I write code for a living in cascadia, but I used to work as a gigging musician in the baptist buckle of the Bible belt (Texas). I'm much happier now.

Officers illegally stopped, detained, and arrested a Navy veteran after he lawfully recorded a traffic stop. Then they tracked him for weeks using Flock Safety cameras. reason.com/2026/09/02/w...

Tony Bourdain taught us all that a place is full of good food, good people, and good experiences despite very shitty politics and I think it’s kind of classically American to have thought we were excluded from that Venn diagram
I thought the world cup was going to be a nightmare, but I forgot that we actually love when people like us

Every time these people complain about cancel culture or being shamed or silenced, remember it's because popular opinion decided maybe traditional values on things were wrong. They will not argue this: they will say they're being oppressed by private individuals practicing their rights. Don't stop
Recall that “you’re not allowed” doesn’t mean you will be jailed or sued or prohibited; it means that other people will exercise their First Amendment rights in response to yours, to express their views and defend their neighbors. But that violates Free Speech Culture.
When I was ordering my drink "LA style" (which means no ICE) I thought to myself "you know what the most populous city in California needs? A faux reality TV turned MAGA guy who has never voted in in LA election as mayor"
Me, a smart free thinker who won’t surrender to the Woke mob: how is it possible a Republican lost in Los Angeles

“This person is controversial for acknowledging the humanity of Palestinian children” doesn’t strike me as a good look but that’s just me.
I promise you that, no matter how hard @jewishinsider.com tries, they will never convince anyone normal that Ms. Rachel is "controversial" to anyone normal. It's embarrassing.

Not sure I am swayed by the version of masculinity advanced by a guy who looks like “Grandpa Munster’s nephew the registered sex offender nobody talks about”
Ted Cruz on Talarico: "If you were making a list of 1,000 adjectives to describe this guy, 'masculine' would not be one of them. I mean, if a stiff breeze came by it would blow him over like a feather."

It's always shitty white dudes who want to be shitty white dudes but claim moral superiority over someone. There's already a party for that. They meet at child beauty pageants, behind the guy who fell asleep in his diapers with a cell phone in his hand.
I feel like if you’re suggesting that being a misogynist dipshit is essential to political success, that says more about you than it does about politics.

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist
This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

Fox News has always been the epitome of the playground bully personality
Fox News hosts are now openly advocating for little kids to be mocked on the school playground if they are overweight - essentially saying it should be public policy. "It is a part of the MAHA movement, this is part of the, a central part of the MAHA movement." www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/dis...

Trump’s pathology is naked and writhing obscenely: They never respected us, but now we’ve made them respect us
Trump in response to a question about Iran firing on US ships and why that doesn't violate the ceasefire: "They respect us. They didn't used to respect us. But they respect us more than we've ever been respected. Our country now is the hottest country anywhere in the world."

I went peepee in the potty today. Aced it. There was a sink and a tub and a trash can but I didn’t peepee in any of those. I used the potty. The part where you should lift the seat cover first is very easy. They say “which part do you pee in?” And I say “the water part.”
Trump: "I took three cognitive tests. Aced all of them, by the way. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don't think Obama could pass it. The first question is very easy -- it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, 'Which one is the bear?'"

Ruling: True. We can't believe a word that comes out of the Trump administration on any topic. Not even whether Iran has agreed to peace talks or how many missiles we have left. It's no wonder people assume he staged one or more of his assassination attempts.
One reason conspiracy theories are reaching bipartisan status may be because this man lies like he breathes, the press corps magnifies his lies, and no one knows what's true anymore. I'll leave it to @beyerstein.bsky.social to provide a ruling. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Hey @kenwhite.bsky.social , is Todd Blanche a good lawyer?

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
Today is the 128th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship in U.S. v. Wong Ark Kim.

They started a war of choice for absolutely no reason, with no real strategy and no real preparation, and the end result will be a global situation that is, in every single way, worse than what it was when they started.
Amazing. But it seems that the US is *assuming* that Iran will emerge from the war vastly stronger. able to either dictate or seriously contest sovereignty over the strait, exact tolls, etc.
