This is literally the banality of evil

He mentioned Trump by name but it's clear he knew Democratic leadership was watching, because the stuff about being beholden to convention for too long seemed aimed squarely at them

What a banger by Zohran!!!

This is my personal bellwether: if Jones wins despite the text message scandal, there can be little doubt a Blue Wave is building

Curious if Greg sees any connection between a broader war with Venezuela and using the military here in the US pursuant to the Insurrection and Alien Enemies Acts

The guys who are protecting pedophiles love recess.

Hey there, pennies are being phased out by our government. This is not a decision that is being made by small businesses. If a shop you frequent decides to round up or down 1 to 4 cents, please do not crash out.

I think back often to a conversation I had about 15 years ago with my cousin about the death of expertise. She argued it was bad but I disagreed.

The years since have been one long proof that I was wrong and Cousin Julia was right.

This is why he's inciting war with Venezuela. He's going to claim gangs like Tren de Aragua justify using the military here in the US under the Insurrection and Alien Enemies Acts.

Charlie the dog sleeps peacefully between my legs

Today is one year since we said goodbye to Charlie. Still miss you so much, little dude.

That's right, plus I think the regular military itself has to have statutory authorization for the initial deployment

And Will's point is that knowing how to make a difference for neglected workers isn't same thing as knowing what wins elections. Help workers because it's the right thing to do, not because it's winning politics. There's just no evidence for that.

We live in an episode of Veep

Scientists Have a New Tool to Detect Hidden Dark Matter: Plain Ol’ Sugar The aptly named SWEET project was developed by a team of researchers to use sugar crystals for detecting hypothetical light dark matter particles.

I cannot shake the suspicion that we're going to look back on this period of scientific history someday and lament how many of our best minds wasted their time trying to prove hypotheses like dark matter and string theory that turn out to be dead ends

So is the Alien Insurrection Act end game just obvious to everyone else or am I really the only one connecting these dots?

At this point, you should consider a right of publicity claim

One telling Kuminga metric: he's led the Warriors in rebounds 2 out of their 3 games so far

Seems fairly obvious to me but what do I know

Social media strategy may well be part of it, but it seems to me there's a chilling logic to this escalation:

1. Go to war with Venezuela
2. Pull gangs like Tren de Aragua into the conflict
3. Claim this as the basis for invoking the Alien Enemies Act
4. Fascism
