That last one is basically LoomCoin.

FWIW: "Originalists claim to look for “original public meaning”... but [here we have something completely different:] an interpretive chain that reveals a heretofore hidden meaning—a meaning that eluded almost everyone, including the people who drafted the document, until the 1970s."

I quite like immigration.

The clown show that passes as immigration policy these days. Impulsive illegal policy change motivated by racism--> immediate backlash + furious lobbying by constituent parties --> piecemeal carve outs = utter confusion and fear.

Student visas dropped to a four year low. Trump also cuts spending on research by hundreds of billions on college campuses. This is how you end American exceptionalism. I gifted this article so you can read it www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Happy birthday to Joan Jett, an essential raver who made '80s pop sharper and snottier. An uncommonly good covers artist too. humanizingthevacuum.wordpress.com/2018/02/10/i...

Sometimes enormously talented people are complete jerks in their personal or professional lives. It brings me no pleasure to report this groundbreaking information.

Absolutely critical for putting the events of the last 48 hours into context

Not to be contrary but I think that's the same America or at least the same Disney. They were eager to jump in the direction they thought power was going 2019-23 in order to make profit and now in 2025 they think power is going the other way, they jump the other way. There was never a spine there.

Fun experiment: Tinder profiles for historical figure. Who gets the most swipes. Obvs, young Stalin probably the most for hotness. But, others? I think Tsar Nicholas II, is kind of a hottie, but with overly sculpted Portland facial hair. (The dream of the 90s is still alive!)

Hi, I’m Joel Willett 👋 I'm a former CIA officer. Tulsi Gabbard revoked my security clearance once I was mentioned as a potential candidate. The Trump machine wants to shut me up, but I won't. Here's what you can do to boost our momentum on launch day. ✔️FOLLOW ✔️DONATE (link in bio) ✔️PASS IT ON.

If you want to understand this Trump administration's rampant corruption ... you have to go back to Eric Adams, and how they made the case against him disappear. I got a bunch of new details on this deep dive for @nytimes.com ... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

Prepping.

Tech companies are scrambling to contact their visa-holding employees who happen to be overseas today amid Trump’s sudden policy change. That may mean getting them to the closest US soil, like Guam or Hawaii, or to a place like Abu Dhabi that has an immigration facility. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

If NBC sticks with Purdue-Notre Dame instead of shifting to Illinois-Indiana, there will be trouble.

Privately Patel and Bongos and Miller and Vance are berating the suspect's father for getting his son to turn himself in before they could go full Haitian on him and his connections. Well glad the country got plunged into self-flagellating auto-fascism for THAT.

I think it goes in multiple ways: Some voters read him as far more moderate than he is. But his brand/rhetorical speech mostly just allows people to read him in some also read him as one of them (moderate, Christian nationalist, white supremacist, good for business, or whatever one wants)

Besides the effects on the tech industry, right now there are H-1B holders—people—who built a life in the US. If they are traveling, they have 17 hours to get back to the US, or the life they built will be shattered and taken from them. Can you imagine constantly living with this uncertainty?

Thought I had while talking about active and passive voice last week: "I bet Trump uses the passive voice a lot more than Obama. He's a lot less direct in his rhetoric, mostly to allow the listener to arrive at the place he wants them to be on their own."

The refusal to pay attention to the internet as it existed before 2016 is what’s really astonishing about this gambit. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/09/on-c...

The only ppl I have seen push the "woke right" idea are those (Sullivan, TCW, Shadi Hamid) who presented wokeness as the defining threat in American society. Now we are seeing what real repression looks like, they won't admit they were wrong, they will just relabel authoritarianism as wokeness
