    In conclusion Americans should spend a little more time thinking about politics in the rest of the world, in the past, or literally anything to broaden their frame of reference from ignorant exceptionalism

    Oligarchs are often really good at convincing the broader public that they deserve to be in charge, that they’re more virtuous, capable, qualified, or favored by the divine; it’s all ideology, and it works great. Bloomberg!

    Throw some cash at a worthy cause or two, fund some temples and churches and festivals, and in return you get to run shit. That’s been a viable model for durable oligarchy for a long time, the United States isn’t special

    Oligarchs often do things that are in a broader public interest or for the benefit of a broader public; that was, quite literally, the basis of the social contract for urban government in the Roman world

    Not sure why this is even a discussion but by any reasonable historical or comparative standard Michael Bloomberg is literally the definition of an oligarch

    Earlier tonight, our campaign mistakenly initiated the Total Victory Protocol. We know we can do better, and look forward to bringing you a speech that more accurately reflects the results of the election. We sincerely regret this error.

    Mook says he had no involvement in the development of the disaster app. Looks like the source of the misunderstanding is this Des Moines Register story, which appears to state that he was involved in developing the app's security measures.

    A few imps pledged to Morax have fluttered over to a lesser daemon in Paimon's corner, making a push for viability. He seems torn between Morax and Warren

    In the high school gymnasium in Gumball, IA. Preliminary results are in. 63 needed to be viable: Paimon: 19 Morax: 59 Oze: 12 Volac: 67 Warren: 83 Sanders: 112 Baël: 26 Gomory: 1 (!) A Sanders-leaning district, but still shocking there's so few Baël supporters.

    During the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for Gosar: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

    *Baby Nut in 30 years* I agree, the way in which my ancestors came by their wealth is regrettable, and I'm glad society now sees how wrong we had it. But simply redistributing my wealth will not erase the sins of the past, nor will it solve the ills of the impoverished today...

    I decided that this year, every day, I would knit a row on a scarf to mark the corresponding daily temperature/weather of my town. It felt like a good way to engage with the changing climate and with the changing year. A way to notice and not look away. Here's January then.

    My mom has a chronic illness, and if it wasn't for our good health insurance, the cost of her appointments and medication would have plunged us into crippling debt--or she would be dead. What kind of society are we if you can be too poor to live?
