelosi. Circumstance demanded she clap, so she invented this weird walrus clap that was mocking, aggressive, and delightfully surreal all at the same time. Nobody has ever has clapped like this. He didn't know what to make of it.
And she winked at him, as if to say, "Yes this thing I'm doing is insanely confrontational and weird, and I'm enjoying it a lot."
Honestly I'm not sure either but I know I enjoyed this moment. Either I unironically enjoyed it ironically, or ironically enjoyed it unironically.

The critical marketplace of ideas is a good thing and people need to stop getting their feelings hurt when they get roughed up in it. Ideas are a tough racket. Don't like it? Try Pinterest.
A big part of Twitter seems to be based on people plucking random bad takes out of the ether and focusing group ridicule on those bad takes. On balance, I tend to believe this is a good thing.
One of the weirdest parts of our modern culture is how it convinced massive swaths of people that they should be publishing their opinions about pretty much everything to a global audience at all times. People are still getting used to the consequences of what that means.

Northam Strategy Meeting, 1:35 a.m. last night:

Ralph: I don't know if it's me, but there are definitely other pictures of me in blackface.
Tim Kaine: Like bad blackface?
Ralph: Like Michael Jackson blackface.
Tim Kaine: No problem, just say you're learned to moonwalk.
Ralph: And honestly, I only darkened my face a little bit. Not like full-on lawn jockey.
Mark Warner: Good, good, you should mention that. Also mention how you personally know how hard it is to remove shoe polish from your face.
Ralph: *taking furious notes*
None of this is a joke, by the way:

There was a throwaway sentence in a textbook I was reading: "In 1793, the French actress Olympe de Gouges was guillotined by the Jacobins, after daring to demand political rights for women as well as men." Of course I had to find out who she was, and why I'd never heard of her.
She was an abolitionist, who wanted a tax on capital, the legalisation of divorce and abolition of religious marriage (which she called 'the tomb of love and trust') in favour of a more egalitarian contract, a public health system, full equality between black and white people...
"All is in stasis while the heartless rich stash away their wealth, that vile instrument of their cupidity... can it make them happier? These inactive treasures, what good do they do anyone? They must be offered interest-free to the State in the same way they are placed in safes”

Thread: On Democrat Information Operations

1. My wife and I listened to the Dr. Fraud and Judge Kavanaugh testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee while driving through Wyoming today (off Twitter for a while except intermittently).
2. Our reaction was that Dr. Fraud provided ZERO new information, corroborating evidence, or anything that reinforced her claim that Kavanaugh assaulted her. Period. We also agreed that there were complete inconsistencies….
2A. …(remembering nonsensical details and “forgetting” the stuff that really counted!). We also felt (remember we were only listening to her audio) that her emotion was an act, as it switched on and off depending on the particular answer given.

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.

It's been a hot minute, but it's time.

I've made some room to properly get into The Reactionary Mind by Corey Robin.

#IanLivetweetsHisResearch
The first chapter begins with a T.S. Eliot quote arguing that, in the end, you can't judge a party by what it says its aims are; a party will reveal what it's trying to accomplish by its actions.

Sometimes the party itself isn't sure what it's doing.
Robin then begins with his view of history as being full of unequal power relations and the tensions that arise between them.

Man-woman, worker-employer, government-governed.
