It's insane that the president is this incredibly stupid and, moreover, weirdly proud of it. "You know, I never knew what the hell was a circle was. Most people don't, you know. Well, a circle has three sides and three corners. I call the corners 'rutabagas' but Democrats won't tell you that."
Trump: "When I see that Talafreako in Texas. So he's been a vaygan all his life. He's a vaygan vaygan, I didn't even know what the hell a veygan was. A veygan is vegetables. A vaygan is eating a piece of lettuce all day long."

JD Vance: “If we can’t reconstitute white male privilege in its fullest extent, let’s burn this motherf@@ker to the ground” is the Gospel According to Peter Thiel in full.
Look how casually Vice President JD Vance mentions the possibility of political violence (“kind of insane that we didn’t have a revolution”) when discussing white men’s grievances. White identity politics (white nationalism) is central to his worldview.

More originalist baloney from Alito. When has originalism ever led one of its adherents to a result that they did not also happen to favor as policy? I guess that’s either a remarkable coincidence, or evidence of robust bad faith. apple.news/ACn4mQ2uDS7C...

Always a good time to remind ourselves that the US Confederacy was, even judged in historical context, evil -- a pathetic, morally repellant movement led by some the smarmiest narcissists ever known. It had no redeeming features & should forever be regarded with disgust & contempt.
The Admin was taking decisive action in response to a severe shortage of potential victims.
Tuesday: The US govt offers its “deepest condolences to the victims and their families” after armed gangs storm a mountainside town in Haiti, killing dozens and kidnapping more than 50, including infants. Thursday: The govt deports 57 people, including a 3-year-old born in the U.S., to Haiti. 1/
He was almost onto something until he made a sudden turn to “the despotic rule of our lupine overlords.”
Mike Johnson: "We are now quite literally locked into a contest to determine whether we're gonna keep our republic, keep the country as it is, or break this down to the foundation and go down an entirely different road toward communism."

Not to mention someone has to take those children to those extra appointments, taking time off work and other responsibilities, and pay copays for each visit. A reporter needs to ask Trump and RFfK Jr if they EVER went to one of his five kids’ doctor’s appointments.
Yes, let’s burden both new parents and pediatricians with FIVE doctor visits instead of one for absolutely no legitimate medical reason. A masterstroke, sir.

A panel I was on at the Celsius festival got an audience question along the lines of “there’s so much romantasy around now, what about the men?” and my response was basically “men can write romantasy.” It turns out this was not actually the issue, but still. Nobody’s stopping them!
Well, literature (as art and commerce) did a very good job expanding both who are writers and who are readers, and so dudes (especially straight white ones) compete in an industry where they are a market segment but not necessarily *the primary* market segment, and that fact freaks some of them out.
