Great post: and I'd add, you see little bits of this everywhere. E.g. 90s Saturday AM Sonic the Hedgehog was an eco-terrorist, and Dr. Robotnik was an AI-obsessed oil baron bent on destroying nature with Industry 2020s Sonic just "lives his best life" while Eggman is wacky. There's no message.

Opposing this is seen as the extremist position

Andor Arcane The Good Place Succession Schitt's Creek Sherlock Luther Chernobyl Fleabag The Pitt Derry Girls Watchmen So many shows that peaked high enough to be here, but fell off too hard to make it (GoT, HIMYM, TLoU, Legion, Ted Lasso, The Bear)

I have two daughters and I think about this all the time. I don't know how I will explain it to them when the time comes. bsky.app/profile/carn...

Mom: “Everything peers my age and peers Mama’s age worked for and died for just went up in smoke. Poof. Just like that. And that opens the door to even worse. Haven’t felt like this since I was a little girl.” My mother is almost 80.

Mom: “It almost feels like they just killed Martin Luther King all over again, but metaphorically this time. Almost like its a fun little game for them.”

If the Voting Rights Act is rightly seen by many of us as the real beginning of American democracy, then it is fitting that a Court hell-bent on undoing democratic rule, including granting the president king-like powers, would seek to dismantle it.

Supreme Court Overturns ‘Right v. Wrong’ https://theonion.com/supreme-court-overturns-right-v-wrong-1819573211/

Trump is directing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to prioritize cases of discrimination against white men, but commission staff are "struggling to find complaints with merit"

Wurman, Barnett, and the rest of the clown car frantically trying to come up with a kind of originalism that calls itself "original public meaning" but defines public to only include ex-confederates

I can't keep up with these answers lol.

Might live-skeet the Future of Safety and Justice Mayoral forum, of which my org is a sponsor. Several hundred in the audience. Candidates present are Yaida Ford, Gary Goodweather, Rhonda Hamilton, Ernest Johnson, Janeese Lewis George, Vincent Orange, and Rini Sampath. Kenyan McDuffie is not here.

Authoritarianism sucks and also it is very stupid www.cnbc.com/2026/04/28/j...

The Iranian schoolgirl, the cancer patient whose clinical trial was cancelled, the African AIDS patient who can't get treatment anymore — none of these are "real" to our media elites. Can't imagine themselves in that situation or visualize it. But "panic at the fancy gala!" on the other hand,

wishing a happy "please don't let 'skeets' stick" day to those who celebrate

Oh so weird you mean this is all about animus wowwwww

Emily Fox was absolutely magnificent. Job's only half done, though.

Seems reasonable, think about everything that the attendees needed to deliberately ignore in order to show up in the first place

Feels like the Hawks could have been out of sight if they could've made their layups.

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

I really long for the time when these folks can pass away and we can focus on mourning them properly instead of thinking about how he was running for re-election.

Fascinating thread.

I purchased something from Canada online last night and just now got a call from them explaining that I'd need to provide a credit card authorization for a 20% tariff. And here I was told that Canada was going to pay the tariffs.

So much of the next two decades is going to be about propping up fossil fuel rent-seeking projects in the US while the rest of the world eats our lunch in the transition to a greener economy.

Having one AI hallucination in a work is kind of like having one human finger in your chili. Even if you take it out, the existence of it is evidence that you're doing the entire process wrong.

DC statehood yesterday

listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"

sucks that it’s come to this, but if congressional Republicans wanted to put up a national gerrymandering ban or multi member districts etc, it would pass *for sure*. until then fight fire with fire

You know the Supreme Court be playing fast and loose with the shadow docket but I'm telling you, qualified immunity cases? Some of the fastest and loosest Let a lower court spell out why cops should stand trial, & the Supreme Court lifts it without explanation ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/smith...

A remarkable reinvention from the leaky Trae Young era that lived and died by whether he could do 30-10 every night into a top-5 defensive team in the league with three point snipers scattered around the court.

Vladeck, aflame: “Roberts didn’t change his mind sometime between 2016 and 2025; he’s just being a hypocrite. It’s irreparable harm for Republican presidents; just not Democrats”

“a pretty powerful rejoinder to those who have insisted that the Court’s internal debates in these [shadow docket] cases are rigorous and deeply substantive.”

Judges can scold lawyers or they can issue opinions finding that agents are not engaged in actions necessary to performing a legitimate federal function, clearing the way for state criminal prosecutions. More should consider (b).

If anyone wants to know how I'm feeling about the game I've already assembled a piece of furniture this morning. #coyg

Starting to become increasingly clear that rejection of Palantir needs to be a litmus test for anyone who wants to lead a local law enforcement agency. Start calling your Mayors, City Councils, and City Managers.

Every time a Democrat mentions how to talk to "ordinary people" they mean "how I was told to talk by a handful of weirdo consultants in DC with gross fixations on throwing certain groups under the bus and who would not last a day in an ordinary job interacting with ordinary people."

With 20 new agreements added to ICE's spreadsheet today, the 287(g) program now has 1,697 active agreements with 1,432 local and state law enforcement agencies in 39 US states, Guam, & CNMI. A quick rundown of the numbers w/ visuals from my interactive report ⤵️ datastudio.google.com/s/nB6kNkf0NME

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

I also do wonder whether higher starting prices have anything to do with this. A 64% increase from $1.00 to $1.64 might hit psychologically different than a 36% increase from $5.00 to $6.80. Humans aren't great at statistics.

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

There really is nothing that a Yale Law School degree doesn't make you an expert in.
