Sucks to be the innumerate French poetry major who signed up for topology.

There needs to be a Westworld / Five Nights At Freddy's type horror film about the Macy's parade.

Every AI product feels like the Black Hole Sun music video.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Chuck Schumer working late on a Sunday to ruin my Sunday.

Republicans can't win if the following two conditions hold: *Everybody gets to vote *The voters know what's going on That's why they constantly suppress the vote and poison the information environment.

"Fall-back" is one of the best days of the year.

This was pretty close.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Doctor Who,” or “Transformers.”

If you want to have leverage to get them to do what you want, you have to show up for them in the first place.

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.

Sort of incredible that we live in a world where the vice president of the United States is just spewing the sort of horseshit that literal children are traditionally taught is wrong

JD Vance: "I'm a Christian, guys. Like, SO Christian. The most Christian one here, probably." Also JD Vance: "Do not love your neighbor."

Would be very funny if this did not get dismissed and Johnson and Johnson lawyers got to dive into discovery.

New Chotiner interview dropped and it's off to a great start

I've heard a lot of Platner takes that start with, "Look, I think he's a good guy at heart . . ." and I just don't understand what he could have possibly done so far to earn this much trust.

Imagine the Jacobin article if it were revealed that Mills had "1488" tattooed across her ass.

I did the ICE PT challenge this morning. 15 pushups followed by a 1.5 mile run. The run was much harder. I am almost 40 and have only jogged twice this year, both times back in March. So, yes, an out-of-shape, middle aged man can do this, but I don't recommend it.

But we say NO to kings.

Scott Bessant looks exactly like Brad from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Republicans: "Don't call us Nazis!" Also Republicans: "We are Nazis."

Dear Professor, My son . . .

They just refused to lose.

This guy is great.

The kid who ran them over posted public YouTube videos of himself harassing one of the victims, and he is quoted from these videos generally talking like a psycho, and the NYT got scooped on this by New Jersey 101.5.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

This is the energy.

Reminder: the point of the massive, lavishly funded, decades-long campaign by the right to take over media was not to make the public love Republicans, it was to make the public hate Democrats, so that no matter what Republicans did, it would be forgiven. They know: it won't matter ...

Been thinking about this a little more, and increasingly I think the skeleton key for understanding that Ezra Klein interview is the part at the beginning where he says he's scared of Trump.

The Very Concerned People who have been very concerned about political violence for the past couple weeks seem not to be very concerned about this incident where a MAGA guy ran his pickup into an LDS Church, opened fire on the building, and burned it down, killing 4 and wounding 8.

In this interview, Ezra Klein says that the problem with the left--and why they are losing ground politically--is cancel culture. The left is too censorious. The left is not winning winnable voters because they refuse to engage with them. This is silly. 3 reasons below.

Today, we took my in laws into Chicago. My father in law is a lifelong Midwesterner, but he'd never been. He couldn't stop raving about how vibrant it was. He's not even a right winger, he just had no idea what Chicago is really like. Cities are nice, actually!

I went to the ICE facility Trump claims is "under siege" by antifascists and "other domestic terrorists." There were four protesters there, one a thoughtful young man in a chicken costume www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Lol

Pretty interesting thread.

Bluesky, please respond, I need your wisdom here: Is former Trump vassel Michael Cohen a bro, or is he faking it? I have been writing him off for years as an opportunist who is only publicly anti-Trump because it's a brand he can profit from. But sometimes I think he might be for real?

Leviticus: When is it heresy to obey, and when is it heresy not to obey? After consulting with American Fundamentalist Christianity, I have put together the following guide. Red = only heretics obey Yellow= obey non-literally; apply hermeneutics Green = obey literally; do not apply hermeneutics 🧵

No matter how bad you think people are at numbers, they are worse at numbers than that.

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

Post a movie you like with a terrible Rotten Tomatoes score.

We aren't going to win over the dominance politics people with performative submission.

Darkly funny that he specifies that the lethal injection is "involuntary." Voluntary lethal injection exists (kinda), but it's a policy these people generally abhor.

My wife was volunteering at the local Dems office this week and they got a phone call from a local Trumper who wanted to complain to somebody about how "the left" or "you guys" are spouting violent lunatic rhetoric. She ended up listening to him and doing polite emotional labor for about 20 mins ...

It would be legitimately kinda cool if Bill Clinton himself demanded that they release all the Epstein dirt. But he won't demand this because he is not cool.

Confirmation that Trump did snitch on Epstein.

That's a doodle of a kid's naked body.
