Bad men gain power when we don't fight back. Vivek Ramaswamy is everything wrong with politics: arrogance, cruelty, dishonesty, and a willingness to do ANYTHING for power. Ohio deserves better. I'm proud that my wife, MK, is supporting Dr. Amy Acton today.

They've spent my whole life lying about all of those things, it has to matter that they're saying it out loud now.

It must matter that these guys all see women as "breeding stock." It must matter that these guys want slavery back. It must matter that these guys want every middle class child to spend their adulthood one missed paycheck away from the abyss.

logging on to the earnest high-info neurotics website every day during the everything going wrong decade: 'you know, the vibes here could be better'

And now goodbye to Tim Curry. ❤️

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

the republican party, november 2026:

The removal of the apex predator will collapse the Maryland I-95 ecosystem

The Nissan Altima is being discontinued after 2026 The popular sedan will be discontinued after nearly three decades on the market

We need term limits for Beltway media more than we do for politicians

Every time I read a story about gynecology it's always something like "doctors discovered women could experience pain in 1989 but decided not to act on this knowledge for 20 years"

Stuff like this the inescapable dipshitery of Unitary Executive Theory. Successive presidents can just create and dismantle these things over and over again.

In a sane world (an alt reality) today's dissents would sufficient to warrant Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito's impeachment and removal from office. If you defy the plain words, meaning, intent, history, precedent of a black letter constitutional injunction u are abusing your power and should be removed.

They hate gender studies for the same reason they hate legitimate journalism: They don’t like people pointing out what they’re doing.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

This is one of the most quietly revolutionary things any city can do to improve kids' lives & outcomes. If you genuinely care about kids having access to education or safe after school spaces & activities, then fund your libraries, staff your libraries, & make every public school ID a library card.

trying to play peekaboo with my child but he's a European diplomat: me: where'd daddy go? baby: we must articulate a post-daddy vision of strategic autonomy me: peekaboo! baby: my historic relationship with my father is stable despite recent troubles

The data broker loophole allows agencies to buy personal data without a warrant. As Congress weighs FISA 702 and AI use, Senior Civil Rights Policy Advisor at UnidosUS, Claudia Ruiz, calls for reforms to the law that would require a court order before agencies can purchase sensitive data.

this is the same type of posting they did when cracker barrel changed its logo

I guess it’s a perfect night for the world’s most foremost experts in normalizing tragedy and absurdity.

FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT DEAD

I remain convinced that one of the most important things the next Democratic president can do to avoid falling victim to a Biden-style vibecession is to mercilessly, relentlessly crack down on crypto and organized gambling. Just go full scorched-earth.

You know what would be amazing, if Vance can negotiate an agreement where Iran doesn't enrich above 3.67% (far below weapons grade); gets rid of 98% of its stockpile of uranium; has weekly inspections by the IAEA; and commits to all of this for at 10 years. Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

One indication of congressional atrophy is that people turn to SCOTUS for the thing we should but don't get from Congress: an actual public debate on an important policy issue. Which of course isn't supposed to be a legislative debate, but we've stopped having any actual legislative debates.

Not her trying twice to take away the mic and steer the interview away from PE. Modern news are such efin' cowards.

This guy gets it.

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

The refund question is so so messy my god. But it’s an enormous political opportunity for the opposition party.

People mentally cannot accept or grapple with a world where progressive economic policies do not magically make everyone love you

One of my black pill moments was that Biden actually focused on lifting the lowest quartiles up at the expense of the rich and the online left screamed at him about student loan forgiveness.

We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us

BREAKING: “in my 24th year of my quest to settle the planet Mars, I have just been informed of a basic fact of celestial mechanics.”

if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

Like seriously, rewatch the Ring ad. It's worth outlawing and then breaking up Amazon. This is surveillance state technology the worst authoritarian dictatorships of the past always dreamed of.

Amber Glenn, a queer Texan who started ice skating at the stonebriar mall in frisco at age 5, who plays magic the gathering, is an olympic gold medalist

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.
