All I ever heard for *years* was how incredible Noma’s food was. Now that chef Rene Redzepi is accused of abuse, foodies are coming out of the woodwork with “Noma’s food was actually terrible” & there’s an important lesson in there about status symbols
Never fund DHS again. Abolish it completely.
If someone wants to moan about "but but we have to ____" yeah fine we can discuss a new department, but *this* department has to go.
And I ask again: Where are my Harper’s letter writers at?
Love how that dolt Bianco describes this as some sort of planning failure by the U.S. military. Sorry, no, the failure here belongs entirely to the Trump admin: they thought this would be an easy win, it's not, and there are no good plans for opening the Strait, only different types of bad plans.
Watching these guys learn basic geopolitics in real time is incredible. Ah so that's why you need allies. I see
Maybe so BUT obviously the IRGC will crumble when they see the President's 346th Truth Social post threatening to do what he's already been doing.
The corruption of the Trump Administration remains so massive while also being so obvious that people just don’t know what to do. If Kushner was merely shaking someone down for $5,000 using his govt role, there’d be an outcry. But do it for $5,000,000,000 and mostly there’s 🤷♂️
#TrumpCorruptionWatch
can this be a solution?
I mostly agree with this, except I draw less of a distinction between Burkean, Fusionist, and Fascist conservativism. All are framed around promoting a particular form of social order (with a lot of overlap, but also differences) and all of them are pro-monopolist (to enhance their preferred order).
I can’t get over how Cultural Revolution the DOGE story is, these young people doing crimes they didn’t understand on behalf of a political leader
It is hard to overstate, for non-lawyers, just how milquetoast the ABA is in normal times. It’s supposed to be boring insurance lawyers leading workshops with boring tax lawyers, trying to drum up business.
A pissed off ABA is like dentists manning the barricades and singing Le Marseillaise.
Eh, why should we research Alzheimer's, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease? It's not like these issues could ever possibly affect me, personally, because I, like every Republican, have no conception of time, probability, or cause and effect, I exist in a void filled solely by malicious urges.
In addition to burying responsibility, the story doesn't even answer the question, treating the issue as inevitable and unsolvable. It's neither, Trump caused it and the solutions are (a) stop bombing Iran and hope; or (b) sacrifice American soldiers (and billions of dollars) to pry it open.
I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.
A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.
lmao
Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.
“They’re going to maybe do something having to do with the straits.”
I know, you're thinking I made that up, but, no, that's our President, sharp as ever.
Even MechaHitler Grok gets this one right, but apparently not the person nominated to oversee America's masked kidnapper army and its concentration camps.
Sure thing Alex, language models built on texts from the humanities, are extremely sensitive to prompt inputs, and which produce errors only discoverable by a close read, are going to make obsolete the people trained in the humanities with skills in choosing words carefully and close reading.
A central tenet of MAGA is that Jews aren't people, they're tools, and accordingly their value derives entirely from the utility they provide MAGA.
At every shipping company that isn't a fly-by-night shell company, there's a low-level manager named "Bull." Bull's advice was disregarded once; a lot of people died or were fired and it was very expensive. So when Bull says no to something, it doesn't happen, and Bull thinks the Strait "looks bad."
Fake news, I'm insulted you think you can convince me NBC News is hosted by someone named "Tom Llamas." Nonsense. I even googled it and the picture is just AI trying to draw Rami Malek.
As a point of comparison, the US spent $21 billion in FY 2022 to feed billions of breakfasts and lunches to kids in schools across our whole country for an entire year under the universal school meals program that was later discontinued.
The 1970s as the height of humanity is a banger, but I still prefer "No! No!!"
Also, again, Iran doesn’t have to interdict every ship. They just have to prove that you could be one of today’s unlucky few for nobody to want to cross the strait
I appreciate people who have suggestions predicated on the notion that Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Dubai don't think big enough when it comes to infrastructure.
on the bright side i can't imagine losing a democratic primary against ilhan omar as an ICE lawyer is much work at all
I saw that and thought, "what a brilliant want to raise $10m from Republican donors and funnel it out to friendly 'consultants' who can kick it back to you."
It's not a way to get Ilhan Omar's seat, but it'll pay her more than she was making opposing hundreds of habeas petitions.
I'm not a commodities guy but I don't know how many more events like this the markets will be willing to overlook because Trump occasionally shouts, "nearly done!" at a reporter from his golf cart.
