I like it when the iPod shuffle algorithm finds the deep cuts.

Not really surprising. I imagine that the overlap between people who WANT TO BE COPS and people who NEED TO CONTROL is fairly significant. These offenses should equate to jail time and automatic firing, but... they'd probably just join ICE. 🙄🤦

'Crime 101' on Amazon is way better than it needed to be.

1/ NYT out with a huge piece on the decision to go to war. It's much as we thought: Bibi sold Trump a rosy scenario that he heard over the mild to moderate warnings that it was BS but the details are so...appalling/demoralizing. Vance clearly a source: GIFT LINK 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

If you've not been terrified of a nuclear war the entire time Trump's been in office, you haven't been paying attention. No one is real to Donald Trump except for Donald Trump.

Gen Z Republican men are obsessed with "gooning," slang for obsessive masturbation. Why the fixation? Well, because their misogyny is poisoning their ability to date like normal people. Gooning isn't about fun. It's got an undercurrent of anger. www.salon.com/2026/03/20/f...
