stephen miller visited the delphic oracle and was really excited when he was told 2026 would be about the triumph of the Will.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Happy New Year. Everyone gets a hug.

In 1773, a crack monastic order was dissolved by the Catholic church for a heresy they didn’t commit. Today, still wanted by the Holy Office, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help and if you can find them, maybe you can hire - the J-Team.

Lots of state house focus these days. Dem governors are facing a serious risk of just having won the right to be standing on the bridge when the ship hits the iceberg. That's good, I guess - you don't want Gong Show contestants on the bridge - but it's a potential resume-killer....

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s: "I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”

Sick of everything being Orwellian or Kafkaesque. I demand more Scarrylous situations, where animals drive vehicles and run small businesses.

The courts will ultimately decide whether the President even has the authority to redefine Title IX in this way. I remain in firm support of our state leaders, our schools, and all those fighting to ensure that Maine remains a place that values fairness, inclusion, and equality for all.

This is how it’s done.

EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story. wapo.st/3EF3aWN

The people who say “America voted for this, they deserve this, and they should get it good and hard” ignore that the brunt of what “this” means will be borne by marginalized people of all stripes. It’s the whole reason accelerationism is monstrous.

This is, literally, a textbook example of an unethical edict. Like exactly this is literally in every ethics textbook.

Turns out we're the weird ones. People preferred existing norms, categories, and the prevalent hierarchies of race and gender.
