1️⃣ He didn't say that. 2️⃣ He said it, but you misunderstood him. 3️⃣ He said what you understood, but he was just trolling. 4️⃣ He was serious but he's just negotiating, not going to do it. 5️⃣ He's going to do it for grand strategy reasons I've invented. 6️⃣ Look what you liberals made him do.

Today in "How is this not a Star Wars name?" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bum_Farto

Breaking NYT: The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter. The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status. That is a war crime called "perfidy."

There we go. That there’s a headline.

Definitely worth a listen: interview with @profsaunders.bsky.social on Venezuela

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!

The most telling Bari Weiss incident came when "The Free Press" excused George Floyd's murder, @radleybalko.bsky.social highlighted factual errors, and Weiss's reaction was not to make corrections, but to invite Balko on a podcast. There is no truth, there are no standards, there is only content.

I’d love this to get the sort of swift bipartisan condemnation that occurred after Sarah Sanders was refused service at a restaurant

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

more confirmation that lurking clearly behind this idea of the “heritage american” is a straightforward contempt for the actual history and tradition of this country, such that vermeule has to hallucinate a framework to justify his desire to jettison the clear meaning of the 14th amendment

This piece is a great illustration of how the long-term effect of Trump’s destruction of US institutions won’t be felt in a dramatic market collapse, but rather in permanently worse economic conditions, and lower prosperity. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... So long, American exceptionalism

Kind of wild how the take that some of Trump's supporters were "deplorable" was some huge scandal, but regularly screaming about "radical left scum" is just a thing he'll say with no media backlash.

“ The daughter of a well known conservative operative , whose paper did not answer the topic at hand and had a carefully planned media campaign , had a trans instructor fired for grading a paper according to the agreed upon rubric”

The people who profited most from the cancel culture/free speech panic were less interested in actual freedom of speech than establishing their own control over public discourse. You don't even have to take my word for it. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

And near-certain disaster can lead to costly, wildly destructive attempts to avert it. Eh, @heingoemans.bsky.social?

The unfolding Bari Weiss scandal is yet another example that we’re living through the Golden Age of people who don’t know shit trying and failing to do things that require people to know shit.

Incompetent courtiers being put in charge of key technical positions and then totally botching them was a recurring feature and major weakness of historical absolute monarchies and authoritarian regimes. Anyway, Bari Weiss,

Look, it’s fine to admit you’re just selling commodities to make a profit. Just have the courage of your convictions & stop pretending what you’re doing is “liberal arts education.” And, for the love of G-d, stop lying about the power of faculty in governance & how romantic they are about society.

Mark Ames uses the opportunity of the 1 year anniversary of the overthrow of Assad to lie about chemical weapons in Syria, so at least he's consistent. The OPCW is still working in Syria, has identified 100 sites of interest, and found signs of nerve agents press.un.org/en/2025/sc16...

They embrace the plebiscitary president and then when someone criticizes, say, gerrymandering or overaggressive judicial review of Congress, it's all "it's a republic, not a democracy."

Great thread on why hepatitis B is such an issue and why the vaccine at birth was SO important.
