But when I fantasize at night it's Alexander's eyes.
As I romanticize what might have been,
If I hadn't sized him up so quickly.
At least my dear Eliza's his wife.
At least I keep his eyes in my life.

I think I'm always subconsciously trying to write the ideal school play. Lots of parts for everybody, great parts for women - don't forget, more girls try out than boys in the school play; everyone gets to be in the school play.

Also a whole bunch of pop culture stuff too, the main thing I remember is that Netflix scrapped an Anna Karenina adaptation because of the war.

The theory is sound: if pushed to their limit, professional cat trainers would overthrow the Russian government because they want to do cat shows that badly that they're willing to lay down their lives

I don't know another dem with a national profile who's done that bc the hyperbolic portrayals of The Day That Shook Our World is what they went with out of political expediency.

Usually when someone like Carville has a correct take like that, they tend to follow it up with some sort of much worse alternative take like "And that's why the Jan Sixers should have just been black bagged and summarily executed without any media attention."

I think he understands how absolutely lame the current messaging is & how its expiration date has passed, and bc he was a strategist back when the party was more successful at messaging it irritates & frustrates him.

I wish he'd been more specific (maybe there's a longer clip somewhere) about his perception of his own failings when he said that even he isn't able to come up with non-loser-energy messaging.

He has no core political values (he married his GOP counterpart), but that wasn't & isn't his job; like axelrod, his utility to the party & people he served was in crafting messaging that was persuasive to voters, and he can see the loser energy coming from the loser democrat party rn.

My guess is that he's old/cranky/mad that the party he helped bring back to power after 12 years of reagan & bush elder is loving up so badly that they're boosting trump's chances.

But I'll try to find a longer clip that provides more context, like why he's doing that selfie stuff while dressed like that next to ugly curtains.

a couple weeks ago he was scolding youngs to get off their motherfucking asses & vote democrat via another weirdly angled selfie.

https://twitter.com/csnetkova76/status/1786163815438303443

he also excoriates the messaging to the youngs so I think he's just mad that idiots are in charge of the democrat messaging, unlike him, the genius strategist married to another genius strategist.

(and he's correct inasmuch as the official democrat messaging about the economy is SHUT UP & EAT THE GRUEL BC IT'S ACTUALLY CAVIAR but just comes off as grumpy old has-been.)

even david axelrod thinks so.

Strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers: Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in shadowy detention center
By CNN's International Investigations and Visuals teams
13 minute read
Updated 7:52 AM EDT, Sat May 11, 2024
Sde Teiman, Israel CNN —

At a military base that now doubles as a detention center in Israel’s Negev desert, an Israeli working at the facility snapped two photographs of a scene that he says continues to haunt him.

Rows of men in gray tracksuits are seen sitting on paper-thin mattresses, ringfenced by barbed wire. All appear blindfolded, their heads hanging heavy under the glare of floodlights.

A putrid stench filled the air and the room hummed with the men’s murmurs, the Israeli who was at the facility told CNN. Forbidden from speaking to each other, the detainees mumbled to themselves.

“We were told they were not allowed to move. They should sit upright. They’re not allowed to talk. Not allowed to peek under their blindfold.”

Guards were instructed “to scream uskot” – shut up in Arabic – and told to “pick people out that were problematic and punish them,” the source added.

CNN spoke to three Israeli whistleblowers who worked at the Sde Teiman desert camp, which holds Palestinians detained during Israel’s invasion of Gaza. All spoke out at risk of legal repercussions and reprisals from groups supportive of Israel’s hardline policies in Gaza.

They paint a picture of a facility where doctors sometimes amputated prisoners’ limbs due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing; of medical procedures sometimes performed by underqualified medics earning it a reputation for being “a paradise for interns”; and where the air is filled with the smell of neglected wounds left to rot.
