OMG I LIVE FOR THIS! ❤️

One cool thing about being the Pope is that it puts you in a position to diss JD Vance in a truly EPIC way

We really need to start caring about lying, as a society

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut

And lies, and the cynical "all politicians lie" dodge for excusing the whoppers Trump tells, and the even more cynical twisting of language that Orwell warned us about 50 years ago, are evils that a free press should *fight against*, not *enable.* Currently much of them do the latter.

Doing things the "right" way, burning out and then realizing there is another option, coming back and winning it all with no fucks given? Yes please tell me that story forever.

I am running some cool games at GaryCon this year! Come play at my table.

It is pretty telling that it comes as something of a surprise that the Supreme Court sided with the Constitution over Trump.

Meanwhile I’m nervously texting my campaign manager if I can use campaign funds for travel to the state Dem convention and trying to find the cheapest public transit. There should be SEVERE penalties for misuse of campaign funds - it’s not your personal piggy bank. It’s a sacred trust.

Didn't find any Powerful Owls, but there was this beautiful little Boobook right on sunset today.

frankly asserting that conservative justices of the supreme court are slimeballs under malign foreign interest is an accusation that even the hardest partisan warriors wouldn't make, and trump's doing it about two justices he, himself, appointed

Wild that the president of the united states is reacting to a supreme court ruling by having a crash out temper tantrum meltdown press conference where he's literally saying this isn't fair, I'm allowed to do whatever I want, even destroy countries, and people are acting like it's situation normal.

VO like a 70s B-horror trailer and Ralph Bakshi-esque animation? I'm in!

A key point here is that Trump has no idea what he’s talking about. He’s just bloviating. That should be reflected in the news coverage, but it won’t be.

It's not a new observation, but I'm always struck listening to Trump cry and whine about how he's the victim, bitch and moan about how mean and unfair everyone is to him, brag endlessly about how great he is and how unfair it all is, to remember that his cult thinks he's the Peak Alpha Male

my theory is that this is because 1) Brett Kavanaugh has always been truly terrible and 2) Brett Kavanaugh feels a great deal of loyalty towards the president whose administration faked an investigation into rape allegations against him

At the press conference, Trump says he is "absolutely ashamed of certain members of the court for not having the courage to do what's right for the country" & congratulates the dissenters by name for their "strength and wisdom and love of our country, which is right now very proud of those justices"

CNN doing PR for Johnson here by claiming "the general practice is for presidents, select military officials & select government officials to lie in honor" without noting exceptions. Like Billy Graham. So White preacher gets to lie in state but not Black one?

Alysa Liu should consider having really distinct hair if she wants to stand out 🙄

HELL no. Your own hometown newspaper (which in better times for the paper I used to write for) gets your identity wrong with a racist photoswap in a post about the biggest night of your life? A paper serving a majority Asian American metro population? Apology, retraction, sackcloth and ashes.

I know this one! #Jeopardy

Like if you think having tariffs was going to be bad for Trump and taking them away will be better for him and you’re not factoring in TRUMP TAKING A HUGE PUBLIC L AND LOOKING LIKE THE WORLD’S BIGGEST LOSER, you’re doing it wrong.

That’s literally already the law, but I guess manufacturing outrage is easier than governing.

Actual photo of Alysa Liu. The Chronicle error noted below is so egregious one wonders if it wasn't a result of AI, or simple "all Asians look alike" racism. (Narrator: They don't.)

Omg. I feel like every Asian person just now collectively flinched, and had a "yep, been there!" moment. I have a NOT THAT ASIAN pin for this very reason.

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

I rant and rave a lot here that we keep taking too seriously Harvard dudes who keep getting it so wrong. When I say instead we should pay more attention to the ones who’ve been proven accurate again and again, I’m talking about Leah. (Not only her. But absolutely her.)

Leah is one of the most, perhaps the most articulate and clear voice on the Court's shambling corruption

Accurate.

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

Bari Weiss talks about trust *a lot* to justify her goal of making CBS News more like the Free Press, a niche publication which critiques mainstream media. She is losing viewers, as people view her as an unthreatening choice for an ambitious Trump-supporting media consolidators.

I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.

I learned this stuff endlessly in Catholic school. The metaphysics never made much sense to me but the ethics sure did stick.

I honestly think one reason Millennials are so angry about all this is that many of us grew up during the brief period in American history where the official line was that we had won history *because* of our values, and most of us actually internalized that.
