An NSC career staffer patiently explaining to Trump for a third time why he can't just appoint Mamdani

Denver, famously a city that is not full of pollution and on the brink of a water crisis and also makes you want to kill yourself. Scoreboard btw

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

The differences are aesthetic (more tattoos, cursing, Mar-a-Lago face, etc) and institutional (don't follow the Constitution). The one difference in the actual policy agenda is internal mass deportations. Otherwise it's basically Gingrichism.

Think I’m gonna start a DTS reaction thread here. Starting on ep 4 bc I have no responsibility to you people

Underrated just how much the US and Israel have been desecrating the very idea of diplomatic engagement by doing these obvious bait and switches. This is the third time now that negotiations were used as cover to prepare for a war already decided. The lesson is to never speak to the US.

Republicans in Congress have wanted to bomb Iran their whole lives, but don’t want voting for it on their record, so they think this is great. That’s why they’re not saying anything.

Justus Virtanen connects with Juho Killström for the first score of the season. UTU is up 27-0 at halftime as Aalto has struggled to move the ball.

Charlotte because she had the most moving story arc to me, and also because I know she’ll make fierce love to an ugly man

55° in Chicago tonight. Stogie and Mingus time

Fuck a Jersey. Where can I buy a Ferrari driving suit

Starting the nascar Netflix show while I wait for dinner to finish so I can start the new season of DTS and lemme tell ya- the difference between how Europeans and Americans act on camera is very funny

Legendary crashout from the Donald today. Might rank top 5

Wait, Britain has politics as well?? Christ, when will it end

Day 1 of woke 2 presidency every edtech ceo sent to the mines

www.maptap.gg February 27 100🎯 97🔥 91👑 97🔥 100🎯 Final score: 970

God this movie is so good. Probably one of the best biopics of this century #respectfully

Kevin Stitt is the epitome of a certain kind of Oklahoman: card carrying tribal member who also hates the Tribes (plural, as a sociopolitical force in the state)

Woke 2 will nationalize Paramount-WB, fold it into PBS and NPR and give us a proper independent national broadcaster

Maestro was a such a good movie man. Cooper just got shafted by a great year in all his nominated categories

A lot of people quoting commenting etc. Telling us about their vacation experiences. Things were nice because you were on vacation! Not necessarily because you were in another country

Pratto and Mozzicato come to mind. 2023’s finest prospects you will never be forgotten

The cloud kitchen grifted me

Reading about the Dutch manure issue

Hoylman-Sigal has updated his post to clarify that while DHS agents clearly deceived people to gain entrance to Columbia University housing to kidnap a student it's not established yet they specifically impersonated NYPD x.com/bradhoylman/...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT

But he was catholic!

They moved the wrong team out of California

When I wrote about Great Expectations, I thought the novel might suggest a political difference between shame and contempt. Where contempt seems to rely on hierarchy, shame may be democratizing. You see something shameful and you feel shame. And if shame spreads, it can push us to consequences

Seeing braze break containment from my job and onto my tl

Starting to think the private sector working with the government is not yielding positive results

This first sentence is kind of the ideological key to this whole argument. Most agree that assembling an algorithm that does matmul A Lot does not yield consciousness, but to a lot of the Founder People that’s all consciousness is, because they’re all in on the EA/“rationalist” idea/cult/whatever.

I agree with Pat Riley but not because of so called “professionalism” and moreso “aura farming”

Unstated in this piece is that Mr Clean is retiring in lieu of facing a disciplinary hearing for firing his service weapon during a fight at a high school basketball game that he was refereeing

Eschaton chapter

It's not just the BBC, the major US outlets are also incorrigibly dedicated to normalising Trump by downplaying his blatant lies (aka "exaggerations"), anti-democratic rhetoric and cognitive unravelling. It's a giant systemic failure to tell the truth about him and there's no desire to fix it

It seems like a lot of people still don't know that he admitted to his lawyer that he committed sexual assault. We know this because his lawyer was hacked, so it wouldn't be admissible as evidence in court, but we still do know that he told his lawyer he did it.

Softball friends, I heard from Marita Hynes today. There's apparently a site out there that reported her death. The former OU coach and admin most certainly isn't. We chatted, and she wants folks to know she's doing just fine.

Lying >>>

oh is a statesball on

Seeing too many posts about not watching the sotu and not hearing about things people are doing rn instead. I’m reading a book and listening to Mahler 3 from my Bernstein collection. Goal is to listen to all 9.2 of his symphonies this year with intent

Whatever the o/u is for speech length tonight, hammer the over

My personal theory is that it's mostly a proxy issue for generational warfare against their interns and grandchildren.

Tony Gonzalez? The former NFL tight end?

1.) I feel like I’m going insane seeing the first season with character development being (lightly) criticized for said development 2.) people have been dying for Epstein takes on Whitney but it’s recency bias. What they’re doing is drawing from the Wirecard scandal. Much more interesting imo!

instantly assumed this was a kaiju situation

This is the singular legacy of the Biden administration, the failing that preceeded all subsequent failings. What good there was (and there was real tangible good!) will have to be excavated from a legacy of failing while in power to punish the plotters and beneficiares of an attempted coup.
