today seems like a things-fall-apart-the-center-cannot-hold sorta day so how about a timeline cleanse for you? this is absolutely the best thing you will watch at least this week

(via Matt Storer on IG)

hope you can make time to read this...

well, it's more bad news, but at least it's the truth. many of these present days, that is the best we can hope for.

and I thought this was bad!

this is why only trained professionals should be allowed to speak French. (and what are you, 12 years old? 😀)

whatever happened to irony?

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

trump is also going in order to deliver one of his 'campaign rally' speeches, so this will take much more than 1hr. sort of a good news / bad news situation.

so say we all.

it is strange that these people don't seem to understand they live in a world with >7.5B other humans, and many of these (well organized) other humans are ignoring these insane rantings, and are going right on ahead with inventing the future. which we will not be a part of (?!?).

can they say a bit about what types of quality metrics they have for being able to accept/reject a battery for this repurposing? and what percentage of rejects does that lead to?

evergreen.

For A's fans, new city, same anger A year after the move to West Sacramento, franchise still grapples with low attendance and outrage at owner.

owners of ball clubs should have more responsibility to the cities the teams reside in. the A's were such a treasure in northern california, and now this. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

try as he might, he can't ban it in other countries. one thing we have going for us as a species is that it is *not* true that the entire planet has lost it's mind.

I am imagining E.Klein at 78 yrs old, replaying over and over his decision making on that column.

Can Liberalism Be Saved? The legal scholar Cass Sunstein argues for a more expansive definition of an ideology under threat.

I'd like to suggest you read this, just so you can get to this point: "Well, the next time someone brings up a terrible anecdote about Cambodia or Vietnam, I will definitely drop the Star Wars story to show that people have two sides."
www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...?

the best ever: "Why wrestle with climate models or the (alleged) threat of a category-5 hurricane when one can simply… not believe in them? What a breath of fresh 158 mph air that must be."

incredibly, he forgot his line (i.e. - 'we are looking at it very strongly'). very concerning, I hope he is OK.

Headline from the New York Times, 1939: “Goebbels ends careers of five “Aryan“ actors who made witticisms about the Nazi regime.”

wow, just like looking in a mirror...

the 'debate me bro' style that C.Kirk employed at colleges was a type of trolling designed to produce viral content for his social media feeds, showing him 'owning the libs'. I can't possibly agree that this is 'doing things the right way'. I say this independent of the content of his 'arguments'.

@michaelharriot.bsky.social wrote this two years before George Floyd was murdered on camera by police. It seems even more appropriate now. www.theroot.com/civility-is-...

holy crap, somehow none of this came up in that interview, haha.

wow that sort of captures it. wore me out trying to read it, I had to quit about halfway through. E.Klein has had a rough 7-10 days here (haha), but he does have the patience of a saint.

1. It was a perfect negotiation.
2. This is another witch hunt by the failing New York Times.

I think that covers it, yes?

"Critics of the administration now worry that Mr. Kirk’s murder could be used as a pretext to move even more aggressively against those who speak out against Mr. Trump." (nyt 9/13/25)

what is a 'conservative physics professor'? someone who stops teaching principles beyond Newton, perhaps?
