This should be the moderate position.

you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked

without regard for human life.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends. We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over. We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Elon Musk donated $277 million to Trump so he could steal the federal government’s data, dismantle the nation’s infrastructure, and stop foreign aid from going to nonwhite people. It’s a quid pro quo breathtaking in scope, corruption, and damage, & completely unprecedented in American history.

You don’t understand how much I love this feature

I'm having fun on the Internet

Aye

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.

This is a very funny attempt to do the “you have to be an incredible pitcher to lose 20 decisions in a season” but without, you know, any of the same nuanced meaning.

His charisma and the fact that Trump is the most gullible sucker on earth.

And it has indeed come to pass.

Another thing Erin does, which brings me joy every time I see them, is physical directories, little link books to stories, with story info, one line teasers, and QR code links. They're little books, theyre so neat! (I show them to people like HI DO YOU LIKE TO SEE COOL THINGS)

DEMOCRATIC SENATOR, 57, CLEARLY WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT: mr presidnet tronp the rule of law and our border, TAMARA, 57, POSTAL WORKER: I'm ready to face God, Officers. Are you?

For my sanity I choose not to believe it <long mournful staring silence>

I honestly wonder what the play would be if the White House press corps just... stopped showing up? Like, just report on the things that the admin is publicly saying. What's the point of engaging with this kind of condescending evasion? Like literally, nobody show up to the press room.

My suburb (one of the ones that gets play in Wisconsin every election) can't stop building massive apartment/townhouse developments. They mostly appear to be senior or assisted living facilities which have their own... issues... but still. I'd say the majority of the building is MFH.

These dopes are going to make me keep an air-gapped box running forever on approximately 2019 software, aren't they

It's going to be a bloodbath. It already is.

AHHH! Shoutouts make me feel all wibbly!!! Go discover some Diabolical Stories here: thegrinder.diabolicalplots.com/Market/Stori...!

one thing about this is that in the wake of all of this kirk is basically forgotten. he was barely cold in the ground before his allies — before his *wife* — started scheming over what they could take for themselves. a real life parable.

Another criticism is the standard "emulating award-winning authors" is... odd? Printers and digital images are better at "emulating Rembrandt paintings" than a lot of artists, but it's not exactly creating new Rembrandt paintings of equal value.

Flavors of “Chicago/portland/milwaukee/Urban Center of choice” are war zones. Pure fear fantasies.

Pope Leo XIV today backed the U.S. Roman Catholic bishops' rare statement criticizing the Trump administration's immigration and mass deportation policies and called on immigrants to be treated with "dignity."

Sometimes I think for everyone’s sake (including his? we should have a Stancil posting detox period from time to time.

I understand he's a bully, that many of his followers are doxxers, that you're on Air Force One. But in 2016 I wanted Clinton to turn around at the debate and say "Stop lurking behind me, you fucking creep" and the first journo to say "What the fuck did you call me?" will be a hero forever

I get that it’s a CLE and if it was too short I wouldn’t get my hours. But a CLE on ChatGPT and attorney ethics should be someone saying “just fucking don’t” and then staring at the camera saying “seriously, no” every five minutes for the following hour.

what could go wrong?

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Yeah there was a moment in hype cycle chasing nonsense when you'd get things like "Taco Bell, now on the blockchain!" and that was one of the clearest signs that the bottom was about to fall out. We're damn close.

Pope Leo XIV calls for urgent climate action and says God’s creation is 'crying out' - AP News apnews.com/article/pope...

This, like a solid 50% of Stancil engagement, boils down to “I have very strong feelings about semantics” and I honestly don’t get why everyone is so constantly spun up about it?

US Bishops have responded to attacks by Border Czar Tom Homan: “The bishops of the United States have spoken together and in unity with Pope Leo XIV.”

I love the idea of smugglers dodging our insane tariffs to deliver the means to deliver subversive texts to the masses.

Ben Shapiro love dialogue warning "take a bullet for you babe"

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

The degree of petty disengage in would be as yet unknown by science.

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

it's really wild that entirely organically I've seen this thought come from like dozens of totally independent places. Like everyone on Earth just spontaneously thought and posted this without conferring. It's like the rapturous applause at rock concert. An eruption of shared humanity. Beautiful.

"Shame doesn't exist" is an issue, but I think object permanence is too. People don't have any issue saying X today and Not-X tomorrow. Contradictions, absurd lies, transparent nonsense, "actually its ephebophilic" don't matter to them because they don't believe anyone will remember the past.

experience becoming it's really the best reason for living this one life we have

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

Trump is like a toddler: time he spends asleep is to be prized, not resented. Every minute he sleeps is a minute he is not tantruming or breaking things or smearing his own shit on things.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
