    No Wonder They Called Him “Lyin’ Ted”

    I get neo-fascist emails so that you don’t have to. Normally, I just delete them using my blisteringly fast keyboard skills – literally, I hardly notice that they appear and are gone, except I sometimes see a little subliminal flicker and think “I’m going to pull that out of the trash bin and have a look at it.”

    The Story Arc of a Piece of Shit

    This one shocked me. In retrospect, I realize it shouldn’t have.

    The Same Old Playbook

    Back in 2017, [I am tempted to add, “when I was still naive and optimistic”] I posted a bit about “operators” I spotted in pictures of the “rebels” in Libya.

    Guest Post: Gerrymandering

    This was sent to me in the form of am emailed extended-comment, and I thought it’d be interesting to all; the author is a longtime Commentariat(tm) member. Formatting and light touch editing are by me.

    I’m Sorry, But

    I’m not a good person. I used to wake up every morning and mutter, “I wonder if Trump died of a heart attack in the night?” as a sort of prayer.

    Notes On Hypnosis – 2: The Amazing Kreskin Speaks

    In my previous episode on hypnosis, [stderr] I began by framing my views on the topic by dividing it into two separate things, stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy. I’m going to stand by that distinction, as I think it’s useful – but I’ve got a bunch of new angles that I need to add to my notes.

    Tin Pot Tyrant

    The other night I was doing some google-whacking, looking for coverage regarding which of Trump’s advisors may have played an active role in talking him into the very bad idea that he could extend his time in office illegally.

    A Golf Cart Might Have Changed History

    Uncommon Sense: Totalitarianism

    Hanna Arendt’s The Origins of Totalitarianism has been widely quoted, lately. To say it’s interesting is an understatement, but I have long felt that she’s over-generalizing the commonalities between Stalinism and Hitlerism.

    Some Sad Serendipty

    I made a posting the other day, about Rudi Giuliani and what a racist bastard he is. [stderr]
