@brianlauber.bsky.social you will enjoy this app I made for our local homegrown music festival that recently concluded here in Duluth. You helped set me on this path, although Ruby's no longer the hotness... homegrown.my

under woke 2 we’re expanding the metro to georgetown just to torment these shitheads

Everyone I'm sorry but I have the best possible monicker for our post-Callais voting rights malaise Jim Crow 2: Electric Boogaloo

Three or more Subarus parked in a row is a coven of Subarus

Academics are, on the whole, dedicated teachers, researchers, and community members who not only prop up regional economies but also care about knowledge and the public good. The demonization of faculty and grad students at all ranks is a travesty.

7 dollar gas. Well, I guess I'll buy an electric car. Oh those are 60 thousand dollars? Well at least electricity is cheap. Oh the government won't build solar panels because it's "Too transgender"? Well at least wages are going up. Oh the idea of jobs is fake now? Well at least everyone is happ

I hate this bad faith James Carville faculty lounge bullshit with the intensity of a thousand suns, & Barack Obama, former law professor & former President, now watching the far right authoritarians lie about & dismantle the very jewel of 🇺🇸 society - our universities - should damn well know better.

Communications is very obviously extremely important but not in isolation. The bigger challenge is that problems are not getting solved. That requires the ability to connect words to actual actions that people can see and feel.

But like, he could just DO that…as a person. In real life. *sigh* Men would really rather invent a “humbler AI” version of themselves, rather than BE BETTER.

Reminder that @joshkovensky.bsky.social and I host a new @talkingpointsmemo.com called The TPM Social Club. We bring on guests from TPM and elsewhere to talk about whatever is interesting It's super dope tbh Catch us wherever you listen to podcasts or on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=v32L...

“They hope everybody folds because the process is the punishment, and that paves the way for them to do it to more people and exert power, especially over the media.” www.mediamatters.org/ms-now-msnbc...

Anyone remember the Purcell doctrine, saying courts shouldn't change electoral districts too close to the election because it might cause confusion? Remember how SCOTUS applied it six months ago to say it was already too late to invalidate the Texas districts? Funny how that didn't happen in Callais

They don’t hate him because he’s annoying, they hate him because people pay more attention to him than they do to them

You can and should block everyone being weird about Will Stancil because they’re all deeply toxic people and it’s just a matter of time before they’re weird about you

it’s very easy to find out what i really believe you just have to ask. if finding out someone’s beliefs is harder than that then maybe you should just assume they’re a shady little opportunist with no principles

DC statehood now

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

"Settle for less" does have a certain ring to it

New war who dis?

Reupping my unpopular opinion that we need to completely revamp the teaching of 🇺🇸 history in K-12 education, such that every course begins with the failure of Reconstruction & works forwards & backwards from there to explain everything else.

theres just no coming back from this without a complete tear down and rebuild of some of our most major institutions

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

Oscar Isaac was in the Criterion Closet and he’s the first guy who I think properly understood that he gets all the movies for free and just overloaded the bag

this is not the future Deidre LaCarte's hampsters danced for.

I know it's too easy to take shots at these people and also WHAT what WHAT what WHAT

Politicians of both parties stop proposing exempting entire classes of people from paying taxes we’re a society & taxes are the price of participation challenge bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Oh look a memo from my old office

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Elon Musk has also disrupted, by which I mean brutally ended, the lives of over a million poor children and adults globally by means of destroying USAID, but who gives a fuck, right?

This is a solid read and framework IMO.

Not fair

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Ever seen a poll result that is basically telling the pollsters themselves to go touch grass?

A lawyer can't knowingly assist a judge or judicial officer in violating their rules of conduct. Both the Justices and Court employees have agreed to keep the Court's internal deliberations in confidence—the only way it can deliberate effectively. 2/

Grogu is Yoda

TEHRAN is sending mixed signals?

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

Palantir has no right to exist and can and should be destroyed.

Healthy accountability is triggered by evidence, points upward at power, and happens in public. Disordered accountability protects insiders and aims its punishment outward. What the document does is argue for the second while calling it the first.

Oh I know them
