what's the opposite of "stupid games stupid prizes"?

I deeply adore this book

Yikes

lmao rare to see someone so easily baited in a congressional hearing, but RFK jr is a sucker

they prefer regular people being dead to themselves being proven wrong in print

I want every conversation about US higher education to include open access institutions like community colleges and regional public universities. We should also find ways to learn from our "laboratories of democracy."

Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.

Hi Wile The first experimental evidence of global warming was woman's work. Eunice Foote

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.

Conservatives *want* the vagary inherent in the law because it makes them, and their police, the arbiter of morality. They don't like the idea of justice being blind. "Of course we won't go after Shakespeare!" they say honestly, and they're correct. They'll decide what drag is "appropriate."

All the Black theory & history of the Black struggle & antiracist work you can possibly read is with the goal of getting you to this simple point.

"Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it" Or till the background is the street you grew up in. Hits home.

Ron DeSantis oversaw what prisoners described as torture at Guantanamo as a military lawyer, which makes him a perfect fit to replace Hegseth if Trump decides to fire him.

Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary. Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary: “I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”

Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.

Just insane slap to the people who so bravely helped us, and then had to flee their country because of a withdrawal Trump agreed to with the Taliban. He is reliably never on the side of human rights

we all know I have no life, so:

Back in 2022, I got a tip that some people associated with a sovereign citizen group called New California were trying to get Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco to investigate voter fraud. Bianco's office told me there was *no* investigation. But these emails said otherwise.

At the time, smoke, but no fire. However, in the past few months, Bianco not only re-opened the investigation, he used evidence from these same groups, fused them with his own "constitutional sheriff" beliefs, and now has possession of ballot boxes that rise as tall as the Empire State Building.

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

NEW: A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that key actions Trump took to delay solar and wind projects across the U.S. were illegal (me for @heatmap.news)

That's what this has all been about. "Correcting diversity." Deportations, concentration camps, murdering protestors, anti-DEI, forcing trans people into hiding, it's all for one reason....

Feel like it should be a bigger story that Howard Lutnick's firm (run by his kids) created a financial product to buy up tariff refund claims at a major discount, and will now be cashing in on the higher costs passed onto consumers.

It should be noted that Bovino is actually describing mass ethnic cleansing, not mass deportations.

Judge Helen Gillmor just told the DOJ exactly where to stick their bogus, preemptive lawsuit. Her brilliant ruling leaves Big Oil's federal shield completely shattered. Here's why this ruling is a massive game-changer... 🌊👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trump-is-l...

Hegseth on dropping the flu vaccine reqt for the military: We will not force you to take it, “because your body, your faith and your convictions are not negotiable.” OH REALLY? Replace ‘flu vaccine’ with ‘abortion’ and we’ll see how ‘negotiable’ my body, faith, and convictions are.

It's not possible to view these kinds of arguments, which are coming up repeatedly, separately from the sustained attacks on shared governance. Some state legislatures and rich donors have been extremely vocal about removing faculty from positions where they can affect change at their universities.

Exciting 🤩 new insights into subglacial hydrology of Grímsvötn jökulhlaups (2021/22, Iceland). 💧 Subglacial Floods switch between channel & sheet flow; water ponding along paths drives major ice dynamics and velocity including lifting of ice, altering 3D motion. Amazing work 🇮🇸 #glaciology #glofs

SORKIN: There's a whole number of very large companies, including Apple and Amazon, that have not sought reimbursements yet for the tariffs. From what I understand, part of the reason is they're worried about offending you. TRUMP: I think it's brilliant. They got to know me very well. I'm honored.

I don't *believe* this per se, but there's a long-held conspiracy theory that Alex Jones is long-dead esoteric comedian Bill Hicks, and I'm just gonna say that it makes Jones REALLY mad when you bring it up

Imagine seeing a Grimace hit by a car on the side of the road. For us it’s the stuff of nightmares but for motorists in McDonaldLand it is the grim reality of everyday life

Look out, kid!

Him: What would be your dream job Me: Oh that's easy. Sitting on the back of a motorbike on the Tour de France pushing idiots into the ditch Him: Oh come off it there's no such job Me:

The passive voice is even more wild when you open up the article and it says they suspect he was driving under the influence. What a joke

I study racist politicians from the Jim Crow era and this is on par with anything that John Rankin, Theodore Bilbo, or Cotton Ed Smith ever said in public

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

I love these two Tims, Onion & Heidecker. Sandy Hook is the next town over from me; my kids swam in meets against the older siblings of the murdered kids. Ben, you are the definition of a mensch.
