Yes we should call them Nazis.

"Adversarial interoperability" is one of those concepts that needs to be enforced a helluva lot more frequently (and viciously) than it actually is.

for any UVA folks that follow me you should circulate this among your networks balkin.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-...

Abolish ICE.

I didn't know until we buried my mother, so probably most people here don't know: Jewish cemeteries strongly recommend that you get insurance for the headstone. Because the cemeteries are so often desecrated, the gravestones smashed.

Weaponized gratitude and also weaponized sympathy, like that time they purged a bunch of academics and tried to kick a late-night comedian off the air for being insufficiently weepy over the death of an ugly little man whose entire career was built on spreading hate.

I have my disagreements with her, but she's 100% right here.

The head of Homeland Security, complaining about a US CITIZEN doing the NFL halftime show. This could lead one to think their (alleged) anger about “illegal aliens” is really just naked racism. Anyway, props to the NFL for its America First policy of getting Americans to sing at halftime.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Abolishing ICE is increasingly the moderate option.

Not just legacy media, but most media in general. A lot of people need to be kicked out of journalism for enabling this shit, and anyone who got rich off it needs to lose their wealth in the process.

This is a perfect summary for majority of the replies to this post.

Whole lotta blockable fucking shitheads in the replies to this one, if you feel like putting in the labor.

God, I miss the heyday of WMATA tracking websites.

A real problem is that "deplorable" isn't insulting enough. It has too many soft sounds, too many syllables, too much sophistication. It can be turned into a badge of honor too easily. They lost their shit at "weird" for a reason.

Frauds hate the real deal

I support this and I will also note that it is increasingly the moderate, restrained position.

fuck ice airing commercials during dynamite, let em know: help.hbomax.com/us/Feedback/ tbsnetwork.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/req...

THE BOOP RETURNS

Greenblatt really did shred the ADL's reputation for nothing, huh.

Just gonna keep tapping the sign* *𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

people who want censorship-but-only-a-little always think the stuff that theyre horny for is on the Good and Moral side of the line and the stuff they think is disgusting is on the Bad and Degenerate side of the line thats such a crazy coincidence haha

OMG this William G. Young opinion that just dropped (12:30pm) in AAUP v. Rubio. It begins with a postcard sent to Chambers and Young's reply card: "Trump has pardons and tanks, what do you have?" WGY: "We the People of the United States — you and me — have our magnificent Constitution"

As I've said before: I fully expect the US military to collapse within the next year or two, and I'm gonna be surprised if it doesn't.

A good-ish sign, even if I expect most of them to get purged and replaced with idiots by year's end.

And here I was thinking our big suicidal quagmire would be Mexico.

If I ever gain any real power in this world, I'm going to use it to destroy Copilot. I want this goddamn thing off my Word. Probably gonna have to bite the bullet and blow a couple hundred on Office 2024 just to get rid of this stupid drek.

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Shutting down the government will harm people, maybe even kill them. Acquiescence to the demands of the fascists will doom us all (and still kill many of those people).

“Out of the three mass shootings TODAY” is one of the most tragic uniquely-American sentences out there. Most developed countries average zero per year. We have single days where you have to ask “which” when someone talks about a mass shooting.

The agony of noticing you used the wrong number mere seconds after you hit the Post button. (Should be 5.)

I should be doing work or writing, but I got writer's block and restless nerd energy. Know what that means? I'ma do #SeptemberWorldbuilders this afternoon. All of it. The whole goddamn thing. Feel free to mute this thread if that's not your jam. (Gonna use Morthir for this one. Fantasy time.)

I think a core, under-realized dispute between private business and government is that business naturally consolidates towards monopolies and oligopolies but government functions best when it remains diffuse for most things. Which is why running government like a business is gobshit nonsense.

Hint fucking hint to the US military.

Okay in light of “fuck you the Specialest Boy doesn’t have to spend money” I’m moving my marker for the shutdown to literally the only thing that should make Dems budge at all is firing people in the admin, because no other concession is even theoretically possible now.

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

Disbanding ICE and prosecuting everyone who led and worked for it is, in fact, the moderate position.

The current Supreme Court has unilaterally rearchitected our entire system of Government, and done so to favor despotism bsky.app/profile/saga...

The thin staffing is also a hilariously direct consequence of Republicans gutting the Federal government for decades. We might make it out of this specifically because these idiots handicapped themselves.

...when did Ezra Klein start looking like a beardier, more bug-eyed Jordan Peterson. It tracks, don't get me wrong, but...

There's a powerful disconnect between Charles James Kirk, the human being, and Charlie Kirk, the posthumous media construct that wears his stage name. Charles was a sadistic piece of shit who made his living by being as awful as possible. Charlie is an idyllic martyr who can be adjusted...

Honestly, in a situation like this, the default assumption should be that Vought plans on firing those people anyway. Call the bluff. Worst case, he can't use it again.

We have been experiencing mass arbitrary arrests for months in this country. The main difference with today's EO, is that mass arbitrary arrests are also going to include people who never believed they'll be subject to mass arbitrary arrests, and told us we're exaggerating.

If they had the capacity to do this, it would be really bad. And they probably will try to do a couple of high profile examples to make you think they *do* have the capacity. But like a lot of stuff, this is a memo designed to get you to voluntarily stop doing stuff they don’t like.

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

So we're probably about to see a purge of military leaders followed by a ton of incompetent flunkies being promoted to replace them and this weekend is just gonna be a fucking decade isn't it.

95% OF COMPANIES SAW NO BENEFIT FROM GENAI DESPITE POURING IN $30–40 BILLION, MIT STUDY SAYS

I said for years that the only way to permanently reduce migration to the United States was to destroy the vision that the world had of this country as the land of opportunity. That wasn't a goddam suggestion!

Another win for "Fuck you. Make me."
