Incredibly easy to work with. I co-host “Autocratic Despair: The Podcast”. Many who matter call it “One of the top 5 or 6 podcasts that doesn’t have ads or a donation link”.
This week's "Autocratic Despair: The Podcast" has the estimable Jared Yates Sexton @jysexton.bsky.social sitting in for Dr. Craig @cajohnson-craig.bsky.social who was on assignment* this week. *Turkish Hairline Surgery 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Titletown Field end zone is being changed out to reflect the new sponsor, which I think is Emplify Health.
On Autocratic Despair: The Podcast - @cajohnson-craig.bsky.social & I decided that America has a Talarico-shaped hole that can only be filled by @jamestalarico.bsky.social ascending to the presidency in 2028 Delusional? Maybe. We see it as a forceful rejection of cynicism & you should, too.

My 8-year attempted to forge my wife’s signature to sign himself out of school earlier today. Might have pulled it off but for a critical error. See if you can spot the error.
If you’re in Green Bay on 4/20, we’re having another edition of the Autocratic Despair Dialogues. I’ve been informed my Volcano is not allowed at the library, so if you plan to be high, come having had.
My entire Fantasy Football group chat is full of dudes that both fit this description and have never seen this tweet outside of the 9 times per year I post it for no particular reason.
I've recruited a PhD on Global Fascism named @cajohnson-craig.bsky.social to do a podcast with me about Autocratic Despair. We're having fun developing it on his Patreon. Apple Podcasts feed will be up soon w/ trailers. Join the advisory committee today at www.patreon.com/FifteenMinut...

If you are in Green Bay, come on out to this month’s “Autocratic Despair Dialogues”. It’s a group discussion I moderate where we talk about how to navigate under Authoritarianism. If you aren’t, re-skeet anyway. Might be good for people to know such a thing exists & maybe create their own.
No easy task to not surrender to the cynicism & dissociate. Did you ever read this book? www.amazon.com/Rape-Mind-Ps...
Would you pass this along to your friends in Minneapolis? Better to know it & not need it than to need it & not know it.
I find posting this graphic sometimes hits people right when they need a reminder & I urge you to do the same. I’ve placed stickers of it up in my hometown & find it to be genuinely helpful in certain moments where it starts to feel a bit overwhelming.

If your takeaway from all the recent news about this person is not that you want her nowhere near your life, I don't know what to tell you. These people have a goddamn blast zone. You need to review the Survivability Onion.
This along with narrative that "those girls knew the score/ were well-compensated" is the last stop before he has to pull the "Born-Again Christian" card. I think the combination of all three will probably be needed allow MAGA Enthusiasts to stay on the train.
Wake up Bae. Megyn Kelley is soft launching injecting the word "ephebophile" into the discourse! He wasn't a kiddie diddler, see. He's just a guy who is still 16 years-old in many ways (including his sexual attraction to girls that have started recently menstruating).
If you are in Green Bay on November 17th, please join us for the holiday edition of our monthly moderated discussion group: Autocratic Despair Dialogues. We'll be talking about what's happened in the last month and how authoritarianism is going to wreck the holidays this year. Please do repost.
