There’s truly something deeply wrong with these people: all of them.

This is the story

These debates about accommodations for autistic and ADHD people always seem predicated on the false idea there is some generous but zero-sum basket of resources. There isn’t. We’re usually talking about things like extra time, instruction clarification, wearing headphones, or using fidget tools.

Wait, does he think the fog of war is literally smoke?

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.

NFL Rule 12 Section 2 Article 10 IMPERMISSIBLE USE OF THE HELMET It is a foul if a player: lowers his head and makes forcible contact with his helmet against an opponent; or uses any part of his helmet or facemask to butt or make forcible contact to an opponent’s head or neck These provisions […]

Yikes that was ugly #mnf #nfl

Refereeing in the NFL is broken. They saw the fumble but not the hard helmet to helmet hit that caused it. GTFOH. #NFL #mnf #nygvsne

A fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum thrives at Chernobyl: “Some scientists think its dark pigment—melanin—may allow it to harness ionizing radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. This proposed mechanism is even referred to as radiosynthesis.”

The Twitter account for the Turning Point USA chapter at OU seems to have only started posting last week with an anti-trans pressure campaign. And then, oh gosh, what are the odds that they just happened to immediately find someone who claims to have been discriminated against by a trans person?

WATCH: @MarshaBlackburn knows the #TN7 race is close, and hilariously claims even Dems support Trump’s agenda 🤔— which is historically unpopular.

Also can we talk about how thirsty it is for Speaker Johnson to be wearing Trump-Vance campaign gear around Tennessee today? In November 2025? Someone really doesn’t seem to understand this separate branches of government thing. #AmericanDuma #SpinelessSpeaker

Rage baiting.

Every once in awhile I think about how in 2008 there was a campaign commercial asking voters who they would trust to be in the White House if something important happened overseas at 3am.

I found this genuinely enlightening. It explains a lot that has puzzled me over the years.

Oh gosh if only there were people in the Dem party with any forward -looking vision that we could have ever taken seriously, some sort of, I don’t know, group or bunch or.. squad ..or something… 🤔

Habba good day

This morning is oral argument at the Supreme Court in Cox Communications v. Sony Music Entertainment. Cox unfortunately isn't pressing this point but it is an enormously important First Amendment case involving online free speech. Here's the amicus brief I wrote: www.techdirt.com/2025/09/05/s...

The drunken rapist war criminal sure is a psycho.

A fair question. 😕🇺🇸

Trump: I'm going to pardon massive drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández, bc I don't think former leaders should be held accountable for their crimes. Also Trump: But I'm going to make thinly sourced claims that Maduro is a drug kingpin so I can rationalize an illegal war based on that claim.

It says a lot about our country that the FBI had no interest in interviewing Brett Kavanaugh but wants to talk to Mark Kelly.

Next week the House E&C Committee is looking to run something of a shock and awe campaign, debating at least 19 bills that they say are related to "protecting kids online." Most of which are actually about censorship and control. Don't buy the framing. It's always the same damn thing.
