This is a survey of 50 “legal experts.” I’m not sure if this is a great springboard for your “lawyers are cynical idiots” take given that we know nothing of what qualifies this small sample size as experts, what kind of expertise they have, etc.

It’s certainly embarrassing for them!

The Left continues to think they can mobilize Americans on the principle that "America is bad and has always been bad."

I had that T8 as well. I see people get a ton of mileage out of the S4 and I’ll probably buy a used one one day and give a a go.

It wouldn’t be a Roland if it didn’t have a maddeningly inadequate display!

Had a couple of these Roland boutiques for a bit. This is definitely the one I would have kept. Very pleasing little chord machine.

Trying to resist the temptation to buy that new TR-1000…

Democrats Must Embrace War Mindset We have exited a long period of peace and entered into a struggle not unlike war, in which all the old certainties have gone malleable and the future of the republic is at stake.

this piece has been in the works a while but honestly i could not have asked for a better foil than ezra klein's interview with ta-nehisi coates. klein longs for peacetime--but you don't get to decide when you're in a fight.

the entire administration has Hitler strategic goals but youth pastor tactics and charisma

It is undeniable that this moment is being shaped by people who marinated for years in an informational environment where reality was not only demoted but actively disdained. It took a while for that bubble to become impermeable but it did and now we have a chunk of people who know nothing but.

Pete is trying to incept decades of cable news conditioning into the minds of some of the most serious people we have.

working up "democrats must embrace war mindset" rn, but one of my beliefs is this: dooming is itself a reaction to the fear of responsibility. if all is lost and nothing matters then you can't be criticized for your choices. it's not "cold eyed reason." it's an easy escape. comforting

For your primary residence, up to $500,000 in sale proceeds for married fillers and $250,000 for single filers are already excluded form capital gains.

This policy helps: millionaires selling their million dollar homes for a profit and house flippers.

Another infuriating win for the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles where they scored 31 points and never trailed on the road against an undefeated opponent

It's so clear that there's a huge number of professionals in the US who carry with them traumatic memories of being excluded, laughed at, or looked down up on by the Smart Kids and who have basically made hostility to Smart Kids their entire personality, ideology, & worldview.

“There were two gangs-the Jets and the Sharks. They would face each other in the streets, snapping their fingers and singing show tunes in an aggressive manner. I am still in therapy to deal with the trauma.”

Seeing Curtis Yarvin tweet is like if you watch a horror movie that sets up this mysterious evil villain, and then at the end of the movie comes the grand reveal… and it’s just Alf. And you can’t help but laugh and also feel a bit let down. That’s it??

I added the music

PTA’s One Battle After Another deserves all the praise. Give the best artists the money and get out of the way.

Can’t wait for MAGA to pick up on the fact that the most Oscar noms will go to an explicitly anti-fascist movie that overtly clowns white supremacists as soulless dorks and freaks.

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

Some people never let go of cool kid posturing when it comes to music. Since we millennials are the first generation to stay connected to youth culture into our 40, the posturing is hanging around.

If you can’t feel joy when someone is singing Say It Ain’t So at karaoke, you’re dead inside.

Alan is an essential observer of rising American fascism. Those of us with the will to look see it all around us every day, but few offer his blend of clarity and conviction on the topic.

IG is pushing me to follow Kirk/TPUSA while a reels scroll reveals disturbing and opportunistic hagiographies.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I mean he’s a killer but he still doesn’t condone *vulgarity*. Can’t let his mother see him writing dirty words.

If only there was a four-letter word that you could write before ICE that would be sound more natural than 'ANTI ICE'.
