I feel like no one told me and definitely no one asked my permission when "compute" became a noun. Like I'm a friend to all nerds. But this was a little out of hand. And shld have been reined in.

One reason people are suspicious of centralized federal power is because people like this think that states and localities cannot possibly find experts, and that only the central government can find and employ them. Expertise is not the sole property of federal bureaucrats.

Richard Looker@richardlooker.bsky.social

Oh man I cannot resist this one. What if it is the case that those federal bureaucrats are THE PEOPLE WITH THE EDUCATION EXPERTISE that could help promote better education outcomes? It seems to be you have written a word on two about the wisdom of listening to such people.

Pope Leo XIV’s top ally in Washington Cardinal Robert McElroy has told Catholics to convert the politicians who tolerate Trump’s war on immigrants “or replace them.” He was met with a standing ovation.

The way to look at this is George bush is trying to help Donald trump retain power on the Hill

If, as seems to be the majority view here, you dislike the prospect of a world where human journalism and analysis is displaced by AI slop, have the self-awareness not to act annoyed and offended that the human labor of writing sometimes requires compensation.

If you respond "paywall" to someone posting an article link, I'm going to block you in a heartbeat.

Speaking for myself, I find the idea that allowing Ken Paxton of all people to become a US Senator is somehow in the best interest of trans people (or immigrants or Muslims or the country as a whole) to be self-destructive and risks further alienating trans people from our allies

Okay, don’t go find and harass this guy, but: it’s kind of alarming to see this specific kind of madness spreading, about a vital race that is a coin-flip. Important to squelch this kind of thinking with extreme prejudice. Talarico must win.

I'm convinced that this is just a big a reason for the tariffs as any (misplaced) economic claims: Tariffs give Trump discretionary power, and he likes being the sort of guy who can use govt power on a whim to impress people (in this case), or in return for other favors.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump on his golf course announces he’s going to take tariffs off Irish whiskey. I guess our trade emergency is over!

Listen purity Dems. Your protest vote or non-vote won't "bring on the revolution" - it will only speed up the end of civilization. I suspect you don't care, which makes you complicit. But if you DO care, please open your eyes and let's get rid of the fascists if we even still can? Thanks, nice chat.

Deshaun Watson has completed only one pass over ten air yards in two games, btw.

Spencer German@spencito.bsky.social

Full back-and-forth with Browns QB Deshaun Watson as he was asked about getting booed in his first game back at Huntington Bank Field after he ruptured his Achilles back in 2023. "It has nothing to do about the performance. It's a little more personal than that so, that's a disrespectful thing."

Honestly - I haven’t spent too much time thinking about primary elections this year as I find all the back and forth debate/fighting usual and predictable narratives exhausting. That said - just remember kids: Vote blue no matter who. 🌊🤘🏼

If the Baltimore Orioles were to win a World Series -- a moment I've waited on for four decades now -- and showed up as a team to grip and grin with a corrupt, racist, pedophilic narcissist who debases our republic at every turn, I would never be seen at Camden Yards again. Fuck the L.A. Dodgers.

New: The U.S. federal judiciary says it is going to hike fees to download documents from its online court records system known as PACER in order to accelerate the development of a new, more secure case management and public ​access system. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

SEN. CASSIDY: “.. the worst foreign policy blunder in decades.”

Not for nothing, but I think a lot of people have wrongly settled on “Twitter became a right-wing cesspool because all the cool people left” instead of “All the cool people left because Twitter became a right-wing cesspool.”

This is not an exaggeration. Alex Jones is allegedly bankrupt but has an infinite well of dark money to pay lawyers, sell pills, and harangue judges and the parents of dead kids. This stay must be lifted so we can take over, and I hope journalists look into where he's getting and stowing his money.

Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social

This is literally establishing a second special code of law just for Alex Jones so he can do whatever he wants. What the fuck are we doing? How the fuck is this allowed?

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said. I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

darth™️@darthbluesky.bsky.social

seriously hope when dems get back in power they go after every single fuck involved with DOGE

I think it would be a good idea for D politicians to be declaring this publicly, pre-emptively. They should state it as an abstract, legal proposition: an order by the President to seize Greenland would be unlawful, here's why. Trump does not have the legal right to attack a NATO ally. Say it.

Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social

If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The only thing that can halt the ongoing MAGAfication of the judiciary is a Democratic senate win in November. If you’re not thinking about how to win in Texas, Alaska, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas, and Florida you’re asking the wrong question.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
