same with the American right

the Atlantic's motion to dismiss should insert this picture above the introduction. show don't tell.

Blah blah blah nonsense and trying saving his ass. Also 1. This reads like blame shifting to DOJ to me & 2. Once again failing ‘who was actually president in 2020?’

impressive

Decency, everytime

You want the strait closed to hurt Trump politically, I want the strait closed to score cheap World Cup tickets.

We’re going to back “destroy their civilization” next week, rinse/repeat, no summer vacation.

It would be better if the US government was capable of accurately informing us of the state of negotiations.

The year of the 4500 emperors

the Romans would have loved cocaine but I can't decide if the empire would have fallen 200 years later or lasted 200 years longer as a result

Everyone is always wrong when they talk about AI. This includes me.

Not before the tech justified the investment. We’re still waiting for gadot on LLMs outside of niche areas.

Todd Lyons, the South Boston native who has presided over ICE during the most controversial stretch in its history, will depart at the end of May, leaving “on my own terms,” he told the Globe in an interview.

late stage capitalism is when the Weyland-Yutani bosses instruct you to go sight-seeing on pain of your shares.

Senator Nazi tattoo becoming a stalwart ally of Netanyahu in a few years will also have many an online leftist scratching their heads once again.

I'm a bit surprised to hear some folks claiming Dems will "never" do any of this. Dems have already impeached Trump twice, have made multiple criminal referrals, and are currently setting up a 25A commission. And House Dems have already introduced DOJ independence reforms that are quite good.

The Russian invasion of Donbas will become longer than World War I next month

new polar seltzer can design has turned me into a reactionary archconservative
