Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

When it was published, a lot of religious leaders in my denomination latched onto it as though it were the next “Where Do We Go From Here.” Took months for any critical thought about it to take hold. One of a number of embarrassing episodes from the past decade.

All-timer. Instant classic of the genre. Posting’s version of a Duke-UNC game that goes to triple overtime, with a number one ranking on the line.

You calling me down to the church house cause your Chrysler 300 got stuck by the fishing hole You know where your Chrysler 300 never been stuck at??? THE HOUSE OF THE LORD!!!

One of my fav Onion headlines

White supremacist ideology is certainly a factor in America’s long history of dismissing the notion that their adversaries are capable of strategic thought. Tale as old as time.

This is the entirety of Trumpian foreign policy

Here's a Looney Tunes short that's recently restored and it's an underrated Daffy short from the 40s. I do like Victor Moore being a hunter and the yellow duck who cries then yells when both character offer him for help is really funny too. Cartoon: "Ain't That Ducky" (1945, Friz Freleng)

This is really something …

I still get threats from men I wrote about a decade ago who are angry I covered federal lawsuits against them related to sexual assault allegations. To my personal email, to new work emails. I don’t think readers understand how difficult and laborious it is to get these stories published

Oh goddamn Bruce Springsteen released a cover of Rainy Night in Soho (studio version, he has been doing it live for a while) and it's perfect youtu.be/r_Z3JL42L5Q?...

Whose burner account is this?

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

One of about half a dozen vile responses I’ve seen, to a credible and well sourced report. Some people will take any excuse not to believe a woman.

Besides being...horrifying?, this is the absolute bullseye of the AI grift. Take something that's free and has always been free -- faith -- and put a price tag on it. If you use any of these tools, you are a sucker, and are being suckered, and the people who make this slop are laughing at you.

Butlerian Jihad.

This train is never late …

People celebrate as they watch a live broadcast of the return of the Artemis II crew members to Earth at the San Diego Air and Space Museum in California

This is delightful!

Concerning the longtime rumors around Swalwell, I am reposting here with permission a FB post last time from longtime organizer Michael Trujillo. This history goes way beyond what is reported publicly.

Some of the replies … God almighty.

Begging your political opponents to come out and protest a war that even its most enthusiastic backers now desperately want out of, presumably for another round of doxxings, beatings, jail and deportation for old time's sake...

This is a reasonable expectation too. My suspicion is that Schumer still harbors a fantasy of a political atmosphere where Ds and Rs like each other, make deals, etc. *That’s* the magical thinking at play here — not the expectation that an opposition party will, you know, actually oppose …

If the Dems score a landslide, the prevailing narrative becomes “it’s time to put the nasty past behind us, unite, work for bipartisan solutions,” and then impeachment dies too, so …

Dammit …

I appreciate this article and agree with it. I do also sympathize with the frustrations around the issue. It would be great if the Senate did its job (and so would safeguard the American people), but that impulse runs counter to nearly every era of the Senate’s existence.

I’m glad we were wrong the 1000 times we announced a MAGA crackup the last 10 years so we can be right this time.

The truest words I ever typed.

I will have such revenges on you both, That all the world shall--I will do such things,-- What they are, yet I know not: but they shall be The terrors of the earth.

“I’m sick of the fact that threats of a nuclear holocaust are now routine because our president is a terrorist who has a bowl of oatmeal for a brain.” www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

@drewmagary.bsky.social writes like he's firing a .50 caliber. One of my favorites for a long time now, he always says what I wanted to say but was too timid to.

Same vibe

The writing here … open the schools please!

News used to be better

JD Vance will never be president, say I, a person who has lived through the past ten years.

Reasons for Lament a poem for April 7, 2026

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

I think its bad to threaten genocidal annihilation even if you don't intend to do it. That's a thing that I think.

When the government agrees not to destroy all human life for no reason for at least two weeks
