Is the signal a silhouette a guy trying and failing to run 10-minute mile?

Democrats have spent 38 days trying to lower health care costs and reopen the government. Trump and Republicans completely control this process, and instead of looking for solutions they’ve defunded SNAP, interrupted commercial travel, and pursued political vendettas.

I was a 14 year old Catholic growing up in very Catholic Pittsburgh when I encountered my first evangelical (around my age) who asked me my religious background and then told me perfunctorily that I'm going to hell. Probably not one for the youth group, that one, but certainly one for the pulpit.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

They know they’re violating the law, the constitutional order, and, for the sworn in, their oaths.

Bovino instantly violates new court order. About an hour after Ellis entered this injunction, a group of agents, including Bovino, drove away from a SWSide gas station where they were confronted by protestors, and fired a round of pepper balls at a sedan that pulled up alongside their vehicle

In fairness I've had sandwiches that made me illocute

Just a reminder on why font choice matters. 😅

There was never a “vibe shift.” There was a big change in who has governmental power and how they use it. Stop thinking like a culture warrior, drop the idea that “politics is downstream of culture,” and recognize that politics and culture are intertwined. Codeterminarive. Then it makes more sense.

A counterpoint would be that in the particular case at hand, the leaders are explicitly using fascist iconography, explicitly saying things like 'I love Hitler,' touring the world with canned speeches that say everything but 'blood and soil.'

Finnur Dellsén got a nice pic of me on my standard Q&A slide, so now I have a stock reply to any time anyone disagrees with me.

Andrew Cuomo won precincts with over two-thirds car ownership by a large margin, Zohran Mamdani won parts of the city where fewer people own a car

“Speaking in English, and reaching a US audience directly, the pope reiterated the Catholic belief that every Christian will ultimately be judged on how they welcomed "the foreigner". (Luke 10:25-37)

Economist Stephen Moore says he's leaving the Heritage Foundation; he'd been one of its highest profile national figures. At a meeting yesterday legal fellow Amy Swearer called Roberts’s handling of Tuckergate “a master class in cowardice that ran cover for the most unhinged dregs of the far right.”

I heard you can get 12 Trump DoJ lawyers for $5 at a Subway near you.

Trump says the US is collecting "hundreds of trillions of dollars" in tariff revenue. The size of the entire world's economy is around $110 trillion.

How can these two seemingly contradictory things about US politics both be true? 1. Partisanship is calcified. 2. Election outcomes are thermostatic. TURNOUT. It’s not the same people who vote every time. Mobilizing, organizing, educating, party infrastructure—it all matters.

someone wants to be governor of georgia i think

Humans are pretty ingenious and will absolutely figure out the identities of every single one of these goons who broke the law and violated individual rights and they will all be held accountable in the court of law.

"I'm not against shorting as a matter of theory, but I'm just saying pick something that's not doing a noble task."⁣ Ah yes so it's all about morals now, isn't it 😂

You know how the existence of cars and power tools makes it necessary to have “exercise” and “manual crafts” as a deliberately chosen part of a balanced life? We’re probably going to need something like that cognitively, for adults.

I don't think people of colour automatically count as woke, in fact I'd guess that in modern non-pejorative usage more with people are woke than POC. (In the pejorative sense right wingers use them I concede people of colour are all woke, with a hard r so to speak.)

Wrote a short piece arguing that higher ed must help steer AI. TLDR: If we outsource this to tech, we outsource our whole business. But rejectionism is basically stalling. If we want to survive, schools themselves must proactively shape AI for education & research. [1/6, unpaywalled at 5/6] +

Just to emphasize in support of this point: When you focus on content and logic and skills as a ‘humanities’ prof, and it’s hard for students, they absolutely lose their shit. But they will take themselves over hot coals for my good friends in the math and CS depts. and blame themselves for it.

By the by, if you really are fleeing NYC because of Mamdani, do not come to Maine. Fuck off to Florida.

Even Super Jan’s assist for Son’s goal v Burnley was a forward pass, so this has to be true:

Just left the latest hearing in Jim Comey's criminal case. It did not go well for DOJ The magistrate judge scolded them for an "indict first, investigate second" posture and ordered them to turn over reams of material — including all grand jury info — to Comey's team Details TK

Yeah. My policy views are well to the right (in some sense) of a lot of the self-described centrist Democrats, but on the "oppose fascism vs appease fascism" cleavage, I am not at all on their side.

Tuesday wasn’t just about Mamdani. trib.al/Spbzoc0 Erie County, PA, voted overwhelmingly for a Democrat. Virginia's Democratic candidate defeated a 36-year incumbent Republican. Even in Mississippi, Dems broke the supermajority in the state Senate, flipping three seats after 13 years.

Let's get these laws developed and passed in every state, right now. Don't wait until after the fact.

One of the funny, unexpected things I’ve learned from being a student again for this year is students almost all have two things—a massive phone and a massive, armored water bottle—and they fall with a massive thud periodically throughout the lecture. This doesn’t happen in my classes.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

this is genuinely wild

People remain confused about the fact that New York City is a large city within the much larger country of the United States of America and not the country itself.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us: “The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

More like insecurity detail

Go on then, tough guy.
