the International Criminal Court was created to ensure that no one is above the law: no president, no prime minister, no general. It draws from one of the core lessons of the Second World War, as formulated in Nuremberg: Crimes are committed by men, not by abstract entities (states). Think about it

I knew, before writing this article, that today was the first time since 2019 that a Supreme Court Justice testified before Congress I did not know, until writing this article, that at least one justice testified before Congress every year from 1960 to 2011 🤨 ballsandstrikes.org/ethics-accou...

Gonna tell my kids this was Lindsey Graham

“Donald started his eulogy by saying, ‘I was having the greatest year of my business career, and I was sitting having breakfast thinking of how well things were going for me,’” when he learned of his father’s death. “Donald’s eulogy was all about Donald, and everybody in Peale’s church knew it.”

At least Lindsey Graham spent his final years doing what he loved: acting as a spineless sycophant to a man he had openly stated he detested and looked down upon.

Kids today have lost the fine art of bullshitting a 10 page paper from a single Funk & Wagnalls entry or from reading only the CliffsNotes. 🤣

Scoop: NIH is on a mission to enlist one million Americans to share their genetic data to help with health research through a precision medicine program called “All of Us.” What participants don’t know is that at one research site, Palantir stores the data. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Was anyone else disappointed when the X-men 97 needle drop turned out to be Varuca Salt and not "It's Tricky" by Run DMC?

At the very end you can hear someone in the crowd say “ lI’ve been waiting for something like that to happen.”

The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

Also the audacity: the partner blamed a paralegal for not properly cite checking. As if. courts.delaware.gov/opinions/dow...

The Court of Chancery just issued an order to show cause why an entire law firm (RLF, a VERY prestigious Delaware firm) shouldn't be sanctioned for filing a brief with fake AI-generated cites. The Court is holding both the partner who signed the brief and the entire firm responsible.

🚨 HUGE ongoing surge of ICE arrests, with ICE directing 80% of all officers to go out into the field and round people up, aiming to hit 2,000 arrests a day; which would be more than during the Minneapolis surge. This may be why the nun in Texas got briefly picked up. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Stock trades by President. The blatant corruption is just staggering

When I was Ethics Czar, we decided Obama wouldn't even refinance his house to save a few hundred dollars -- & lobbyists couldn't gift us a PENCIL! Trump is monetizing the presidency for BILLIONS The American people won't stand for it I discussed with @andersoncper.bsky.socialon

I had a Fitbit. I stopped using it because of the battery life. My wife got me a Garmin. The battery life was phenomenal. But the crap UI made me quit using it. All I want in all this is a watch that's also a pedometer. That was relatively simple to do in the 90s.

Instead of three movies, "Enola Holmes" should have been two seasons of TV, with some fun mystery-of-the-week padding to add some depth. I doubt MBB or Cavill's people would have agreed to it, but it would serve the story better-- it could have been a classic.

I dunno. I enjoyed Supergirl.

Every American has the right to free speech without fearing intimidation or retaliation. Reports of federal agents tracking down and intimidating a member of our Rochester community after they criticized ICE are deeply disturbing. This cannot continue.

You KNOW that Tom Keane Jr isn't gonna do anything to make it easier for everyday Americans to get medical leave with pay for three-month-long depression treatment. He should do that or he should suffer along with the rest of us who actually work for a living

I’ve done panels on comics journalism — COMICS JOURNALISM — that were better attended than this.

Google is an incredibly honest company. That's why we should believe them when they stopped saying "don't be evil" was their prime directive.

OK but hear me out: Gwendoline Christie and Brigitte Nielsen play cousins from very different walks of life. Together they solve mysteries.

We really need lefties to shut up, get political, and take over the Democratic party, or we're doomed to a fascist hellscape.

It is a police state. Fascism isn't coming. It's here.

The difficult thing for people trying to move public sentiment against cryptocurrency is that most people who aren't invested in crypto don't give a fuck about it one way or another.

Russ Vought — the Project 2025 architect — is rewriting an OMB rule to seize control of $1T+ in federal grants: roads, hospitals, fire departments, food banks, elections. By law, public comments must be read & answered. Yours matters.

The one thing worse than giving your boomer parents tech support is them demanding tech support from you on a device that they know how to use and you don't. My mom needs help on her ipad, and I have never used an ipad or iphone. I'm just required to stand by her as she presses things.

They're pouring money into the election because they know they are deeply unpopular on both sides of the aisle

my favorite part of this in tech has been “yes you have to come back to the office, no you cannot have your own desk” deeply unserious policy

It's zero surprise that the anti-trans campaign gained traction immediately after SCOTUS ruled in favor of same-sex marriage. It just took them a year or two to do all the word-swapping.

Yeah, that’s the America I grew up in. When I say the anti-trans playbook now is the same playbook as they ran in the 90s against gay people, I mean the SAME

Can’t believe a Strait is demanding so much attention during Pride Month. Typical.

My nine year old asked for a Rosetta Stone cake for his birthday

Does anyone else ever wonder if dinosaurs used to wash themselves in pools of water like birds do?

What pieces of art or media do you think are AMAZING but still overrated? Like, stuff that gets too many accolades despite being really, really good? I'll start: Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' "Watchmen" The Beatles' white album The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

Only 16% of Americans believe AI will have a positive impact on society

We should *all* aspire to be the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Rep. Brandon Gill: "We particularly need the left to tone down the rhetoric ... somebody is gonna listen and believe they are the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer and act on that and that's what we're seeing here."

It's not as impressive as an EGOT or anything, but it's pretty cool that Rosie O'Donnell got an Emmy for hosting the Tonys.

What in the Baudrillard is happening with that picture of the White House in front of the White House

Almost too many scoops to count in this story about how badly things are going at Meta's new AI unit. from @peard33.bsky.social and @zoeschiffer.bsky.social

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

So the guy who most white Evangelicals voted for is going to have a violent fistfight on his front yard for his birthday. WHICH IS A SUNDAY. And they're okay with that?

This game looks awesome. It's called "Comic Boom" and the whole idea is that you try to make as much money as you can in a speculative bubble market. I love it as a history lesson, as a game mechanic concept, and as a civics lesson. gadabout.games/drake

WE DON’T NEED A FUCKING TREATMENT WE HAVE A VACCINE THAT IS 97% EFFECTIVE AND COULD ERADICATE THE DISEASE IF WE DIDN’T HAVE ANTIVAX GRIFTERS LEADING US 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/w...

I'm the worst kind of pretentious American. You know how I know? Twice in the last week, I've caught myself thinking that the BBC World Service has way too much sport coverage.
