Me, for the past year: Why are there so many pro-AI articles in The New Yorker…?

I’ve seen several accounts on here say that members of Congress need to be paid more and

It will be interesting to see whether this has the opposite effect of generating more support for leftist politicians because, like the commencement speakers getting roundly booed for talking up AI, legacy media can’t comprehend that people would (and do) vehemently disagree with them.

If I’m Detroit, a major 2nd half adjustment that I’m making is to hit more than 25% of my shots

unfurling a "white replacement" banner should get you permabanned from MLB stadiums

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

The Good Soldier Švejk Underworld Europe Central

Honored. And looking toward to standing in solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of UAW workers and retirees as AG.

One day we’re going to do a real twitter files, find out every powerful or influential person who’s been cooking their brains in group chats and, like, send them to Elba with no smartphones or something

I cannot stress enough how much anyone who complains about the government spending money to give new parents free diapers should never know one single moment of peace

Everything about this is second rate. They can’t even get as terrible a ratio as @gluesenkampperez.house.gov

I’m not a tax lawyer, but if an organization pays for you and your family to travel around the country to see the sights, isn’t that . . . taxable income?

A note about discourse around the DC mayoral race: I'm seeing a lot of self-described YIMBYs favor the NIMBY-aligned candidate (McDuffie) over the unabashed YIMBY (Lewis-George). They've justified this by shoving their pet issues under the YIMBY umbrella, making it a kind of centrist omnicause.

I have not seen a cybertruck in months

I wrote about the campaign to criminalize “organized retail theft” in this piece. It’s the only time I’ve written something where I felt like I was going crazy. Theft is already a crime! But retailers lied about the stats, the law, and the causes—they claim that MS-13 and Hezbollah are behind it.

Will it show how much of my bill is for the multiyear rate increase that the DC Court of Appeals vacated after finding that the DC PSC failed to do the bare legal minimum required to approve it but that Pepco is still charging me for?

To be precise, the flies were endangered Delhi Sands flower-loving flies that Harlan Crow ordered for $275,000 from the version of SkyMall that is only available to billionaires

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

Vote Cuomo

Wow, that’s almost the entire amount of money the Mayor is proposing to cut from the Access to Justice program ($27m) that connects DC’s most vulnerable residents to free legal services. Legal services for those most in need vs vacant office space, who can say which is more important

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

Took my son to his 1-year checkup yesterday where they give you a checklist of all the ways to properly care for your baby & I was like “lol I can’t believe the state entrusts me with the job of taking care of this fragile being” but then you pause for a second to comprehend just how low the bar is

I know I am entering old man yells at cloud territory here, but man do I dislike hearing “compute” used as a noun.

muting this thread because people are disagreeing with my hot take

Not letting me have what I want is NIMBYism

It was interesting to watch CM Felder hold a hearing on his bill to legalize online casinos in DC and ask questions of witnesses, both of which he wrote himself and were definitely not drafted by gambling lobbyists.

You can hear Alito’s huffing

The people on here decrying AI “slop” clearly haven’t seen this youtube.com/shorts/d3cm2...

All my blockers become my followers when I sit down at the table of posting success

The way I know that I don’t have the soul of a poster is that I can’t do this without thinking too hard

For me, the most striking thing about the Supreme Court's opinion killing off the Voting Rights Act is how *casual* it is. Short, dry, uncomplicated, barely bothers engaging with the dissent. Just 37 pages of Sam Alito rewriting the law to say what he wishes it said, and then clocking out.

My quick read of Callais decision is that the majority says if a racial community votes consistently with a party, then it is okay to deny them representation because that's just partisan gerrymandering

My washing machine broke, which is basically the personal pan pizza version of the Strait of Hormuz crisis

Randy Barnett was my con law professor about 10 years ago and, while a blowhard, was like most of us capable of existing in public without being compelled to say gross, racist shit. Neurologists should study the effects of RW media and X on ppl’s brains like they study the effects of CTE on athletes

Randy Barnett is the Amy Wax of Jonathan Turleys

I am convinced this is all research by MGP’s staff/consultants to perfect an AI prompt for generating skeets designed to make the average Bluesky user’s head explode

Why does the American Bus Association logo look like the emblem of the Galactic Empire

$5.25/hr stocking produce at a small grocery store in 1999

PBS really trying to make the “defund PBS” movement appealing to everyone, huh

A law firm that represents tenants and tenants only

the theft discourse sucks because moralizing on it is pointless You have to treat the signal as diagnostic: defection from the social contract will continue until the social contract is renewed

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

i'm waiting for my man 0.000013 BTC in my hand

If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

If Michigan has to lose to one school than let it be PTKU, but something tells me we won’t make it easy…

Baltimore has had success in lowering crime by providing youth opportunities instead of relying on punitive measures. Why aren’t DC leaders interested in this? We should be learning from Baltimore and trying new approaches.

lol pocket squares are designed to be folded up and stuffed, hidden away from view. a 100% on-point metaphor for anyone attending this event.

Sadducee press feeling very left out rn
