It will always be crazy to me that Staten Island, which is 50% park and mostly looks like this, is denser than: Los Angeles, Phoenix, Oakland, Baltimore, Portland, Denver, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, and Minneapolis, and is ~tied with Seattle

The execution of Nidal Hassan feels like a microcosm of Trump II policies in many ways. It goes something like this: 1. Take a popular action/policy (executing a terrorist who murdered servicemen, deporting illegal immigrants). 2. Carry out the action/policy in a manner tailor-made to appeal to online MAGA anons, for whom the performative cruelty of the process is as important as the policy. 3. Manage to lose public support while implementing a very popular action/policy.
I support the execution of Nidal Hassan. Livestreaming a wheelchair bound paraplegic before a firing squad will not be the PR win some of you seem to think it will be.

Imagine showing this image to someone in 2017.
Last Thursday, we welcomed Logan and Jake Paul to the Pentagon to meet with our warriors.

“Daddy what were you doing during the singularity, what was it like?” “Well son I was mostly reading about it on my phone and talking about it in group chats, and otherwise living my life as I ordinarily would have while my friends and family and coworkers completely ignored it”

I am once again asking for the Friday before Labor Day to be an official holiday known as Capital Day so that Capital and Labor, in true liberal fashion, can work together to give everyone a four day weekend to end the summer. Happy Capital Day to all who celebrate!
