PSA: If Bill Kristol can say this dems should be able to say it

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

I won't consider Starlink for the same reason I won't buy a Tesla and why I'm no longer on the former Twitter: I won't willingly give money to (or be an advertising base for) a Nazi salute-throwing fascist who actively tried to destroy our democracy

My god. My god. Oh fucking hell. God.

This MAGA propaganda is deeply sinister. Stephen Miller has been lying about Portland/Chicago relentlessly. It's core to his project: He's trying to establish quasi-absolute power for Trump to simply invent pretexts by fiat to justify whatever abuses he launches. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2016...

interesting article on #LongCOVID www.thestar.com/news/canada/... a looong way from any kind of treatment but at least long COVID will hopefully be harder to brush off as nonexistent.

Im begging the NYT to spend time talking to people who actually teach and work at universities. Especially ones that don't have billion dollar endowments. My issues are AI use, crumbling infrastructure, vanishing staff, unfunded state mandates, a customer service model of education...

Hard to express how bizarre and frustrating it is to hear these non-academics press their hallucinatory visions of what campuses are like. Truly no relationship to the reality.

Extremely helpful from @pkrugman.bsky.social about why markets' reaction to Trump's attempts to abolish the foundations of American prosperity have been so muted, even as he's gone after Fed independence: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/why-arent-... It's even got a political epistemology angle.

Land of the free

Declaring a fake emergency as an excuse to deploy the military to police civilians is one of the most canonical examples of authoritarian takeovers. Overseas, people see clearly what Trump is doing. Here in America most people — especially those with power or influence — are in denial.

This Texas system isn't really regulation, in the sense that there aren't clear standards being enforced. It basically just gives the Texas DOT a loaded gun so it has leverage with AV companies. In other words, it's a political release valve. People have to prove non-compliance and make a stink.

it's absolutely wild that the world economy is being upended by a moron utterly unable to understand how tariffs work.

The student newspaper. This fell. To the student. Newspaper.

It’s mind boggling how many additional people this administration is killing. “I have been in this business for over 50 years on the front lines of public health…And I can say unequivocally that this was the most dangerous public health decision I have ever seen made by a government body.”

Climbing out of the back of a rental truck, so you can chase down day laborers looking to do some roofing work or whatever, all while wearing your little cowboy hat. Come on, hoss, there's got to be another way to live out your midlife crisis that isn't so pathetically sad.

RFK Jr and his GOP enablers are determined to undermine safe, effective mRNA vaccine technology that offers our best defense against future pandemics.

these maps 🤬. I've lived in Toronto for 20 years but I don't recall the wildfire smoke situation being a yearly occurrence it has recently become. unless it was but I wasn't paying attention? in any case, 150+ AQI is bad even if you can't smell the smoke. wear a respirator outside.

Orange Monday. Acrylic on canvas. 🍊

Wow

This smacks of McCarthyism. VOA journalists have no access to classified information. If hundreds of them are "missing," then release the list of names. For months, hundreds have been silenced on "paid administrative leave,"forbidden from working, their email accounts and phones deactivated.

Elon Musk's DOGE wasted more than $21 billion in just six months. Other studies have found that in the long term it may cost the government more than it saved, while resulting in millions of deaths. www.commondreams.org/news/doge-wa...

What a royal mess: Wikipedia says verifying its adult contributors "'could leave volunteers vulnerable to “data breaches, stalking, lawsuits, or even imprisonment by authoritarian regimes.” As such, while it’s still available for now, [it's] considering blocking UK users to avoid compliance."

This woman is an astoundingly vile predator and its despicable if she gets anything out of this situation just because she’s of political use.

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape. Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

It will be absolutely wild if Pogacar wins today. I don’t think he will but the winner will be from his group.#TDF #TDF2025

South Park went after CBS and Paramount too.

South Park is getting canceled after this lmao.

Exodus from WaPo benighted opinion section continues. Abandon hope all ye who remain.

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

this is absolutely amazing. well worth an hour of your time to watch.

I have only ever seen bits of this person on TikTok but I just watched the whole thing and it’s fully bonkers how this sounds like it’s been workshopped for months but at one point he reads a Truth Social post from that day. really at the top of his game

A classic form of corruption: using gov’t contexts to coerce political rivals. “Just days after Trump in early June raised the prospect of cutting ties with Musk’s businesses, the Trump admin initiated a review of SpaceX’s contracts with the federal gov’t” www.wsj.com/business/tru...

Fled Pinochet. Granted asylum 38 years ago. Deported by Pedochet.

wow, I didn't expect this. I was sure that because of Pogacar's crash yesterday Vingegaard would be taking time from him today, not the other way around. Pog is inhuman. #TDF #TDF2025

Michael Woods 🇨🇦💪! #TDF #TDF2025

Tedious to point this out, but: - When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story. -Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

BREAKING: On emergency applications from the Solicitor General, Supreme Court holds, 6-3, that further discussion of the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax is a felony.

I don't understand why UAE is chasing the break. I would have thought Pogacar would be happy to give up the yellow to MVDP at this point in the race. #TDF #TDF2025

Dear #mathsky, if you repost this, it will let people see the article for free. Thanks! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

we live in the stupidest timeline

If 4.9 million kids with asthma is a national health priority, what does it mean when 5.8 million have Long Covid? Why is the #1 chronic condition in children being ignored?

Long Covid is now the number one chronic illness in kids "Repeatedly mass infecting kids with COVID is not a public health strategy" By @juliadoubleday.bsky.social Https://www.thegauntlet.news/p/long-covid-is-now-the-number-one

Musk's launch of driverless taxis included someone sitting in the driver's seat: "While Tesla robotaxis are meant to be fully autonomous, Tesla employees were still present in the passenger seat of the cars for safety reasons."
