i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffingβ€”sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pensionβ€”and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

Forgive me if some of you have long ago sorted this out for yourselves. But I just realized that the problem with getting roasted by kids isn’t that they are so good at it β€” which, okay, some of them are β€” it’s that the adult is totally hamstrung! You cannot curse them out or break their spirit!

still kind of enjoying The Bear but I think we as a people deserve a prestige TV show about a Waffle House instead of this fine dining bullshit

RFK Jr. threatens to bar government scientists from publishing in leading medical journals The health secretary said the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association and The Lancet are in bed with pharma.

reputable medical journals keep saying that RFK and his pro-disease friends are full of shit and so naturally they must be shunned www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Lots of nostalgia for the golden age of magazines/expense accounts/travel and decadence. But whenever I take a spin through the Atlantic's archives, I yearn for the days of magazine writing where people were literally like, here is simply a piece of food/geography that exists

How cowardly, cancelling National Endowment for the Arts grants on a Friday night. At least do it in the daylight on a Tuesday.

To hell with Elon and his army of sad kids.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Not sure how we get through all of this. It will require many of us to move completely differently, relate to people differently, make money differently, share differently.

But we gotta try.
