oh wow it's like Iran and Venezuela are two wildly different countries whose governments respond very differently when attacked

Trump only got into Wharton after his family pulled strings and got him an interview with an official who did a "special favor" to the family. A Wharton prof later said he was "the dumbest goddamn student" he ever had.

So, yes, his admission does say a lot about how smart he is.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

don't worry, the U.S. is fully capable of removing mines from the Strait of Hormuz, we didn't just decommission out last mine- sweepers in the area and replace them with Littoral Combat Ships (the worst boats in the fleet by wide agreement) with untested mine interdiction upgrades

Reynolds signs Iowa law barring local trans civil rights protections City and county civil rights commissions may no longer protect Iowans from gender identity-based discrimination under a law signed by Gov. Reynolds.

The first state in the US to remove statutory protections for an entire class, gender identity, has just enacted a bill preventing local municipalities from having their own protections for trans people.

In 1990, when Congress created a protection for migrant children subject to abuse, it didn't anticipate backlogs would get bad enough that beneficiaries would wait years for a visa, and so never thought to explicitly bar deportation for winners.

Today the BIA greenlit deportation in that situation.

A lot of media people helped stoke the Wokeness panic of ~2016-2024 because they all live online and people online are annoying in a particular way. So since then they've had to either admit they were suckered or double down, and I will not be checking which it is

Ohio judge rules that Kalshi is sports betting and must adhere to state law "These 'prediction markets' have exploded and look an awful a lot like gambling," Ohio's attorney general said.

Nice to see a judge basically laugh at the claim that Kalshi and other "prediction" markets are not "betting."

Gotta kill these sites as soon as possible.
