If you enjoyed Trumpcast in the quaint T1 days, please join me & Cy Canterel @cybelecanterel.bsky.social for OMNISHAMBLES. Each week we untangle one shambles in the news—from the DOGE Desk Killers to the Book of Revelation. We can live through this, we just can. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

Groypers, gopniks, and the Kirk-Fuentes beef. The American right is one nutty hospital. Me @newrepublic : newrepublic.com/article/2004...

We're not just trying for harm reduction anymore. There's a future now. open.substack.com/pub/virginia...

UCLA, you're stronger than you think. You have more cards. You'll outlive this. We all will. Hold the line. The Big Ten Rises Up Against Trump newrepublic.com/article/1983... via @newrepublic.com

Sometime this will end, and Trump will be dust and ashes. The Ozymandias Effect open.substack.com/pub/virginia...

One more Ozymandias thought I stumbled onto during the podcast. The Wizard of Oz. Lots of speculation about where Baum got that name, but that it’s an Ozymandias nickname might go in the mix. “I am the great and powerful” = “Look in my works, ye mighty.” Both suit Trump.

Great to talk to @gregsargent.bsky.social about late-stage MAGA degradation and Trump as Ozymandias.

If you're looking for a new religion, may I recommend the one where the gods throw dice and gamble with our lives

With America First MTG seems to be MAGAmaxing and even MAGAmogging MAGA

Ashley St. Clair is a much more interesting ex-Trumper than Tucker : newrepublic.com/article/2099... via @newrepublic.com

Forget chess and checkers. Trump's losing at Uno while Iran's at the poker table with a royal strait flush

Does Tucker vote in Maine? He’s sounding very, very Platnerian

Who needs consumer confidence? Time for animal spirits. open.substack.com/pub/virginia...

I don’t know why it took this to make me realize it but most people look like fools in formal clothes
