YOOOO,,, Georgia Bulldogs Women’s Tennis,,, y’all should be front and center for your celebration. I gots a spot for your team in our SHE Weekend Parade in Vegas in July. I’ll put y’all front and center to kick off the parade,!!

Went to Korean BBQ for birthday dinner and saw one of my favorite things in the world: inexplicable signage

you can’t even conceive how incredibly indulgent, decadent it felt to get a disk that let you play no fewer than seven upcoming games, each one more miraculous and mind-blowing than the last

Awwwwwwwww snap

impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community

They not only won’t cancel; they’ve handed the entire event over to the fascists. Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth are sitting at CBS’ table. FCC’s Brendan Carr has actually been invited, while he’s trying to take away press freedoms.

After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The oldest known image of Keith Richards, published around 1140 AD ...

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

but “can build” and “are building” are very different things It took 20 years after TV emerged to make I Love Lucy the forms and applications and economic models aren’t immediately visible or obvious at the outset still, it simply isn’t hype to describe the capability change we see accurately

I’ve found Eliot’s VDA framing to be particularly helpful in contextualizing our Democratic Backsliding moment. This is an example.

We all have days like this

The court will never be the same after this breach of confidentiality. But the court was never the same after John Roberts decided to make it a branch of National Conservatism. Burn the Court down and start over. Reconstruction 2.

Most striking to me about these memos is the radically different assessment of the harm imposed by the president not being able to pursue his initiatives. Over the last 15 mos., that harm has in numerous cases been treated as almost per se serious and irreparable. Here, it gets no analysis at all.

Frankly, I think people tell themselves that the country is outraged and traumatized at being left to death and disease because that's less unsettling than the more obvious explanation, which is that people were largely ambivalent about mitigating COVID risk after the pandemic's most acute phase.

ok so this was procedural. one republican voted present and would’ve voted no if it was needed. one democrat has to vote no in order to bring a motion to reconsider. the bill wasn’t going to pass

I also went to law school because I believed The Law could be made to do good, even when politics were bad. I've also come damn near to crying watching that edifice (facade?) come crumbling down. And I hate that this piece is so true. But changing the world means accepting what it is.

Like … all of it?

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

Imagine dedicating your life to incel looksmaxxing so much that you've smashed yourself in the face with a hammer only to have a regular reporter from 60 Minutes Australia completely outmog you. (Clavicular eventually walked off the interview)

Another example of why people who dualize Art and Science confuse me.

Edge-computing architect Rohan Puranik ran circuit simulations on every pedal in Hendrix's signal chain and concludes that he was a systems engineer who iterated fast on a modular analog signal chain.

Not once in this story does @politico.com mention that US factories employ ~89,000 fewer employees than a year ago. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

When this is Popehat’s take, it’s time to drop out of electoral politics while you work out your life decisions.

Greatest. Correction. Ever.

We’re all going to be on an apology tour for the rest of our lives. What’s left of the honor of the country demands it.

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"I don't want to do this, but you made me." - every abuser, ever. We fucking told you so.

The Israeli state was created, lawfully, as the putative Jewish homeland. That's a central part of its character. That's Israel's business and no one else's. As a state, it's subject to the same protections and restrictions of international law as everyone else. That's the world's business.

More succintly: The market can remain irrational longer than *you* can remain solvent. The market cannot remain irrational longer than *it* can remain solvent.

The White House Correspondents Association is planning to "honor" Trump at its dinner three weeks from now. No way. It was egregious before. Now it's obscene.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

whether or not one is forgiven by one's social peers is an arbitrary and contingent factor. one could move mountains to seek forgiveness and it may never be granted. the only thing the wrongdoer really has under their control is the change in their way of life

There was once an enslaved man who stole a Confederate ship and sailed his a bunch of families to Union controlled waters & got everyone free. Then he fought as a soldier in the Union Army. Then he was elected to US House of Representatives. Robert Smalls was born 187 years ago today

The correspondents still want to have a dinner? Don’t invite the White House.

joint staff and service lawyers are going to have to be clear and memorialize their guidance about the war crimes trump is threatening. don’t classify. make it easily public. don’t let principals off the hook.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Happy Bunny 🐰

some of you on here have never teleported to a waffle house and it shows

Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.

Colon Blowe United States, Census, 1950

Someone I don’t really know asked me earlier this week if I’d ever teleported to a Waffle House and my instinctual reaction to the joke was surprisingly hostile. Like I went to the University of Georgia of course I’ve teleported to a goddamn Waffle House

yes. they pay more based on income in taxes for the thing that is then “free” for everyone. this is how public services work

Once again - America will need to account for how many of its allegedly load-bearing civic elites turned out to be stuffed scarecrows the moment their virtue was actually tested. There was never any there there, besides a talent for getting ahead in a particular set of social games.

Christ these fucking people

i ordinarily don’t approve of sephiroth posting from senators but i have every confidence that wyden intends every word

This is so, so well-articulated.
