Bizarrely, the Magats fantasize that 'Elon' would be their personal buddy if they could meet up with him, but Professors are too snooty. So this actually works for them.

The correct analogy is not the betrayal of Czechoslovakia, but the carving up of Poland in the Hitler-Stalin Pact.

Dem Senators to Dem voters: "Look at us fighting." Dem Senators to Republican Senators: "When can we have lunch?".

Hegseth is "proud" of white supremacists whose determination to keep human beings in bondage led to the deaths of 600,000+ Americans.

In this play, JD's role is Iago.

bad education has left the door open to the charlatans.

This is in part a failure of science education, but it's also a failure of historical education. If people understood anything about daily life in the past, or about the history of medicine, they could not possibly think this. That's not to deny the role of anti-science propaganda, but

It means that this administration wanted Putin to win from the start, and all the huffing and puffing about being tough on Russia was meaningless.

Serious question: does CNN really think this is what people want to watch?

MSNBC is happy to be a launch platform for the regime's trial balloons.

Is this coding error related to the Nuremberg Code?

Agreed, but I'm also genuinely puzzled as to why CNN thinks that five people simultaneously yelling at each other is something that people would want to watch.

Reminds me of the implosion of the Washington Post.

Francis predicted the 'End of History' just before we got a whole lot more History, now he's telling us how great AI is just before we get a lot of it being Not Great.

"All the Quotas Have Been Exceeded" - an actual headline I once read in an East German newspaper.

Adam Tooze made the remark that the source of the present crisis is that the American ruling class has failed to reproduce itself. I thought that was quite smart.

Who could have thought that a constitution written by 18th Century slaveowners would not work well in the 21st Century?

Interesting how you have such high standards of behavior for the left, but you give reactionaries a mulligan on everything.

Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.

Why does CNN think that a bunch of people yelling at each other is what we want to watch?
