In the video game Animal Crossing, a tribute to the classic Stonehenge segment from the movie This Is Spinal Tap, using garden gnome figurines around a half-buried model of Stonehenge.

A photo of the painting "The Railway" by Édouard Manet. It depicts a woman sitting in front of an iron fence, looking at the viewer while holding a sleeping puppy and a book on her lap. Beside her is a young girl with her back to the viewer as she holds the fence and gazes at a steam train in the background.

My Merriam-Webster word of the year for 2026, which is "golden".
What Trump and his allies are doing, after all, is not really about honoring him. These tributes are meant to carry the same message as an unrepaired hole in the wall left by a violent domestic abuser's fist. The goal is to humiliate and to intimidate anyone who didn't support him, to imply violence without leaving bruises, and to create a perpetual sense of unease, despair, and dread. To visibly erase his image and his name from American public life would not be a distraction from moving forward but rather a prerequisite for it.

(original post) 1. I keep saying this, but it's important to try to slow things down. It's something that the Democrats really don't get. You can win a war by losing every battle slowly. (re-post comment) Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity. Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

A quote from Brian Beutler's newsletter, Off-Message, titled "Trump, Tech Weirdos, And The Republican Crusade For Cultural Dominance". The relevant part of the quote reads "Social media ... was invented and popularized and refined by social misfits and weirdos — people who would never thrive on the basis of interpersonal skill — for the purposes of devaluing qualities like social capital, grace, and emotional intelligence."

That problem is as follows: Social media was never entirely utilitarian, even in its earliest forms. It was invented and popularized and refined by social misfits and weirdos—people who would never thrive on the basis of interpersonal skill—for the purposes of devaluing qualities like social capital, grace, and emotional intelligence.
