I have never been a poetry person but lately I've been reading a lot of love poetry, and, wow, this stuff really messes you up.

This is true and you can see it writ large in much of the DC press corps: They align with establishment power for status and safety and think it's tragically funny that anyone else would refuse to do so out of mere personal disinclination. It's a calculation. I think a lot of them grew up around authoritarian figures where aligning with power was the only way to thrive and they see the "suffering" (poverty, lack of promotions, lack of status) among those who refuse to align with power as confirmation that breaking with the status quo is personally dangerous.
What they cannot conceive of is someone who is "successful" (as defined in shallow ways) who has also broken with establishment thinking. This fries their brains entirely.
I personally think (as someone who has spent nearly my entire education and career in prestigious institutions) that the dumbest thing you can do is align with power because power is rarely legitimate and has a very dark shadow, which makes it unstable and prone to toppling, either with time or scandal. Ergo the moral disgrace of everyone who hyped the Obama and Biden Administrations (to say nothing of those who hyped Trump and Bush).

My theory is that they were both running brothels and essentially this was a fight between pimps
I think Trump also bought pageants to collude with modeling agencies in pushing young beauty queens/models to supplement their income with sex work
This is just a theory. But I think Trump met Epstein, saw that being a pimp to the rich and famous was profitable, and started his own sex work business by laundering it through pageants. And that's why he was mad that Epstein "stole" Giuffre, not as a "spa employee" but as a rival pimp stealing a sex worker.

Can someone compile a thread of every liberal now denouncing the famine with their previous tweets and statements full of bloodlust for the genocide?
I would do it but I have all the liberals and the pro-genocide people blocked
A few I've seen: Thread of tweets calling liberals out for denouncing Israel's famine in Gaza after spending months or years defending Israel, the genocide, or both

To everyone asking how all these celebs are "Benjamin Buttoning":

1. Deep plane face lifts (they pull the muscle up, instead of the skin)

2. Fat replacement with a fat matrix donated from corpses (true story)
The corpse-fat is an injectable called Renuva and it basically provides the scaffolding to hold fat under the skin for years, plumping up undereye hollows, temples, etc. That's why the celebs look younger as well as lifted.

The bigger problem is why Xtina asked for Claudia Schiffer's face instead of her own, but considering that Bella asked for Carla Bruni's face all those years ago, that doppelganger ship has sailed

Trump uses trial balloons in all his policy ideas. It's a negotiating tactic he took from the world of financial deals. If the trial balloon fails, he reverses himself. I wish more people understood this and also understood that PUSHING BACK ON ALL HIS TRIAL BALLOONS would change his policies.
He walks back his policies ALL THE TIME. Most of us who were paying attention expected him to walk back the tariffs too. I just wish people pushed back like the stock market did on immigration and the other unhinged policies he announces.
For instance: Can we start pushing back against THIS? Can we have a meltdown like the stock market did about THIS?

I think her team knows her core audience is aspirational girlbosses with no self-awareness and more ambition than ability tbh. This would have been a great idea if The Wing were still around and "ladyboss" was still a word, circa 2017. Hillary and her pantsuits etc. It was all part neoliberal movement for respectability politics for women centered around telling them that they should copy patriarchal, individualist and imperialist modes of power.

But after Covid disrupted work, this audience is gone. I mean, Girlboss in Chief Sheryl Sandberg is unemployed and embroiled in a sex scandal. The hustle is over.
It will also be interesting to see how she tries to monetize conversation, which she's really not good at. Her previous podcast series was a dud.

On her cooking show, she demonstrates herself to be abrupt and tactless. (for instance, putting numbers on the jars of preserves she sends to friends, causing them to wonder what their friendship rank is; bragging about taking her husband's made-up last name while talking to a pretty famous single unmarried mother; never asking any of the guests about themselves, as a good hostess would be required to.) Maybe try another form of media, like visuals.
Starting a podcast about corporate women's entrepreneurialism while a recession devastates women's savings and social support and an authoritarian government persecutes women for "DEI" is wildly out of touch. I don't think she has good advisers, at minimum.
