the stories they're gonna tell about how far gone trump was mentally, going back to 2024, are gonna be wild. "everyone knew" they'll say.

this point is everything like, large language models are structurally incapable of fact-checking; you have to assume everything they produce is bullshit (which is why they work with code, because code can be bullshit and still run)

U of Minnesota has named a new School of Nursing scholarship after Alex Pretti.

Democratic senators: It's time to draw a line in the sand. A nominee for Attorney General will soon come before you. Make the confirmation process about releasing ALL of the Epstein files (without redactions) and prosecuting the Epstein class. (1/2)

Boooooo

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Get ready, New York. Cardi B will be judging YOUR jingles to help spread the word about universal childcare for 2 year olds — aka 2-K. Submit your song by April 17. Full guidelines at nyc.gov/jingle. (Tag #NYC2KJingle and @nycmayor if you post your jingle on social media.)

Thirty-one years ago today, the New Orleans-based alternative rock band Better than Ezra released its hit single “Good,” marking the first-ever Good Friday, which has now grown into a major holiday celebrated throughout the world.

This is so, so well-articulated.

This is powerful, if true. More of this. Refuse. Stand on principle.

Now any white man promoted has to be considered suspect because he may well have taken the place of a more qualified black or female officer personally removed from the promotion list by Hegseth.

Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.

the two genders

Again you can’t just say “see you at Nuremberg 2.0” and leave it there. How and when, senator?

Reminder that the moon that orbits the Earth has a name in English and that name is the Moon. There are lots of nicknames and names in other languages (Luna, for instance) but technically in English it is just the Moon. The concept of a moon is uncapitalized; our moon is the Moon.

Rooftop solar has come out of nowhere and is now 20% of Puerto Rico's energy generation mix -- more than natural gas.

It’s OK to root against America when America is doing relentless war crimes

Everyone upset about “America bad” posting needs to reckon with this being what America does

Necessary? No. Essential? Yes

Another example of the US abdicating its global leadership position.

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Friends, I love you, but with regard to Chief Justice Roberts: c’mon now. You do not, in fact, gotta hand it to him.

The Supreme Court ruled that nobody is a U.S. citizen Chief Justice Roberts stated “No person can be in this country. We all have to leave. Now.” The judges packed up their robes and are getting on a boat

firmly believe that rejecting this outlandish position should not earn the Supreme Court credibility as apolitical it is discrediting that the Court even entertained the outlandish position in the first place

At Kennedy Space Center astronauts have to take elevators to the top of launch pad towers in order to enter their space capsules before lift off. This is the elevator panel at Pad 39A.

"Part of the theory originally with No Kings was, Let’s figure out a way to [make visible] the fact that ... elite institutions might have folded to Donald Trump, but American society really hasn’t." newrepublic.com/article/2084...

Modest proposal: The next No Kings march should be on July 4th weekend. What better way to celebrate the anniversary of ridding ourselves of a king?

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

It's a shitty ruling. No question. And I know "court reform" sounds like something Democrats won't ever do and perhaps that is also true. But I refuse to let ADF win by default because everyone thinks the fight is over. Our way out of most of this *waves hands around* horseshit is court reform.

April fools only works when reality isn't this stupid.

lying about it happening on april fool's day: mean-spirited, hurtful, not funny at all it actually happening on april fool's day: possibly the funniest thing of all time

A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

Yes, this is real.

Good stuff from the creator of Claude Code at the end of December

sorry Pete but making your imaginary anecdote soldier a woman is DEI

It was called the Iran nuclear deal. You threw it out because it was negotiated by a black president.

Please stop saying “we” voted for this and “we” are now paying the price. Many millions of “we” voted against that man thrice.

This president has a 35% approval rating and is about to personally drive the price of gas to $8/gallon and institutions are still torching their credibility to appease him?

The same night Kamala Harris lost, a Jewish woman won a Senate seat in Michigan and a lesbian won re-election in Wisconsin. And a straight white Catholic guy named Bob Casey lost re-election in Pennsylvania when everyone (myself included) thought he was unbeatable.

Plausibly, this should (if it happens) be understood as the death of the federal Constitution Not just, to be clear, a mortal wound: imo that's already happened. The actual death. Such that it should no longer be understood to be in force

If I ever retained literally anything I read it would be so over for you bitches

Airports are going to start running out of jet fuel in about a week, according to a former Biden official www.rawstory.com/iran-war-267...

Per YouGov Rahm Emanuel is the 78th most popular Democrat, behind everyone from Michael Dukakis to Barney Frank. He is 12 places behind Harry Reid, who died five years ago. To the extent anything's happening here it's *entirely* media-driven. yougov.com/en-us/rating...

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

Literally laughed out loud at the end. A real one.
