They sure are doing a great job of ensuring the loyalty of the security forces

Humiliation

Plausibly, this should (if it happens) be understood as the death of the federal Constitution Not just, to be clear, a mortal wound: imo that's already happened. The actual death. Such that it should no longer be understood to be in force

sometimes i wonder if the israeli government sits around thinking up ways to make american jews feel totally alienated from israel while simultaneously making our presence in america increasingly fraught and precarious and unsustainable

Wake up babe the Pope just said that Trump isn’t going to heaven

Second most!

the assassination of rabin was the most consequential political assassination since franz ferdinand

I feel pretty confident that if we could time travel bluesky back to the 80s, we’d be saying similar things about the unseriousness of the adult world. A lot of my experience of adulthood has been understanding no one knows anything.

People wildly underestimate just how parochial the Israeli public is

The distinctively American language of politicized white evangelicalism this woman speaks is only about 50 years old. It was still considered a fairly embarrassing element of the GOP coalition in 2012 when it manifested in the form of Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann. Now it's the only note.

I strongly support this delusion

Zelensky, the world's noblest Jewish head of state, in whom we take pride...

Wow. So...having been denied entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, it appears that the Latin Patriarch held services outdoors. At Gethsemane. 10/10 use of symbolism, no notes. www.lpj.org/en/news/medi...

this is a extremely real phenomenon and i'm genuinely completely and utterly baffled by it

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

Average union soldier memoir: "at first I was like I signed up for this war, but is it really worth it? Then I saw the reality of chattel slavery and I had to be physically restrained from slaughtering every white southerner I encountered"

I think it’s unquestionably true that this is what’s happening

i really like the implication that ethiopia is mostly unreached, despite uh, the existence of the ethiopian orthodox church long before Prots existed

I’m not sure about Blexas, but I believe in Blalaska

This but unironically

Did they actually forget that holding open the religious sites was a pretty significant reason for letting them hold the city

This is an explicit rejection of the Status Quo which has stood for nearly 300 years and Israel agreed to abide by in 1949 If Israel can’t/wont do this they are actively provoking religious conflict with the Christians (specifically Catholics here) www.reuters.com/world/middle...

yes, most of what you know about the civil war came from people who weren’t there and had an agenda (shelby foote-esque southern sympathizers). people who were there described it as a jihad against the satanic plantation aristocrats

Lovely that we’ve reached the stage of American conservatism where they are positively cheering the black helicopters that are spying on and intimidating American citizens exercising their rights, but only if the black helicopters are targeting “the wrong type of citizen.”

Wouldn’t just call that damaged…..

Not understanding that Leeroy Jenkins is always an option actually explains a lot

Every top shitty Times article is written by anti-trans crusader Jeremy W Peters.

no. next question. www.wired.com/story/model-...

They started an illegal war of choice during an ideological, racist and sexist purge led by right wing podcasters calling targets on a sieg heiling billionaire’s website, believing their superior genes and brutality would lead to rapid victory and are now facing defeat bsky.app/profile/dunc...

It’s adorable when they try to get in on our politics

Orwell has an entire bit about small landlords being the worst!

Kash Patel created his XVIDEOS attack on January 6th I almost had a heart attack I thought it said 2021

the market believes that larry ellison is holding sam altman's bag

i mean. cmon. this is nuts.

I hate this shit so much. My family rents, and we are also people! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/b...

total Larry Ellison Financial Deatn please

as an outsider looking in, what this looks like to me is unscrupulous partisans leveraging norms of academic collegiality to do hack work, and then getting the vapors when people point out, correctly, that theirs is hack work

I'm glad Zohran has made progressive technocratism palatable to a lot more of the left but like we were here the whole time.

We should all get much angrier at each other over literature takes.

Look it! We’re discussing high culture! Take that slopulists. Now granted I have not read this particular book because judging from the cover, it does not appear to feature almost any gigantic robots or spaceships, maybe not even time travel.

Baw God, King! That's the Houthis' music.

Wait this did this before the market closed to be funny, right?

Sauce: the Middle East is very funny

The thing that's really weird about Mike Johnson is that he runs the house (to the extent that he does run the house) as if he's performing opposition to a Democratic presidency that simply does not exist

HistorianAI in the year 4026: the TransPanic first struck in what was seemingly a “proto-United States,” variably identified in the sources as “the United Kingdom” or “TERF Island,” and from there rapidly transmitted to the editorial staff of the New York Times

GOOD

Haha what the fuck

I really feel like we are at the dawn of an age in which truth, the simple facts of the matter, will be more valuable than ever and also less accessible than ever.

There is a guy in my neighborhood who wears a maga hat to the playground. No one else is wearing political merch. He is trying to tell his neighbors that he is a Priest of Maga. He considers himself empowered by Trump, it’s like apostolic succession for morons.
