Forget about the substance, the reveal that “most of” the justices talked to Mollie Hemingway for her book is bananas. Hemingway is a right-wing freak who runs a conspiracy theory blog. If literally any of the justices are taking this person seriously, the Supreme Court is GONE gone.

This passage citing the work of Jonathan Haidt in the Yale Report is instructive. For a group pushing "intellectual pluralism," it is notable that it doesn't mention the widespread criticism of the book, such as the reviewer in Nature who bluntly said his argument "is not supported by science."

it would be a wild thing to say if that’s what he said I cannot believe you people are making me defend Chuck Schumer but lying about what people say is bad.

"Some cultures are dysfunctional and regressive," say the white guys deliberately trying to make ours dysfunctional and regressive.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

The stupidest take you ever saw. Comparing a twitch streamer to a genocidal war criminal... Both these things are the same. I am Very Smart. 🧠🧠

the new york times are chronic liars and this article is silly... but at the same time if any younger men are interested i'm down ;)

Time for more "Joe Rogan is abandoning Trump" takes.

He has merely gotten 98.5% of what he wanted, it's been a divided court all along

All this really indicates to me is that brands have way too much money www.reuters.com/markets/on-t...

Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.

I feel so much better on antibiotics that I'm going to start taking them every day

These whiny fucking dorks

OMG, they modified 2Pac's voice to sing "I'm a street fighter" instead of "straight rider".

Genuinely funny that Sonia Sotomayor issued a public apology today for her mild criticism of a conservative colleague on a specific, substantive issue, and then a few hours later Clarence Thomas picked up a mic and was like ALL LIBERALS ARE AMERICA-HATING COWARDS

FINALLY, an episode about alleged sex cults and weighing your own poop!!

It’s wild “a sex Kumon learning center” from @michaelhobbes.bsky.social didn’t get more of a reaction

I think the honest answer to this is that people were used to prices rising in 1983 because the "natural" rate of inflation was higher for longer. Whereas when prices jumped in 2020, they did so after 30 years of moderate price increases. This works empirically and is reinforced by the polling

Wait the nyt is publishing LLM slop now?

Jk haha…unless?

I'm sorry for ignoring the substance I'm utterly fixated on this and laughing hysterically

Any trailer that uses What's Up should come with a content warning

Gee that's a pretty bold claim, they must have great eviden—

this looks like absolute ass

Zohran Mamdani said he's going to start taxing rich people who buy luxury housing in NYC but don't actually live in there, and the former CEO of Twitter/X called it "actually one of the scariest things I have ever seen."

Since Dave is trending, I do wanna reshare this great piece of investigative work by Michael Hobbes, that goes into what actually happened with Daphne Dornan, the trans woman whose suicide Dave explicitly exploited to push hate speech. Dave is such a POS. michaelhobbes.substack.com/p/dave-chapp...

🚨 IT’S A CROSSOVER EPISODE 🚨 We’re joined by @fivefourpod.bsky.social & @ifbookspod.bsky.social’s own Peter Shamshiri for a diet book deep dive on Tim Ferriss’s “The 4-Hour Body.” What does $250k in medical equipment get you? Unlimited ultrasounds & bad advice! www.buzzsprout.com/1411126/epis...

The national media is eating up this report as justification for perpetuating the lie that universities themselves - as opposed to decades of attacks from the far right authoritarian party - are responsible for eroding trust in higher education. You can almost hear them salivating at the chance.

Somehow I manage to podcast merely on coffee, tums and wellbutrin

Again: Couple this with his enthusiasm for burning bodies of Iraqis he killed and... He just seems like a psycho!

I think a lot of podcasters in this vein should be interpreted as “reactionary” in the most literal sense that they are extremely vacuous and form their politics by following trends of resentment against whatever they see on social media

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

clavicular's neurosurgeon asking the nurse for another hammer

The best part about this is how he solicits advice from various academics, and this one professor responds back with what is clearly just an assorted list of her own grievances.

This is lunacy.

Bari Weiss not beating the "soft-MAGA, aspiring to be state TV" accusations

No matter how insufferable you might be, at least you didn’t godsplain to the pope

the answer to this is obvious. real incomes are up on average, but not among bluesky users, who are statistically anomalous in their lack of business mindset.

kinda funny how Republican voters are inarguably happier when a Dem is president. they don’t actually want to be in charge of shit, they want to roll coal and whip themselves into a frenzy over wholly imaginary liberal tyranny. now they’ve caught the car and it fuckin sucks

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

I spent two weeks looking into accusations that Hasan Piker is antisemitic. What I found was damning: prominent organizations and leaders have spread total falsehoods about him. Whether he's antisemitic is for you to decide. But everyone should care when the ADL & politicians spread disinformation.

Wokeness truly is the communism of the 2020s, in that everyone is terrified of it, it's incredibly powerful and easily kept at bay at once but no one really knows what it is

I get the frustration but honestly I don't think it would have mattered what campaign they ran. Americans blamed them for inflation and the job market period, with no sense of how much worse things could get. That said FFS Dems don't take any advice from the NYT.

still laugh whenever i think about this
