It appears that John Roberts has been studying the Susan Collins playbook! www.nytimes.com/2026/08/31/u...

Google caved in less than 24 hours!

“somewhat surprising”? This is the least surprising conclusion of the year!

The Democratic Party freaking out that Democratic Party candidates are winning is the most Democratic Party thing ever.

George Will, Ramesh Ponnuru, Jeff Flake ... So many Rs honoring Democrats with their generous and well-intentioned advice to shun Graham Platner! Thanks!

Ramesh Ponnuru is dissing Platner. Good enough for me. Platner is a strange reason for Democrats to dump moral standards www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Wow! Talk about late to the party! www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/o...

@hallicrafters.bsky.social Great handle! How I loved my SX-99!

If you think you have read everything about Mike Johnson think again. 🧵 1/ Mike Johnson has filed federal disclosures for 8 yrs & reports no bank acct, no savings, no retirement fund, no investments. His office later admitted he does have a bank acct, but earns 0 interest so

Iran’s official military spokesperson Ibrahim Al-Fiqar shared this AI-generated image of Donald Trump bowing before Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with the caption “The end..”

Welcome home, NYT. Where the hell have you been?? www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/o...

Also an interesting example highlighting the reversal of party ideals that occurred during the next century.

Great piece from @michaelharriot.bsky.social www.contrabandcamp.com/p/the-second...

@rdmorris.bsky.social - Have you seen *any* evidence supporting the canard that Andes hantaviris requires "prolonged close contact" for human to human transmission?

I. Just. Can't.

When I was in med school in the early 1970s, we were told that these HeLa cells that seemed to be central to every cell biology research paper were obtained from a patient named Helen Lane. www.pbs.org/newshour/sci...

◾️It is a historic mistake that no one pushed back on Putin's actions in 2014; ◾️No one stopped Putin when he still wasn't that strong. So he came with tanks and missiles in 2022. Now Putin is even more sure of himself. If we give him a chance to feel his victory, it's unclear what he will do next.

No, Mike. There is no judge involved, pretend or otherwise. From www.congress.gov/crs-product/...

“He is served by a party, a movement, and a media that view him as a nearly religious figure … Some view him as a messiah…“ Yes. “Christ” is a title, “Jesus” is a name. Today’s “Christian” Nationalists have by no word or deed shown that their Christ is Jesus. open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

Don’t believe me? I’ll walk you through the process, and how Republicans can, have, and will thwart the democratic process of selecting the next President in 2028.-Brynn Tannehill bylinetimes.com/2026/01/22/t...

GOP in 1992: "Clinton will take your guns!" CLINTON: "No, I won't." GOP in 2008: "Obama will take your guns!" OBAMA: "No, I won't." GOP in 2020: "Biden will take your guns!" BIDEN: "No, I won't." GOP in 2024: "Harris will take away your guns!" DONALD TRUMP: "You can't have guns."

Excellent but mistitled, by J. Rauch. tl;dr: agrees with @radiofreetom.bsky.social "So the United States, once the world’s exemplary liberal democracy, is now a hybrid state combining a fascist leader and a liberal Constitution; but no, it has not fallen to fascism. And it will not." bit.ly/3LNSzwU

@noahpinion.blogsky.venki.dev Among those "illegal" immigrants that you chastised Democrats for ignoring in a recent Substack, we find included "someone who crosses illegally and then lives peacefully and otherwise lawfully in America." How does Noah the economist view that particular cohort?

We are there, folks. Can we not finally stop being surprised at the next outrage! "President Trump is stress-testing American law, and the law is failing the test." Gift article - Please read. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/o...

FIGHT BACK. IT'D BE A SHAME NOT TO.

Why is Iran getting ghosted on BlueSky?

Aargh!!! Anderson Cooper cut off Izzy AGAIN!!!

"... all these older, powerful men navigated her, and, through that, she learned how to navigate them, and the world, in a way that I think has gravitas." WTF?

How can hearing a truth universally acknowledged induce a near-terminal cringe?

Do they teach calculus at Wharton? Trump clearly failed that one. Inflation = rate of price change. Decreasing = good Current Prices = result of past inflation. Decreasing = it’s complicated.

We are so far off the playing field here we can't even see the stadium.

LA just says it out loud: Because of the order, there are “undefined and operationally impracticable standards that expose the city and its officers to contempt for good-faith actions taken to protect the public ...” In other words: The press is permitted to show the world what the LAPD is doing.

Considering the stakes, does this show us how to win? “Conventional wisdom says to meet people where they are. But, on most issues, where they are is unacceptable.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
