Taking a social media break for Lent. See you all after Easter.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

John, my vision will come true

okay yes.

everyone in that room is old enough to know that jedi once commanded entire armies, that the force isn't just some wacko superstition. but they also saw how, with order 66, none of that mattered whatsoever. the force? let's see if you can jedi mind trick away a million clone blaster bolts

The Death Star board room scene is low key the funniest scene in cinematic history. It’s a work meeting with an evil samurai wizard everyone else finds mildly annoying and when his manager tells him to stop killing a coworker with his magicka, he has to listen.

Jesus Christ these people are monsters.

This is legitimately shocking censorship by state media

Zeppelins in general need to come back. Trans-Atlantic air-cruises. Cross-country sight-seeing. Etc.

This is a nice move in an interview www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/u...

She hasn’t even announced and the rat fucking begins

how does someone mow down a family of four, blame the car (no issue was found), transfer real estate to Nevada LLCs to avoid compensating the victims' families, and then walk away with nothing more than probation?

I really don’t get the faux concern around undocumented people voting. I was a (documented) immigrant to the USA. At no point did I ever say “maybe I should put all of this at risk and vote illegally”. Why would anyone think anyone would do that?

The Sinaloa Cartel is a more successful polity than Sparta

Dude is quickly climbing the ranks of Most Dangerous Man Alive

This is so spot on

this sequence in the U.S. women’s curling match was pure cinema

As far as the on the court product goes, this is beyond anything the NBA could have ever dreamed of. Absolutely incredible.

Holy shit Kawhi

KAT and Brunson obviously just having a blast playing against each other

Oh my word 👽

This is ... good?

One of my black pill moments was that Biden actually focused on lifting the lowest quartiles up at the expense of the rich and the online left screamed at him about student loan forgiveness.

It's galling to contemplate but I really think you have to admit that Musk buying X was an unqualified victory. It can't be exaggerated just how much prominent journalists, pundits, business type, etc. mistake the vibe on X for "how the country is feeling."

God this court looks like shit

Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

BABABABABABASKETBALL

man ... lying under oath really ought to be a crime, you know?

average european conflict over the past 1000 years is like “[french king] declares war on [french king] over claim to [italian speaking territory] based on their shared great great grandparents. both raise army of peasants consisting of 30 mutually unintelligible dialects

I‘be said this before but “as He died to make men holy let us die to make men free” goes harder than any other line in the history of music, poetry, trash talk. This isn’t “I don’t care if I die too so long as I take you down.” This is “dying while I kill you is a sacrament before God” Lunacy

Ilan Wurman has yet to correct an admitted error in his amicus brief, and has the gall to call other scholars unserious when they alert him to research that he clearly knows nothing about. He doesn’t think it’s unserious, he’s pretending he does because all he can do is pretend at this point.

Jumping on this because I love accent talk. I was always aware I have *an* accent but I thought it was extremely mild and barely noticeable compared to my peers. Then I visited Ireland and within seconds of chatting with some people in a pub they enthusiastically told me I sound like the movies

When Democratic leaders say Republicans will be reasonable and go along with Dems’ common sense proposals, that’s not because they expect the GOP to, but because they’re setting up “Republicans are the unreasonable ones.” Though it’s an open question if bankshots like that fit the political moment.

I don’t think Wurman is acting in good faith here, but even if he is, this is why hard originalism is such a fraught theory of interpretation. It tasks attorneys with doing work they are fundamentally unequipped to do.

Wuthering Heights pretty good

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

BABE WAKE UP GLORB JUST DROPPED www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyoo...

Hi attorneys! Want to not be able to get to sleep tonight? Here's Judge Rakoff (probably the single most well-respected judge in SDNY) saying that the use of AI destroys both attorney-client privilege and work-product privilege.

And it's just downright fuckin weird that you, and you're not alone in this, get a chip on your shoulder about the idea that people are doing politics in the hopes of enjoying the remainder of their lives rather than in an eternal hairshirt exercise.

Botulism, if you’re listening…

DHS is shutting down shortly while the rest of the government remains open bc democrats (so far, things could change) actually handled this situation pretty well, but if you think those facts are going to have any effect on senate Gabe’s poasting, well, I’m afraid you don’t know senate Gabe.

Hahahhahaha yessssss

I wonder similar things about the Zuckerbergs of the world who for some reason think when the bombs drop/calderas blow/etc that they can retreat to their bunkers with security teams to keep the rabble out and not get immediately capped by said security

abolish ice now available with 100% of proceeds going to "stand with minnesota" organizations 💜 shopbanner18.com/products/abo...

it seems very obvious to me that you’re much better off being an extremely rich person in the US than in Russia or China or KSA but apparently some number of rich Americans disagree

I am going to be honest that if you aren’t sure whether or not it would be good if the fascists kill a prominent anti-fascist activist with whom you have developed an inscrutable parasocial antagonism, I really doubt the sincerity of your commitment to leftism or anti-fascism

Wired has generally been pretty good but shit like this makes them lose credible. Senior writers should not be lying to their readers and if this isn’t lying it’s delusion

i cannot believe we're doing Discourse on whiskey fridays with tony dokoupil
