The entire conservative legal movement and philosophy of “originalism” is premised on the illegitimacy of any SCOTUS decision that doesn’t fit the GOP party platform

I don’t see why Dem administrations *should* resist doing the same - done right, it’s public education about the impact and effectiveness of government.

It’s always funny how taxing unrealized gains is a no-no but borrowing against it is fine. How about we make borrowing against any and all unrealized gains an immediately taxable event.

Property taxes are like libraries in that people would scream they are an impossible leftist fantasy if they hadn't already existed forever.

I didn’t know much about the leg extension trend until I read @prachigu.bsky.social’s superb book about her brother’s descent into the manosphere and the pressures that exist there. It’s sad and very dangerous that a generation of men is being convinced by scummy influencers that they need it.

I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line. No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more. I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.

it's like one of those 'heartwarming: toddler raises lunch money' stories but actually good this time, this is what electing Democrats should get you

In the past, Pelosi has stipulated that everyone has a right to try their luck in a primary, but she's also unflinchingly backed House incumbents when they do get challenged in a primary. So the first half of this is no surprise, but "Democrats don't run against Democrats" is a shift.

There is now a K-shaped trend in tech where AI engineers & researchers are living their best lives while everyone else is facing layoffs and is unable to find a role. An L5 (5 to 8 years of experience) at Anthropic is a $920K role as described by the candidate in the post below.

Christopher Caldwell is a regular contributor to the @nytimes.com by the way, if you want to get a sense of what opinions the intelligentsia think are respectable and intriguing and which they think are beyond the pale.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

first time in history where in the official narrative the passive voice was used for those attacking the cops and not vice-versa

unstoppable force (US/UK boomer need for care labour) vs immovable object (the global g20 rage against immigrant labour)

Our pop stars continue to be both more accountable and more responsive to feedback than the editorial board of the New York Times

It's remarkable how low COVID deaths have fallen in the last year. The 2024 summer wave peaked at 1,358 deaths per week; the 2025 summer wave peaked at 466 deaths per week. www.cdc.gov/covid/php/su...

Silicon Valley billionaire responses to wealth tax proposals: “It’s illegal confiscation!” Property taxes go back to ancient times “We will move away!” Yes you lack loyalty to society “You’re just jealous of us!” ?? “We will buy new politicians to stop this.” Yes this is precisely the point

Sorry but you do not, under absolutely any circumstances, gotta hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/m...

Keir Starmer was the model for centrists and popularists who insisted that moving right on issues, especially immigration, is how you win at politics. Wonder if there will ever be any self-reflection here! Ah well nevertheless

Anyway, I’m starting a high end security company for retirement homes. I call it BALROG.

It’s been half a century and it seems like this still isn’t widely understood. (from Robert Caro, 'The Power Broker', Vintage: 1975, p. 897)

It is quite funny and interesting that they cannot get a "subtle racist" Grok; the attempts are either a Grok straight outta 4chan or a Grok that has standard pluralistic views except for thinking Musk is a superhuman.

As Dave gets at, Dems content to operate in an info environment dominated by the right surrender the initiative to their political foes. The right can propagate damaging narratives at will — as Dems wait in vain for a chance to “get the facts out” so they can “let the voters decide.”

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

posting occupies an entirely different part of my brain than texting does

In this day and age, we understand that trust is paramount. That’s why here at Judas, we promise we won’t sell you out for thirty pieces of silver.

Sauron was not only evil, he got distracted and his defenses failed

Imagine if Stephen Miller hated poverty as much as he hates brown people

this is such a funny email to send millions of people several times per week

They asked themselves “are we the baddies?” and the answer was a resounding yes

Excited to announce GOLLUM, an app that helps you focus on your most precious possession!

Wild framing for an election where dude actually cleared 50% lol especially after mainstream media kept insisting Trump's plurality squeaker reflected some kinda resounding mandate. Y'all ain't slick!

she's 18

Old enough to remember when being forced to sell cake to gays was considered tyranny.

Moody and Richard not being options to dribble the ball against pressure is a BIT of a problem.

"And I never say no" We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control. We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Broke: Donald Trump is not barred from higher office by the constitution Woke: SCOTUS and Congress failed to uphold the constitutional ban on Trump to hold office Bespoke: The People failed to uphold the constitutional ban on Trump to hold office

Just opened a 14 page brief in Adobe Acrobat and it gave me a popup saying "this appears to be a long document, would you like an AI summary?" and I feel like a whole bunch of Gen Z lawyers are gonna lose their licenses if law schools don't warn them about this shit.

NYT just ran a bizarrely credulous piece about New College, the school that DeSantis and Rufo have turned upside down. There is one good outcome of the article: This @donmoyn.bsky.social post, which is one of the best pieces of media criticism I've read all year. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Pope Leo’s pick to lead New York Catholics signals shift away from Maga ft.trib.al/CbAO5TZ

A nice thread in which an actual expert patiently explains why the Secretary of Health and Human Service is not simply a liar, but an especially stupid one.

AOC: "It's not just that Trump is corrupt. It's that everyone participating in this is corrupt. Elon is corrupt. Jeff Bezos is corrupt. Mark Zuckerberg is corrupt."

"Most major equity markets have outperformed the US in 2025 as geographic diversification has, for the first time in many years, benefited investors." **For the first time in many years**

I think leaving aside whether it's a good strategic idea the reason Dem leaders don't want to talk impeachment isn't because it's not popular in the country, it's because they're worried it's not popular *in a bunch of competitive congressional seats that voted for Trump in 2024*

much of fitness culture in the US was developed by people who literally entered sports and physical education instead of going to therapy and the attitudes around intensity and effort kinda reflect that. the smiling Jazzercise folks were right and your football coach / PE teacher was wrong

Meanwhile Ron Johnson today saying immigrants are poor and stay poor so they live on govt handouts. I realize they want you to square it by imagining the govt hands free single family houses to illegal migrants but of course that's bullshit

Elkus’s Law: There is no surer way to attract someone saying a thing on the internet than to claim nobody is saying it.
