is leaving the Washington Post. Time to see how much it will cost to get the comics elsewhere vs a Post sub. Dammit, I wish there was a viable replacement for the old Metro section. Iâve already stopped reading the op-eds.

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover⊠they havenât.

I don't like the "[Blank] Derangement Syndrome" phrasing, but some of you all seem to have let your contempt for Musk and Bezos pretzel yourselves into posting some utterly ridiculous things about what SpaceX and Blue Origin have accomplished. Please stop beclowning yourselves like that.

Analysis | Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll
What the jury found Donald Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was in fact rape, as commonly understood, even if it didn't fit New York law's narrow definition, says Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.

"At the moment, the United States is negotiating with a regime that President Trump claimed we had already changed, to open a strait that was supposed to be open last month, and to end a nuclear program that we said we had obliterated." No, things are not going well. Here's why:

"Why do we have to win independent voters when Paxton is obviously bad" is why you lose. How many times do you have to tap the strategy sign: Paxton's voters will show up. What works for Paxton will not work for you. Paxton relies on a cult, you need a coalition. Also: Life isn't fair.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman â an admitted child rapist â back on our streets after Paxtonâs rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

What this actually says is that majority Hispanic counties backed Paxton by slightly more than majority White ones. Which doesnât necessarily mean Hispanics preferred Paxton; it means people who live around more Hispanic people did.

âInflation, tariffs, meatpackersâ pricing, and a national cattle herd at its smallest in 75 years because of drought, labor shortages, high operational costs and dwindling ranch land have all played a part. â At least three of those things caused by Trump.

Heads-up that I'm blocking anybody who complains about a paywall. Paywalls suck, writers hate them as much as you do, but you gotta live in reality with the rest of us. Journalism is a skeleton of its former self. If readers refuse to pay for the work, bingo, there's less writing worth reading.

Honestly I donât think this is hyperbole â after reading the Popeâs 83-page manifesto on AI, Iâm confident this pope is far more progressive and thoughtful about technology than 99% of Bluesky users. The pope is not aligned w/ the militant anti-AI wing of Bluesky or the militant pro-AI wing of X.
