RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I think to some extent people just figured he was joking. At this point it's become apparent that he's only funny on accident

Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social

I sometimes think of Trump as a Moral Alien. A garden variety sociopath usually at least grasps, however roughly and abstractly, how someone with a minimal sense of empathy or conscience thinks, if only because it's often tactically necessary to fake it. Trump has lost contact with even that.

i think it would be great with the holiday season right around the corner if we skipped the "how to avoid talking about politics with your kooky uncle" articles and got a bunch of more useful "how to talk to older family members about setting a family codeword in case of phishing attempts" articles

"The Jews who went to Mississippi didn't take selfies and post tweets." Okay, but honestly, if tweets had been a thing in 1961, many of them probably would have done.

For all the angst over high gas prices, Americans are buying surprisingly few electric cars, Andrew Moseman writes. He explores what it will take for drivers to actually embrace EVs. theatln.tc/XX7MsVuK

The federal government is going after Ilhan Omar only because of her race, gender, religion, and party, openly admitting they have no probable cause and aim to manufacture something. Worse because she’s a sitting member of Congress. That makes it an attack on her constituents and US democracy too.

This is stupid. She's a citizen, just as I am. I was born here and she was naturalized, but we are equals or else America is not a land of freedom, the Constitution is not worth anything, and America is a failed state

New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin have reached a deal to abolish NYC's horse carriage industry — a critical breakthrough in a decadeslong, politically fraught effort to ban the tourist attraction. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Vance: "Some of America's most elite universities bring in foreigners to undercut wages of American residents. There are 9 universities in particular we believe merit an investigation. Those are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Brown, the University of Pittsburg, UC Davis, Cal Tech, Arizona State, and MIT."

There is no evidence this was built from a decompilation of the Adobe suite, which has been possible for decades

Already mailed my ballot but I'll take one of these

Michael Froomkin@mfroomkin.bsky.social

Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)

Samuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests. Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

On top of everything else, "trump" and "musk" are two occasionally useful English words devoid of any equally punchy, cromulent synonyms. Now ruined

Trump: "If we lose $50 billion a year with a country, and we say 'we're not going to trade with you anymore,' we don't lose $50 billion a year. It's very simple. Right?"
