Weezer’s ‘Pinkerton’ turns 30 today. I wrote about the album, its immediate failure, its delayed success and how it has aged alongside how I’ve aged. A toast to God’s horniest soldier! defector.com/revisiting-w...

Meanwhile memory chips are increasing in price so fast that by the time Neuromancer comes out this fall you will *actually* be able to get killed in Chiba City for 3 MB of hot RAM.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

Dana Perino actually said out loud that she didn't know any men who were 'sensitive about their masculinity.' She sits next to one every single day on The Five. I've created a montage of Jesse Watters' greatest hits. Maybe he could clean out his closet again.

Today, the Heritage Foundation, the org behind Project2025, took credit for driving Lonnie Bunch out the Smithsonian Institution. Bunch was the first African American and first historian to serve as head of the Smithsonian. But sure, tell me again how it’s not about racism.

New in PN: DHS's abuse of power in Minnesota was even worse than we knew "When the Department of Justice indicted 15 Minnesotans earlier this summer, it was painfully clear that this was a cobbled-together mess, a transparent attempt to criminalize dissent. But boy, we didn’t know the half of it."

Rep. Pat Fallon dismisses dire conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln: "These 'reports' are just that. I haven't heard anything personally. I trust the Navy. I don't make much of it, to be honest."

Biden effectively banned Chinese EVs and now Trump is banning Chinese humanoid robots. Teslas secret weapon has turned out to be the U.S. government banning their competitors. A ban on Chinese open weight AI models feels inevitable in this climate.

I love that Florida Man here has the sunglasses sunburn on his face as he's casually demanding the deportation of an elected official

When our freedom to vote is undermined, entire communities can lose their say on who makes decisions on our schools, health care, and other crucial resources. The Supreme Court must uphold fair representation for Black voters — our democracy is on the line.

Great read. An ICE attorney working for DOJ temporarily explains that ICE has no clue how all of this "federal court" stuff works and makes clear that both ICE and DOJ were totally unprepared for the flood of habeases that were the inevitable result of the Minneapolis raids.

Before ICE, I never realized how much of "keeping the public safe" involved wrecking cars.

ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.

it's cool that so many people in positions of power and influence were so negatively polarized by "wokeness" that they convinced themselves that there was an actual debate about who wanted to erase history and the "wokes" were on the wrong side bsky.app/profile/arch...
