One of the most successful deceptions of our time was getting many Christians to fear diversity more than racism, equality more than misogyny, democracy more than fascism, immigrants more than authoritarians, the poor more than corrupt billionaires and empathy more than cruelty.

If you think liberals steal elections and control the weather but also let Republicans control all three branches of government you may be fucking stupid beyond repair.

It’s hard to describe the amount of joy that Nikola Jokić brings to me and the Denver Nuggets fanbase. I don’t understand how he happened or if we deserve him. It’s like winning the lottery. So stupid and awesome.

Nikola Jokić is averaging 27.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 10.8 assists and 1.4 steals in 34.8 minutes.

He's the first player in NBA history to lead the league in rebounds per game and assists per game in the same season.

He's on pace to set the all-time record for single-season box plus/minus.

Jokić trails only Victor Wembanyama among MVP candidates in net rating swing, but he has played 327 more minutes than Wemby.

Jokić leads the NBA in "points plus points generated by assists" per game at 53.4. Luka Dončić (52.9) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (48.2) are second and third, while Wembanyama (31.5) is 38th.

With the exception of Spencer Jones, every Nugget with 100+ minutes alongside Jokić has a higher eFG% with Jokić than he has without him. Cameron Johnson (+12.9), Christian Braun (+24.0), Bruce Brown (+11.3), Aaron Gordon (+10.5) and Julian Strawther (+12.0) all have their eFG%s jump by at least 10 points when they play with Jokić.

Jokić trails only Jalen Duren (64.3% of Duren's field goals are assisted) and Deandre Ayton (80.2% of Ayton's field goals are assisted) in true shooting percentage. 60.8% of Jokić's field goals are assisted, and the average distance from the hoop for his made field goals is 11.7 feet. The average distances for Duren's and Ayton's made field goals are 3.7 and 5.1 feet, respectively.

Jokić leads the NBA in "actual" offensive estimated plus-minus.

He leads the Huge Nerd Index.

Jokić also leads the league in PER (player efficiency rating), in Opta Analyst's DRIP (daily-updated rating of individual performance, in DARKO DPM (daily adjusted and regressed Kalman optimized daily plus-minus) and in NBA dot com's PIE (player impact estimate).

Jokić leads the league with 30 triple-doubles, while Jalen Johnson and Josh Giddey, who are second and third on that leaderboard, have combined for 25.

We’re living in the dumbest fucking timeline, voted for by the dumbest fucking people, for the absolute dumbest fucking reasons.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is.
I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.
If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.
If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.
If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.
It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume.
Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.”
And that’s the part that should chill us.
Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform?
Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress.
Now the mask is off. Now we know.
And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand.

Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath but never a source of God's charity, mercy, or compassion.

The year is 2001, you are a American citizen and cannot believe the dumbest man in the world is taking you to war in the Middle East.

The year is 2026, you are a US citizen and cannot believe you were wrong; there is in fact a dumber man.

[Captain Janks @captainjanks]

I need to make this VERY clear. This hatred for Donald Trump was never about Republican vs Democrat. Donald Trump is a horrible human. Horrible humans should not be put in charge of hundreds of millions of good humans.

It's not complicated.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

There’s only one thing I like about Donald Trump: His routine ability to make absolute fools out of his supporters by suddenly forcing them to defend something they’ve spent years loudly being against.

A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn’t have a budget issue—it has a values issue.

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.
