i can see an argument that at some point mass prosecutions of these guys might actually engender a backlash effect. i think you can just start with a peace deal with iran that involves turning over hegseth to them to answer for the children he killed and then going from there. it will have an effect
My parents used to go to the drive-in when I was little and I would sleep in the back seat. Also, I don't remember the first Disney animated movie I saw. But the first live-action movie was when I was 5, and my dad thought I'd be old enough to handle it: Star Wars.
First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

I am a huge disaster nerd (hi @nameshiv.bsky.social and @rahaeli.bsky.social) and my first obsession as a kid was the Titanic it really cannot be overstated how absolutely heroic the Carpathia was once they learned what had happened to the Titanic, this is worth your time
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)

It bears remembering that all the shit people (correctly) heap upon Schumer and Jeffries applies 100x over to GOP members of Congress. They could stop all of this at any moment
THEY ARE NOT POWERLESS TO STOP HIM! Go back to Washington, stand on the steps of the Capitol and demand Johnson and Thune recall the House and Senate, and impeach him. THIS IS HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK! THERE IS LITERALLY AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL! (It's called the Constitution.)

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

Hoo boy. If there is one thing that makes lawyers close ranks, it's when someone who isn't in our club pretends to be. In California, what she did is a literal crime - a real lawyer might think, "Maybe I shut STFU instead of confessing on TV"
Zacharia: "A lot of the misinformation, miscommunication is around the fact that I labeled myself a lawyer. I consulted for a long time many people in the field -- 'Is it ok if I label myself a lawyer?' -- and they said, 'Absolutely. You can call yourself a lawyer. You have a JD'"

farritor and kliger are the two who i want to see in orange jumpsuits being hauled off to prison
If you recognize Kliger's name, it is probably in this context: he manually shut down life-saving aid from USAID. In between his DOGE work and starting his defense start-up he was appointed to the DOD as - brace yourselves - chief data officer. bsky.app/profile/donm...
I remember *exactly*. I was... 7? 8? My mom had just gotten a job and so I had an after-school sitter for the first time, who had three kids of her own around my age. I was just quietly playing outside, talking to myself and she asked "what are you doing," I said "playing with my imagination"
QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

Every person in this story should be banned from ever being in a room with a minor child without a monitor present, and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social should resign in shame and spend the next decade of his life seeking atonement rather than high office
Great story about how the state has given up on doing anything about cranks selling their bacteria filled dairy products (ha ha that photo obviously did a number on me woooooooo) www.propublica.org/article/cali...
