Tired: Build an actual offense Wired: Add more random bullshit that emphasizes the things that don’t work, but more

I wonder what it would be like to write the same column, over and over again, endlessly. Seems like it’d be boring. But maybe it brings one comfort, like having your parents read you the same story every night before you go to bed.

This sort of scenario more than Skynet fantasies is the sort of thing that keeps me up late. The prospects for human freedom look a lot less good when you no longer need a lot of humans to forcibly quell broad civilian resistance.

I have one request for everyone outside the United States. Stop being polite to us Americans. Tell us what you really think.

"The most corrupt president The United States have ever seen." UK Member of Parliament Ed Davey does not mince words when characterizing Trump after his move to take Greenland.

Starting a new religion that says reading SCOTUS opinions by Alito or Thomas is a sin and my kids should be able to opt out, for their own protection and religious freedom.

It's not a new observation, but it's wild that in Alito's mind, gay people are an abstraction who can safely be kept Out There, when lots of kids (mine included) have gay, married parents who pick them up at school together, show up at birthday parties, etc.

I think it’s even worse than that. If they somehow succeeded at completely forcing trans folks out of public life, they’d move on to some other group. Because ultimately they don’t really care about trans people that much either. They just care about having an Other to demonize.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

theatlantic.comThe Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War PlansU.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Conservatives called it a Flight 93 election, but instead of terrorists, the pilot was just a little annoying and so they stormed the cockpit and started mashing random buttons trying to find the woke one. It'd be comical if we weren't all on the plane too.

The university thing too. There are policy levers you could pull to make academia more conservative. Instead they do dipshit Maoism looking for the “woke” switch and turn off NIH funding and manage to somehow get STEM on the same side as admin staff, a group of people many of them normally despise.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

I feel like "elon musk has unlimited rights to your personal data and can literally steal your tax money while you have zero right to know what he's doing with it" should be pretty legible to everyone as tyranny

Michigan just finished their worst season in ten years and still returned home to a standing ovation because they beat Ohio State and these are the things we have to keep alive as every other shred of meaning is stripped away from the sport

and this in turn reminds of something a religion professor once said to our class: "in black church tradition, christians worship a jesus who has been lynched. in the white church tradition, christians worship a jesus who could be forgiven for lynching"

someone left the entirety of harry turtledove’s “guns of the south” series in the free library at my gym and i’m extremely tempted to just take them all

I like this but I want to be clear: the guy did the thing he wanted to do and now he’s going to go do a thing he wants to do. That’s fine.
