"NANCY" by the Gilchrists In the first row, Nancy and an Fritzi are sitting in an audience. Fritzi tells Nancy, "You're going to enjoy this rock 'n' roll show, Nancy--" Nancy looks confused and asks, "Rock 'n' roll show?? But-- Aunt Fritzi!" The next three panels show the orchestra: violinists sitting down, cello players ready to play, and a panel stating, "Pianists, a man with a clarinet-- and a flute, too-- a whole orchestra." In the second row, Nancy asks, "Is this a rock 'n' roll show or a symphony concert?" Aunt Fritzi responds, "It's the Moody Blues--" Nancy replies, "I get it-- it's both." Aunt Fritzi answers, "You bet, Nancy." The final panel shows the band performing with guitars and microphones, with a caption stating: "The sound they make together is the music to the story of our lives." Sluggo appears to be in the audience with another girl.

In this post, I explain what Islamo-leftism is. It's not a secret Muslim plot to use the left to take over. It's not warmed-over "Judeo-bolshevism", and it's not Iran 1979. In fact, it's almost the opposite.

Well, to that person I’d emphasize that 2024 wasn’t just bad for Democrats; it was bad for incumbent parties all across the globe. As data journalist John Burn-Murdoch documented in the Financial Times, every single governing party in a developed democracy that faced voters in 2024 lost vote share. The Tories were obliterated in the UK. Macron’s coalition lost its majority in France. The LDP lost its majority in Japan. And on and on. Incumbents from Portugal to South Korea either lost outright or were badly weakened. What did all these countries have in common? Not Kamala Harris’s communications strategy. Not the Democrats’ rural organizing budget. Not whether the party had gone “too far left” on social issues. They had inflation. The post-pandemic price shock hit virtually every developed economy, and voters everywhere punished whoever happened to be holding the gavel when prices went up.

Further, many developers benefit from restrictive land-use rules in the cities where they operate. The complex permitting rules in a city like San Francisco or Los Angeles penalize small builders, but reward those large firms with the experience, legal and technical resources, and political influence needed to navigate the system. In effect, these rules lock out competitors and protect regional developer cartels. Opaque permitting systems that run more on political influence than clear, objective standards also tend to be breeding grounds for corruption.

Friday’s press gaggle. Barely exaggerated: at 12:03 PM, President Trump told reporters he wanted a ceasefire with Iran. At 12:05 he declared victory. At 12:07 he announced he was sending Marines. At 12:08 he said no boots on the ground. At 12:11 he said he did not want a ceasefire. At 12:16 he declared victory again. At 12:17 he asked for a ceasefire. At 12:23 he told NATO they were cowards. At 12:29 he said Iran was begging for a ceasefire. At 12:31 he said everything was perfect. At 12:36 he said $500 oil was a good thing. At 12:37 he demanded Iran open Hormuz. At 12:39 he said Hormuz was never closed. At 12:41 he said the US was not at war with Iran. At 12:42 he declared victory in Iran. By 3:43 PM he told CBS he doesn’t want a ceasefire. By 5:13 PM - 13 minutes after futures markets closed for the weekend, in a coincidence that should be studied in every securities fraud textbook - he posted on Truth Social that the US is “getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts”.

When you hear about someone who struggles with depression and addiction and talks about it openly it’s surprising when they die young but not that surprising. When you struggle with depression and addiction you think about being dead a lot which is something I can attest to because I’m addicted to everything. Also my best friend is an addict and depressed and tells me he wants to be dead a lot and I have tried a lot of different things to get him to stop thinking that but sometimes I think I’m maybe not the best person to present the case because I tell him things like Yes, bitch, I want to be dead too but you can’t do it. You have eternity to be dead so just wait like everyone else there is no point in rushing to be dead. I’m embarrassed to be and have always been enchanted by the prematurely dead artist. I’m old enough to know that that’s bullshit. But I am nonetheless at long last a sucker for it. A real fucking mark. No one makes it out

A chart showing monthly trends in the proportion of U.S. men who agree with the statement "I often feel very lonely." The number hovers between 15-25% from 2016-July 2019, when it suddenly jumps to ~33%. The chart notes July 2019 as Epstein's arrest and September 2019 as his death. It plateaus at that level after September until 2020 when it grows during the Covid shutdowns. It slowly declines in 2021 converging to a permanently higher level slightly above 35%. This chart was entirely fabricated in excel using a random walk for the early periods, a stark jump at Epstein's death, a jump for Covid and then decline after for plausibility, and then a random walk again.
