We don't have to live like this. We don't have to be ruled by a petty king and his scheming courtiers.

The purges are the worst part of the SAVE Act that no one’s talking about. Requiring birth certificates and passports is bad, but the Trump administration also intends to purge the voter rolls of eligible voters. And they’d get to pick and choose who to purge

mainstream media outlets should probably be vocally asking who the actual President is

"the good news is that we have found a relatively cheap and easy way to prevent the cast from going through puberty. the bad news is that not everybody in this room is going to like it".

I don’t get it. JLC could just as easily launch her own franchise “inspired by” Murder She Wrote. Why make a direct reboot instead of doing her own thing?

Adding to the great pantheon of sequel songs: Let’s Twist Again Glass Onion Candle in the Wind ‘95 And now…

I mean, that's 21 year old SCOTUS precedent at this point. The only fix for that is to flip congress, flip the executive, and pass a law. You might also have to reform SCOTUS for that law to not get struck down on AM radio technicalities. Until then, NYC lawyers are just citing the case law.

"This position pays a stipend of $[X]" is not a waiver for minimum wage laws, sorry.

“Special counsel Jack Smith gathered evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump took many top secret documents that related to his worldwide business interests, and investigators considered this a likely motive for Trump concealing them” www.ms.now/news/trump-c...

In a world where many democrats have embraced pie-in-the-sky middle class tax cuts, leave it to a democratic socialist like Mamdani to seriously engage with budgeting tradeoffs and embrace an efficient broad based property tax increase

Remember when the US was freaking out about the price of eggs?

Thread!

At this pace Iran might achieve regime change in the USA

FTR I am a fan of this plan. All the pie in the sky that Lincoln Yards sold about new entertainment venues are much more realistic with the UC parking lot redevelopment plan. It’s also much easier to access for trucks (necessary for show production after the venues open) and public transit.

Looks like it was a narco trafficking compound in exactly the same way Alex Pretti was a domestic terrorist.

This place is a lot less interesting without Whet Moser around.

I just watched the episode of MadMen where Don reads “Meditations in an Emergency “

So the Strait is effectively privatized?

As a side note, the wishcasting (esp on bsky) is real. That video we alllllll saw last week of the woman at the gas pump saying "I guess I'm an idiot i voted for trump"? There's a reason we all saw that video. Because so many gleefully shared it thinking "oh FINALLY it's happening." No it's not.

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

This is wild: a company is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for $$$. Some meeting participants only found out after we told them. Included meeting on protecting kids from ICE, was supposed to be private www.404media.co/this-company...

"Director Charles Askenaizer did not appear to receive his award, and some boos were heard in the crowd when his name was called. The Chicago Tribune reported last month that the theater company recently postponed a production due to a third-party investigation into the director’s conduct."

Very emblematic of Bluesky's whole deal that this is getting savaged by people who haven't noticed it's part of a thread about why she voted against Markwayne Mullin.

I think this is a great idea that will be even more amazing when floated by someone whose hobbies don’t include covering up murder

An actual war hero from Maine, Joshua Chamberlain, quit his job at a college and learned how to defeat Lee by reading a book about how to be a military officer. He read a book. Anyway. They should have hanged Lee outside the White House.

If I were a client of Showalter’s and I read this I would find it highly disqualifying. I think I’d already be bothered by the fact that he remains on Twitter and put this much time and energy into posting there. But this post betrays judgement I could not trust to represent me.

And just like that I found a new pro cycling team to root against. I really think this should also spell the end of any US contracting with TE going forward. If they’re willing to accept the kickback, we can move on to other energy developers.

Ok this is definitely one of those moments where you realize this moment is a little different. Nobody in his job talks like that. It’s still a job. He’s acting like he got picked to win the powerball

🤓 but… my inner copy editor comes out 🤓 "The maximal minimalism of Air, Threadgill’s ‘70s trio with bassist Sirone and drummer Jerome Cooper, caught fire fast." Sirone & Cooper were w/Leroy Jenkins in the Revolutionary Trio; Air was Threadgill/Fred Hopkins/Steve McCall

Nice to see a @bandcamp.com Daily feature on Chicago's legendary Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) daily.bandcamp.com/lists/aacm-d... legends of creative self-determination and independence 💖

At least 1,243 people have been killed by drone strikes in Haiti as of January 21. Drone strikes. In Haiti. www.hrw.org/news/2026/03...

Pretty much convinced at this point that the only reason they have not invoked 25A is that he's a human shield for blowback from all the nefarious shit they are doing while he's in power.

It has never ever made any sense to me why so many brilliant people accepted the notion that betting markets could *predict* anything.

I know it's like a tough guy stance to bury your thumbs behind your body armor and keep your arms folded up but all I can think when I see photos of these goons is that they are pretending to be chickens. ...Anyway...BOOOOOOK bok bok bok bok

At this point I don't wonder how much insider trading is going on. I wonder how much policy is being made with the purpose of insider trading on it.

You cannot be saying this kind of thing when your primary job is podcaster.

Her party kept the office! Which I know thanks to @taniel.bsky.social . CNN is banking on a lack of information to convey an editorial that conforms to a reality that is more favorable to the center-right’s pitch.

Looking forward to ICE ending these long lines at TSA checkpoints the only way they know how -- dispersing tear gas and savagely assaulting anyone who's left

How can this go on for another 3 years?

I need to see independent journalistic verification and not just tweets and skeets but I've seen more than one account of the blackout in Cuba that has said one hospital lost all it's ventilator patients last night.

I kindof have the feeling a lot of reddit is a dead mall and many of the posts people are responding to are chatbots.

Gas still costs less than fresh water in a lot of places.

Climb the mountain of conflict

A few years back, a friend of mine and I discussed how Robert Mueller’s report essentially said he couldn’t indict a sitting president so it asked Congress to act, which it didn’t do, while the January 6 committee asked the DOJ to take action on a former president, which it didn’t.

Enemy 1) Foreign autocracy Enemy 2) Domestic opposition party

Dems DHS shutdown has just 100% worked. (Nobody particularly seems to care though)

Kurosawa on watching Solaris with Tarkovsky

Ssh.

Pete Hesgeth said in a room full of people "The problem with Iran is it spends money on weapons and missiles instead of improving life for their people," and not one person laughed at him

The average Illinoisian buys just under one gallon of gas a day. The CrossTowner regional rail vision has a base price estimate of just under $10 billion. If gas holds steady at $2/gal higher now than a month ago, it'd only take about 431 days for Illinois drivers to pay enough to #BuildTheTunnel.
