“Congress in the 1980s wasn’t thinking about data sharing for targeted advertising.” But the Founders clearly supported private ownership of AR-15s. Got it.

So our library's second branch is right next to animal control and I mean throw a rock and hit the other building. Imagining them getting called about a bear "It's outside the door! JUST LOOK OUT THE DAMN WINDOW DENNIS!"

federal immigration agents beat up a US citizen in Evanston on Sunday morning and left him lying in the street or as Kavanaugh would put it, he experienced as "brief investigative stop" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome” cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip! ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/alito...

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Just in time for the 2026-2027 vaccines, a new review shows that COVID19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalization across all age groups, including kids. Pregnant women were also protected, as were their babies. Don’t forget to schedule your vaccination!

Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Not so unlike American football, after all.

Alan Shearer: "When the referee goes back to VAR for Egypts goal & cancels it due to an interference at the start of play, but doesn't go back to VAR for Agentina's winning goal despite 2 interferences at the start of play... then we're watching a "theatre" not a football match.

If this is true -- a very big if -- it is surely how McConnell would have wanted to go: exploiting the timing of the death of major figures (Scalia, RBG) for cynical partisan gain.

Sometimes a picture says more than a thousand words. Cartoon artist Mette Dreyer got the Pentel prise for best cartoon in 2025. Reported in today's Politiken newspaper.

Paul Krugman pointed this out, too. No one held Reagan to account for inflation, either, probably because high inflation had been entrenched throughout the 1970s.

Micah@rincewind.run

this is very funny because inflation was objectively much worse for both Carter and Biden I have a couple hypothesis but the main one is that people were unhappy with the other two for not doing enough to solve inflation but they are madder at Trump for causing it (tariffs, iran)

I still genuinely loathe the pivot to video. I can read faster than you talk and don’t need to listen to your rambling before you eventually never even get to the point. And subtitles have made it even worse… I’ve already read ahead of what you’re saying, so just write it down
