I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

it’s refreshing to hear honest descriptions of these reprobates from the Democratic elected officials who serve with them

lol does this article really not mention that Clarence Thomas was in house counsel for Monsanto, the Roundup manufacturer?

These people are so fucking boring.

I just want to know if James Carville is going to stop fucking texting me now.

James Talarico: These billionaires and their puppets have the wrong state of mind. Their hearts and their dreams are just not big enough. They have been shrinking Texas for 3 decades now. But that ends in this election. In November, we can make Texas big again.

Land of the free.

museums will have a row of hate symbols: the Nazi swastika, the Confederate flag, and Donald J. Trump's glowering mug

John Adams and the US Senate said that “the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” A guy who drink drinks five gin-and-tonics before noon says the US was meant to be theocracy. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

A smooth criminal.

On the one hand I get what this story is trying to say but on the other hand the NYT can just fuck right off. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/27/u...

Rando Mel Brooks story: A million years ago when my dad was in the movie biz, we went to the commissary at Warner Bros (Maybe 20th C Fox) & Brooks came in. Said: wonder what I’ll have for lunch? Then went to a few tables, tasting what they were eating, kibitzing all the while. Charmed everyone.

I’m with Chris in thinking an Alito retirement announcement next week is more likely than not.

Excellent idea. Maybe the NYT can divert one of the dozen reporters on its Ohio Rural Diner beat to look into this?

So has anyone else noticed this insane series Law360 is running? www.law360.com/articles/173...

Friday’s Justice for Kohen march will begin in Senatobia at 10 a.m., about half a mile from the Senatobia Walmart where a police officer fatally shot the 1-year-old child on June 14.

Measured by where things stood when its reign began, the Roberts Court is the worst SCOTUS on racial justice. Ever. Worse than Taney or Fuller courts.

There was a graph going around a few weeks ago comparing gun deaths in America vs heat deaths in Europe and 1) This per capita graph works better, and 2) highlights to some extent how much of it is people sticking to their guns... or their lack of air con. hannahritchie.substack.com/p/heat-guns-...

Love to catch up with my buddy, the heir to an international manufacturing conglomerate, during my meetings with foreign diplomats.

My friends, if your LinkedIn motto says something like "Nothing is Impossible," the chances of me accepting your invitation to connect are slim to none.

I've made the mistake of listening to a lot of Peter Thiel interviews recently to try to understand his worldview. The guy is an absolute third-rate thinker who contradicts himself every 30 seconds and nobody pushes him on it.

Some thoughts on this week’s Democratic primaries from an Israeli establishment point of view (by me in my INSS capacity) x.com/inssisrael/s...

If you, like me, prefer Wikipedia to Google AI, then you may want to try one of the AI free search websites. Here's one (I'm sure there are others): udm14.com

Republicans on the Hill will never name Mt Rushmore after trump now

“Authenticity is measurable, that’s why I clearly wrote this using AI”

I feel like countries like Venezuela should be more willing to repudiate all their external debt. Yes creditors will shriek, but they can't impose any more consequences than they would for a smaller default. And the political transition makes this a perfect moment for it. www.ft.com/content/b7f2...

When a Jew wins a landslide election in the most Jewish city in the United States, where massive numbers of Jews turned out to reject a terrorist org that lobbies for genocide:

Works for me.

HELLO ACADEMICS INTERESTED IN DISABILITY ACCOMMODATION PLEASE TAKE FIVE MINUTES TO COMPLETE THIS SURVEY. :) It's IRB approved and everything!

RESULT: When Maryland adopted major restrictions on ICE earlier this year (we covered here: boltsmag.org/maryland-new...), just one Democrat in the state House opposed this: Delegate Frank Conaway. Conaway has been ousted by a wide margin in tonight's Democratic primary for HD40.

Really hard to overstate the earthquake of Mamdani going 3-3 tonight. Shows his popularity is transferrable in NYC. Makes people less likely to oppose him, including City Council. Some well known NY Dems are considering retirement over reelection tonight.

we are not “self-hating jews”; we are not antisemites; we are proud jews who also believe in the human rights of palestinians. we have proved those things can and do very much coexist, something that seemed impossible not long ago. we are a constituency and we have a voice.

i’m a jewish NY-10 resident and i’m damn proud of the message we sent.

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

Nobody is vandalizing the Reflecting Pool, and Trump knows it. This is a visible example of his corruption--a no-bid contract to some crony followed by sky-high cost overruns, and shoddy construction to boot. Classic Trump: I didn't fuck up, it was my enemies.

Well, this is a crime.

“The left has abandoned patriotism.” Delaney Hall, today, right before she was hit by a car driven by ICE.

"I thought Democrats cared about the environment?"

the reflecting pool is less green in fallout 3

Called it. Lame duck presidency official.

This paper says hydrogen peroxide control of blue-green algae bloom results in a short-term 9- to 12-fold increase in cyanotoxins in the water, which depending on toxin species can have an oral lethal dose around 5mg/kg body weight www.mdpi.com/2072-6651/6/...

They’re killing the ducks

This failed for Starmer and it will fail for Democrats if they try it on this side of the pond once they regain power. Among other things: (1) mass publics lack well-formed ideological preferences; not being on board w/ the 'progessive' position does not imply support for the right-wing position +

1000% this. A dear friend's kid who was biking in Central Park was hospitalized after he swerved to avoid hitting a woman biking in the wrong direction (she fled the scene after, didn't even pause to see that he had a broken leg). Cyclists who won't follow the most basic rules are a fucking menace

Another good reason never to step foot in Florida again.

Bonus whittle wings 🥰🥰

friends, I have brought you a gift

All of the pretty young trad wives run businesses focused on being a trad wife and tell other young women not to work. All the old trad wives are divorced and homeless, or being abused in their marriages. I wish misery on all these gross grifters including Hannah the Jet Blue daughter in law.
