The insight it must take not to trust the words of a mercenary with a Nazi tattoo. Otherworldly insight. 😂

When you see politicians breathlessly supporting Israel I need you to remember this data and realize they are not courting Jews THEY ARE COURTING CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS WHO HAVE ALL THE MONEY AND POWER

Toxic plume from the fireworks barrage has poisoned the air around DC. Check air quality carefully this morning before going outside. Highest reading is 256 for PM2.5 #freedc #america250

THIS IS A REAL STATISTIC 🤯 Player-tracking data on Sofascore AND Fotmob confirm: Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, 40, has attempted and completed more dribbles at the 2026 World Cup (1) than Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo (0).

average rugby player after receiving literally bone-crunching tackle: bit of a hard one there average football player after being lightly brushed: alack! alack sir, I die! I perish! foully slain! cut down in my youth by the cruel scythes of evil men!

Don't buy the third one unless you find it secondhand, but I won't deny the power of the art even as I despise the artist.

My absence.

Massachusetts is about as pure of a distillation of America as you can get. It's where the country started, it's filled with precious national history, it's a paragon of education and civic engagement, it's filled with the loudest and most irritating people alive.

Who's they, person whom I shall not name but immediately blocked?

The difference between now and the 80s and 90s though is that there's so much less public space and every square inch of it is surveilled by a much larger, trigger happy militarized police force

Everytime I go "man, I'd like to catch a baseball game" I look up Dodgers tickets and go "man, somebody should buy me baseball tickets for my birthday."

This would be "what happens when you are ideologically opposed to hiring competent people."

University: apply for this system-wide grant program, it will pay for a course release! We will release your results in one month. Also University: Uhhh, there were more of you who applied than we thought, we need more time.

Water fountains disappeared from the Longleaf Trace in June as the board that governs it grew concerned about how homeless people were using its facilities. Runners and bikers who use the 44-mile trail fear the decision could have dire consequences in Mississippi's summer heat. buff.ly/pBXSvrI

I bought a pair of Levi's at a thrift store for like $5 and there was a $20 in the front pocket.

I love how the question "when do I get paid?" requires an email chain involving six people and apparently has two different, mutually exclusive answers. Nothing is as difficult as figuring out when the state of California is going to give you money.

It's really hard to convey just how massive the scale of legislation has been to target trans people. From a few dozen pieces of legislation in 2015 to over a thousand in 2025. It started with sports bans in 2020 and now we're here. it was never about sports.

It's terrifying to me that I had to read for quite a while before I became convinced that yes, it's a bit.

Nothing against Michael, but I hear this a lot & I think it misunderstands the professional dynamics of the academy. Wurman et al. are a thing because of the proximity of conservative scholars to government power, not because of some idiosyncratic dysfunction of the legal academy. 1/

one thing i find funny is that the founding generation would likely have been very enthusiastic about, say, muslim immigrants and intensely skeptical of all the catholics

*nodding solemnly with full comprehension* yes, I see. there’s a special kind of kid who can’t play sports or go to the bathroom

Ebay, Amazon, and Etsy are unable to stop the flood of AI-generated seed scams.

Just cited Trump v. Barbara in my current draft and Justice Jackson's concurrence. My only thought is this: citizenship is an incompletely theorized agreement. There's a few things where there's broad consensus, and then others where there isn't.

Justice Thomas’ & Justice Alito’s characterization of English common law as feudal as it was evolving from the seventeenth and into the eighteenth century is absurd and glosses over huge swaths of history. This is the same thing Wurman did. Its scattershot work, in addition to being patently wrong.

If you are born in America, you're an American. If you are born somewhere else but wanna live in America, you are also an American. That's the whole dang point of this country.

And this is why being a political scientist should be a minimum qualification for sitting in a legislature. (Please recognize the facetiousness in this statement and do not piss on the poor on this post.)

Mel Brooks has been around for 40% of the US's existence.

I have literally seen someone argue that opening a library would constitute gentrification, which definitely reads like "The Poors don't need books! It's not like they should be allowed to read!"

"We heard you all demanding free PACER for years, so here's the solution we came up with: more expensive PACER."

Mel Brooks spent the last 40 years entertaining me and that's amazing because 40 years ago he was 60.

The great American state fair being stupid Trump bullshit does legit make me sad, if I’m being honest. A lot of the 250 stuff does. This could have been a really cool and special thing and literally any normal president would have pulled it off.

Kohen Wiley. Say his name. ✊

Baltimore! Paisley would like to help decorate your home.

This is what they said about Jews. This is what they said about Italians. This is what they said about the Irish. He is definitely done being careful; the House Majority Whip has decided to go back to 1920s nativism, full stop.

The American's Lament

from the same people who were telling the left for years "look voting third party is just letting the right win, if you're so mad then just find some Democrats you like who can actually win a primary" and then people did that and now they're furious

Just checking in to see if all those men so concerned about "fairness in sports" have lobbied the NCAA to ensure that travel/facilities/accommodations for female athletes are equal to their male counterparts. 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗 (ᶦᵗ ʷᵃˢ ⁿᵉᵛᵉʳ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ᶠᵃᶦʳⁿᵉˢˢ)

Taught a CLE today where I both got to shill Tufte's work on data viz and slam the crap out of AI. A good day was had.

Graphic design is my passion.

Harrison is a) correct, b) talking to the right people (BSky leftists and other tankies and accelerationists) and c) starting this conversation at a stupid time (when Democratic voters are expressing their will and preferences).

When kitty has finally had it with Florida. 😹

Man, Hillary told y'all ass that court was going to thrash the country and you all laughed and pretended she was worse than Trump while on MSNBC claiming you were in favor of Progressives. Thanks for screwing us and no apology.

I AM ALWAYS SAYING THIS AND HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS !!! Some of y'all even got tired of it lol The trick is not to complain about Dems as something outside yourself, or even to actively fight it as something outside yourself, the trick is to take the wheel Always has been, simple as, etc

Folks can laugh this off at their own peril if they want to. He’s saying this because Republicans see what’s happening on the left and the rise of antisemitism. It doesn’t mean Jewish people will take them up on their offer. It means it’s time to nip the antisemitism bs in the bud…and quickly.

I am *never* going to get over the Court holding that targeted student loan forgiveness was a "major question" that Congress needed to weigh in on, but refusing to intervene to stop the dismantling of the entire cabinet agency overseeing the student loan program.
