The US federal government is openly warring against its own nonwhite population in a way no one alive has ever experienced. It’s not even getting to hide it. The overt bigotry is comparable to Jim Crow. And our pathetic, cowed, putrid political class just keeps pretending it isn’t even happening.

I fear I’m developing a new obsession of watches. Will I spend $2,000 + on a watch ever? No. Do I now have opinions on $40,000+ watches? Unfortunately yes.

Wer braucht schon Nvidia und Apple, wenn man Zukunftstechnologie wie *checks notes* das Auto mit Verbrennermotor hat, erfunden 1885. Das ist Made in Germany! 🇧🇪

This means NSF dissertation improvement grants in the social sciences are simply...not happening.

Collective, racist punishment.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/26/u...

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

If he believes “the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal” he has no idea what he’s doing. Of course that’s been obvious all along unless what he wants to be doing is representing the Russian Federation. Then he does know what he’s doing.

Would like to thank countries from Iceland to Botswana, from Lake Baikal to Loch Lomond, for letting me visit their scenic destinations for much lower fees than this.

Now this plan does recognize reality on the ground (immediate ceasefire along the contact line) while preserving Ukrainian sovereignty. The US should join its actual, long-standing allies and start pressuring Russia to agree to this. apple.news/Azlz3efy5Qqi...

Well, progress on one front, at least

The US admin again completely misunderstand Ukrainian domestic politics. The corruption scandal does NOT make Ze more likely to take a bad deal; on the contrary, given his weakened domestic standing, Ze is even less likely to accept a deal that would cross the red lines of Ukrainian society.

Then enlightenment, when I said Never Again for Anyone. The promise of politics is to end the cycles of domination and oppression, of yesterday's victims and today's oppressors. I'm thankful for my Holocaust education and how it shaped my life.
