We’re defending Western Civilization by kicking Plato and Shakespeare out of university classes.

i think the problem is shallower in some sense: it’s not that your enemies are not Dems, it’s that the voters you need to reach and please are not editors at the new york times or weekend anchors on cnn.

Anyway, I'm really digging this band. The music absolutely kicks ass, & I'm a sucker for Dadaism

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic! Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

Wildly ahistoric and this gets trotted out every single time rich people are scared of working class anger lol

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

Angine de Poitrine looks exactly what you'd imagine an experimental rock band from Quebec looks like (complimentary).

Still one of the funniest bits, ever youtu.be/467Vz6l-3uw?...

I will be very sad when Tim Curry dies.

"And Tim Curry, WHO DID NOT DIE"

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed. We must get rid of Palantir altogether. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

On this day in 2019, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. A lenticular cloud lit-up by a setting sun over the Perito Morena Glacier in Argentina.

You'd think @nytimes.com would have mentioned Anthropic hired a lobbyist close to Trump last week in this article on it landing a White House meeting 🎁🔗

Schumer & Jeffries are probably locked in until after the midterms. After the midterms, (assuming a blue wave 🤞), the most likely media narrative is: "S & J strategies worked! Dems landslide!" The *only* way to have a chance to replace them is to support Dem primary challengers.

Tim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.

Timberwolves...

Goble is literally a cop. He should not be an nba referee

Crazy how it happens when the ex-Miami cop is out there.

These calls are all going Denver's way. This is bullshit

I don’t think we can overcome this whistle.

These refs are bad

This is a really, really, really bad call.

WEAK ASS CALL

Timber nuggets

WOW: Jodi Kantor & Adam Liptak have the memos that describe the origins of SCOTUS shadow docket - the 2016 order halting Obama’s Clean Power Plan @jodikantor.bsky.social @adamliptak.bsky.social @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

.................no Just pack an extra pair or two

The Magic are playing like the team I imagined they would be when I looked at their roster at the start of their season. Good to know they have it in them. Not a great reflection on their coach

If you don't remember the tweet they're referencing...

Anyway, this was the moment when I found out how much of a real one Mamdani is. This dude is very much ONE OF US.

The degree to which NYT is still salty about Mamdani is hilarious And what's even funnier is how their dishonest coverage of him is not working. Like...at all.

Not itemizing deductions to charity is implied by not itemizing deductions at all which is implied by taking the standard deduction. Very funny that they think you're stupid enough to join them in conflating "taking the standard deduction" with "not giving to charity"

If there was one change I could make to American politics it would be to clearly delineate who is well off and has enough money to go on nice vacations from who has enough money that they’re actively using it to fuck you over

When your father is a professor and your mom directed Salaam Bombay

What is this framing my times?!

miles bridges??? a hostile act??? no way!

KEYS TO THE SECOND HALF Orlando Magic - Don't blow a 31-point lead in historically embarrassing fashion Charlotte Hornets - Stop historically embarrassing yourself

The centrist consultant class will make damn sure that a feckless centrist becomes the Democratic nominee because elite impunity keeps them employed and overpaid. "I'm not running on revenge" or "We need to turn the page" under Biden paved the way for the fascist hell unfolding now. Never again.

I'm still mad about this take There will be no accountability if someone like Newsom is the nominee. None. He's buddies with all these fascists who have lined up behind Trump (especially in tech). No one goes to jail if a dogshit centrist is made the nominee. You can't have it both ways

Thomas isn’t going anywhere voluntarily. www.nytimes.com/1993/11/27/u...

Somehow the Hornets are only down 26.

no way that's the first fbi director too drunk to get out of bed in the morning

I think credit and blame go to both him and the players. How much, I'm not sure. I just know they've been incredibly disappointing and that what we're seeing tonight is the team we should have been getting all year.

I can't wait to listen to this. This podcast, btw, is one of the best out there right now. It's a podcast dedicated to how often mayors end up being completely unhinged weirdos. It's sooooo good
