It takes a special kind of... commitment to putting process above results for someone to bring a person they can beat blindfolded in a debate and somehow help them eke out a tie from a hopeless position, but @ezraklein.bsky.social is the centrist for the job. via #ebnflow youtu.be/AmkMfWapLmc

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing. They know that the American people do not want a war

“In a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

OK, so... more context makes it weirder, is it a Freudian slip? Who can tell anymore?

Literally everything the Heritage Foundation suggests is nauseating “The state’s proposed “trigger laws,” …are direct challenges to Plyler v. Doe, a narrowly decided 1982 Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to a free K–12 public education regardless of immigration status.”

I'm shocked, that the Bureau of Labor is still allowed to publish job numbers.

I thought this was going to be sharp analysis, then finished and noticed "oh, this is just US politics, the Dem side, transplanted to the UK". Still worth reading, especially if you don't know why that's bad. The centre shrinks via Jude Wanga @lrb.co.uk www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

The obvious problems of talking to a soulless ghoul aside, I have to disagree with the "online leftists", everyone was probably relieved to watch Melania Trump read that prepared speech and secretly thought "this is, morally, an improvement over the alternatives, perhaps not one worth having but..."

Important to keep in mind that a guy like Mullin can be barely competent enough to tie his own shoes but still absolutely full of ugly malice.

The thing about me being a GenAI skeptic is that I am a third gen early adopter. My machine worker grandpa thought computers were the future and had an Apple IIE. I had two Geocities sites. Was on Facebook when it was still Harvard only. You know how hard you have to try to make me hate new tech???

So apparently Blick is trying to muscle in on the art supply distribution and pressure the smaller companies to buy from them at higher prices? I need to look into this but bad Blick! Bad!

I mean... just because they know better doesn't mean they won't fire their human reporters to get caught up in the hype like good Capitalists.

Polymarket has pulled the bet on a nuclear detonation happening in 2026. There were obv concerns that a platform being used by insider traders would not mix well with a bet encouraging the detonation of a nuke. Polymarket didn't respond to request for comment www.404media.co/polymarket-p...

Experts: Legal AI review for live weapons use falls under this article of the supplemental protocol to the Geneva Convention. the Secretary of War Crimes Shitposting: hold my beer lieber.westpoint.edu/legal-review...

know I’m AI-posting a lot today, but holy shit read the linked lawsuit for this. this is probably the worst of these so far, by far (contingent on the brief being accurate, which isn’t guaranteed). the other ones were people with existing ideation not being stopped, this actively pushed him.

Is this the new "it's a day ending in y" meta? Trump threatens to destroy NATO again. He "had a feeling" that didn't care about facts. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

After calling the U.S. State Department hotline with questions about how to get home from Dubai, a Texas resident said that the agent told her to “stop ranting and raving” and hung up. She's one of the thousands of travelers stranded by fighting in the Middle East.

This isn't your father's #Idiocracy of "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" war pretexts, we're diving deep into the #Incompetency of "choose a story and stick with it? that sounds hard". newrepublic.com/post/207384/... #writing #prompt I would have added- by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social but.

At least 175 people, many of them children, were killed in an airstrike Saturday on a girls' elementary school in Iran www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...

The White House just posted a video mixing real footage from the Iran strikes with a killstreak animation from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 x.com/WhiteHouse/s...

Well it's very inspiring to see someone who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty *checks notes* disrespecting one the military they claim to be on the side of.

Not to hijack points away from @taylorlorenz.bsky.social but... This is the guy who decided to stop fighting when the SCOTUS said "stop recounting the votes in Florida". Trusting his opinion on who should set meta rules for algorithms is kind of out-of-touch by itself. youtu.be/1L3A4m5D5bo

OK, to be fair, Trump attacked Iran because someone convinced him it would be a good idea. Even in his addled state, when it's Trump's idea he doesn't change his mind about why he did it 3+ times in 3 days. Same with Venezuela and Cuba, unfortunately.

JD "Trump is America's HItler" Vance getting contradicted by his own admin several times in 3 days is, much like himself, an underwhelming experience. Mr. "I changed my name before I thought I could be famous" will be President if someone manages to 25th Trump, think about that.

we're going to be stuck with consequences for decades, aren't we this is going to be in the documentary

JD VANCE: "There's just no way Trump is gonna about this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no end in sight" TRUMP HOURS LATER: "Wars can be fought 'forever,' and very successfully"

Who is making the US unsafe for visitors?

All the "conservatives" who think Trump gives them a bad name and just want to "be left alone" are finding out that the Fascist Boot cares about being on your neck.

Okay, but this is how innovation works, merging some of the last companies left in the entire industry to make "competition" a thing of the past. This is how Capitalism has always worked. *checks notes* I mean, uhh, the way Capitalism is supposed to work isn't working anymore... because... reasons?

I find it absolutely terrifying that she doesn't know offhand the right answer. She's not afraid of perjuring herself, she just doesn't know if she should say she agrees with the obvious.

DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime? NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?
