Remember after the Epstein birthday card when their big defense was, “Trump doesn’t draw things?”

** Humanitarianism: A Very Short Introduction ** is officially published today! Happy to have this new little book out in the world. For more info: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

The Athletic | Tiger Woods was arrested for a DUI at 1 o'clock in the afternoon after flipping his SUV. Could he be a future candidate for Secretary of War?

I wonder what it's like to lie in public like this.

The “wine moms” in my neighborhood have tens of thousands of hours of PTO, meal drives, bake sales and you name it under their hands. These are professional organizers who can rally up entire communities in like 3 text messages. I cant understand why people underestimate them.

He is as serious as a heart attack when he discusses the gratification he gets by surrounding himself with “losers.” He is cogent and explains his reasoning with far more care than he is capable of about any issue relating to his day job as President of the United States.

Not a news story

What an incredibly brave and selfless stance for a 62-year-old former actor to make.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Establishment Dems fear Trump that's how you know he's on the right track.

My dislike of Hasan Piker has nothing to do with some sort of lazy “back to the center” mentality. I do not think he’s substantively or even temperamentally good for politics. He has a long record of bad and irresponsible behavior.

I simply do not like the guy who says my friends should accept the boot on their necks because opposing it would advance American interests

That’s a hard unfollow from me folks

Piker posted a revolting livestream in which he said of underage girls: “old enough to count, old enough to mount.” Seems like “progressives” are either in agreement or just don’t care. I have no desire to be in coalition with them. They’d be more comfortable with groypers.

if nothing else, there is something to be said for spending time outside in the sun with thousands of people who share your anger at the state of things

All of these progressives trying to mainstream Hasan Piker in order to boost the Democrats are ifnore that Piker’s entire identity and business model in undercutting the Democrats no matter what.

Quite a trio of virtue boys

Some bits of Schelling that seem relevant to the Iran War: "Short of universal brain surgery, nothing can erase the memory of weapons and how to build them." Also: "If we manage to destroy the opposing government's control over its own armed forces, we may reduce their military effectiveness./

“It is necessary for an invaded people to be crushed by an imperialist oppressor so that the global hegemon’s war of choice goes better. I am very left wing.”

The fact that Planter is cosplaying as working class despite so clearly having access to 2-3 networks within elite national publishing is such vivid gaslighting

If you’ll recall, the election was actually very close. Trump won with a narrow 1.5-point margin in the popular vote. And yet, the idea that America had experienced a political “earthquake” that demanded far-reaching interpretations became gospel almost immediately.

There was also a gendered dimension to the critique – a distinctly sexist dismissiveness towards “wine moms” as the backbone of the opposition to Trump: Their political activism is still routinely derided as “cringe,” as a form of liberal hysteria, as fundamentally unserious.

On No Kings day, remember: The “Where are the protests?” lament after Trump took power was always based on a (willful) misperception – a myth propagated by a punditry vying for relevance, hellbent on presenting grandiose reckonings rather than careful empirical assessments.

Doesn't make any sense to take official action and draw a bunch of notice to themselves when they functionally already have the straits closed to all the traffic they want it to be closed to.

Now listening to ‘Tolkien and the Great War: The Threshold of Middle Earth’ by @johngarthwriter.bsky.social

HE HAS NEVER BEEN WORKING CLASS

A large rally in opposition to the government has value in and of itself. There's ample literature on this: signaling, agenda-setting, preference falsification. Historical examples abound; '63 march on DC and '68 protests in France were dismissed by many at the time as counterproductive farces. 1/2

This is an enemy of the Constitution bragging about its destruction

Vance to Hegseth: ‘he’s obviously talking about you buddy’

These same people said that a trucker convoy of 50 MAGA losers was influencing the nation's politics, now they're saying 5 million No Kings protesters is "not big enough" 🤔

Wrongly treats politics as nothing but electoral horserace—never right, but how can anyone think that after the last year?—but also, the New York Times has set the bar: If the pro-democracy, anti-Trump coalition gains in the November midterm elections that proves that the No Kings protests mattered.

The last line of this post is so perfect

Why do people take Ryan Grim seriously?

i still don't get how anyone treats Mearsheimer seriously when his offensive realism basically leads to outcomes like this when analyzing the world

From his interview with Chotiner:

Last card in the deck for a scumbag

They’re using drones and ballistic missiles and shit from their uniformed armed forces. Insurgency isn’t when Muslims do a good job.

There’s so much institutional push behind the idea that protest is pointless www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/u...

These articles are all like: "the team is training in the spring, but the World Series isn't until the fall. Why are they doing that?"

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... Brilliant piece by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social about Orban and Fidesz AI-driven disinformation campaign, which includes the bizarre conspiracy that Ukraine is an imminent threat to Hungary. This is the regime that the US right believes is the wave of the future.

Come tf on

Duke and UConn win on the same day, again showing there's no God.

The long pass never works; give it to a guard and let them fly up the court.

I love the performativity of calling timeout down 4 with three seconds left. What do you tell your team, invent the 4-point shot?

Coen mf-ing Carr.

CBS decided to spare us from having to watch Iowa State-Tennessee by starting it at 1030 PM.

Get this Levi's Butt commercial out of my face.

I guess not the main thing but how fucking dumb do you need to be to think that Donald Trump is in charge of permits in Chicago or LA
