If Trump can crank out 1300 words on Bill Maher you can finish that chapter

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.

Guys like Schielke follow orders when the permission structure tells them they have to, and don't necessarily surrender their sense of right and wrong. Guys like Stroop - and the cop here - think their brutality is objectively good, that they should benefit materially from it, and that they're moral

Far more of us than we'd care to admit are basically Schielke, but the Stroops are real, they don't look like stereotypical villains (Stroop's a pretty pathetic figure), and they're never, ever going to be brought around to understanding the evil inherent in their actions.

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

This seems like a big deal

absolutely sidestepping a bunch of handwringing bullshit about electorialism by simply looking at assholes and orienting yourself correctly

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

Man this PHP vulnerability is serious

This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times. (1/3)

An instant classic, at least by the low, low standards of Jaguars Junction

Right-wing billionaires now own the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, CBS News, virtually every local TV station, virtually every news radio station, most local newspapers, X, Facebook, Threads, and TikTok. (Did I miss any?) They own almost the entire information environment.

Republicans blocked this on day #2 of Trump's presidency and it took going to court to get a federal judge to release the funds

The only thing I’ll add to this fine statement is that vindictive prosecutions are now a feature, not a bug, of our constitutional system, thanks to Trump v. United States. Unless and until Congress adopts deep, structural measures, presidential harassment through the criminal system won’t go away.

too often trump v us is understood as just giving trump/presidents immunity from criminal process. horrible as that is, the decision opened up broad admin wide lawlessness. we will live with the consequences until it’s finally reversed, which eventually it must be.

the hardest lesson that overly-online millenials will ever have to learn is that cringe is over, cogent expressions of civic virtue are cool now, and we need a reboot of The West Wing yesterday

Together with other scientists I’m suing the 🇺🇸 US National Institutes of Health for violating our 1st Amendment rights & censoring our health science. I’m ready to shine a light on the darkest days. Buckle up, read on. This gets pretty wild… THREAD

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

Public executions were not abolished out of tenderness towards the criminal. They were abolished because of the effect on the people watching, and the dangers of making human death a source of commercial entertainment. Here's Charles Dickens in The Times, after witnessing an execution in 1849.

HOW DARE

sincerity is important here - when I see Gavin Newsom talk about how much Republicans suck, I don't think he actually believes it, I think he's playing a game will Ossoff do everything that needs to be done to impose consequences on these people? I don't know but I do believe he hates them

It's important to remember that the AI doom scenario assumes not only that intelligence is a single well-defined thing, but also that intelligence solves literally every single problem, and that in every conflict overwhelming intelligence always wins. This is just not how anything works.

Disturbing 🧵 I work in DC, but it's part of my job that I don't speak to journalists; I prep people who do. One of the things that I've noticed is a significant deterioration in basic standards of practice, including respecting off the record communication and porting quotes from other contexts.

This is a fantastic essay using @milhistlee.bsky.social's book on The Cutting Off Way (of war) in Native North America to think about how warfare is changing today. I think you can actually push the analogy even further though, toward overall strategic aims.

Like this is the shape of the signature you're looking for: something that surges dramatically during the pandemic but then stays pegged since. So many things people put forth as explanations fail a simple time series correlation test: they either start too early or recede post-pandemic.

free throw contest

this is an argument against, like, basically every public utility. "what if someone like trump runs the municipal water system??" I am sorry, the only answer is to make sure that dumb shit doesn't happen

Journalists are supposed to look at the world and connect the dots but in this case it's like, there's just two dots, man.
