Cap’n Guyliner is Mooselini with a beard (H/T Scissorhead Skinny-D)

Cap’n Guyliner and Hillbilly Effigy JDVance literally wrote the foreword for a new book by former Trump administration staffer and Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts —who is also the architect of fascistic Project 2025. The book, Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America is a rundown of why Project 2025 is such a great thing. Says Cap’n Guyliner:
“Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism,” Vance writes, according to the book’s Amazon page. “We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”

What ideas? Like Vance, Roberts is obsessed with the idea that the left controls major American institutions — he lists Ivy League colleges, the FBI, the New York Times, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Department of Education and even the Boy Scouts of America. The book argues that “conservatives need to burn down” these institutions if “we’re to preserve the American way of life.” (Vox has requested a copy of the book, but has not yet received one at the time of this writing.)

As we all know, Our Stable Jenius, the disgraced 78-year old, 34-count convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump has tried to distance hisself from Project 2025, which was written by many of his closest allies and the nazis who are likely to staff his next administration and will administer Project 2025.

Despite Hair Füror’s denials, Trump = Project 2025. That’s the truth, and that is the message.

So back to Cap’n Guyliner, he’s in the soup. There are many articles and thought pieces up today wondering why Grandpa Sundowner chose him, and of course how long until The Apprentice is You’re Fired’ed, including former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci who wonders “how many Scaramuccis J.D. is going to last?”:
He is not doing well on the stump for Donald Trump. He’s hurting him, the memes on social media are killing him, the net negatives are terrible for the vice president. The vice president on the Trump campaign is supposed to get out of the way, and he has become an issue for Donald Trump. So he could have picked Nikki Haley, or he could have picked somebody, but Trump is such a narcissist he didn’t want anybody taking credit for his electoral success. He didn’t want somebody on CNN saying, “Yeah, he won that and Nikki Haley helped him,” so he picked J.D. Vance and now he’s got to live, at least for now, with this millstone on his neck. I mean, he may or may not make it to November 5th.

The excrescence known as Steve Schmidt is gloating for obvious reasons: someone FINALLY made a worse choice than Sarah Palin!!1!
I always knew it was theoretically possible that Sarah Palin would one day be eclipsed by a candidate more dishonest, fraudulent and weird than her. In the way I know it is possible for aliens to arrive tomorrow, I’ve always known it was possible that one day someone as equally unfit and terrifying could emerge. I just didn’t think I’d live to see it.

Yet, here we are in 2024, and the man who believes Putin is our friend and cat ladies are a threat is poised to be a heartbeat away from the presidency if Donald Trump wins.

Polymarket has a political futures contract on whether Sen. J.D. Vance will remain as Donald Trump’s running mate, if you want to get in on the action.

UPDATE 1: Not that this should be a surprise, but Kevin Roberts is part of Opus Dei.

I keep trying to tell myself to just accept the term “fediverse,” and every time I find some peace, someone pops up mocking the term again. I suspect this will continue until it’s either ubiquitous, or extinct.

The most challenging period of the summer for the energy sector is over, according to Volodymyr Kudrytskyi, head of Ukrenergo. He noted that if there are no new attacks, the situation will definitely improve in the coming weeks.

When I was younger, my parents gave my brothers and me the "be safe on internet talk" with things like:

- Never share your real name/address/etc
- Do not meet people AFK
- If youre not sure, ask
- Dont download everything
- Never give other ppl your online credentials

I really hope this is still done today but I have a feeling it's becoming less and less 😟

If you're interested in #MastodonForHarris, but aren't interested in donating to her campaign, you can always donate your time to help elect her!

Vote Forward does great work to get out the vote by hand writing letters to left leaning voters unlikely to show at the polls this election. This work is shown to meaningfully affect elections. It requires a printer, a pen, and some stamps.

I always saw that episode less as a criticism of public transportation, but instead more of a commentary on the big and complicated "futuristic" transportation projects that take focus away from more sensible methods of transportation.
In more recent times, it could be a figure like Elon Musk peddling a hyperloop project with complicated and untested technology, instead of funding a better-established high speed train technology like those already common in China and Japan.

Yesterday, I posted an image of the #LorenzAttractor showing the evolution of three trajectories (shown in red, green and blue) starting close together. Here, I've made it into a little animation to show how the paths initially stay close to each other but after about a quarter of the duration plotted, they #diverge from each other irrevocably (i.e. become uncorrelated) but remain part of the #ChaoticAttractor.
