I’m actually willing to buy that he’s more a moron than an ideological antisemite, but you really have to be laughably clueless to think “but his wife is Jewish” is even the slightest bit relevant to that question. It should have exactly zero effect on anyone’s certainty either way.

Killing kids in a school is bad. Using AI is bad. Using AI, any AI, they're all bullshit, to bomb schools, is evil.

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

Darnit, they weren’t supposed to get a *good* attorney!

Talarico: I want to start off by thanking Congresswoman Crockett. She is a colleague and a friend. It was an honor to run this race with her. To her supporters, I hope to earn your trust and your support. It’s on me to ensure you feel welcomed in, represented by, and proud of this campaign.

The order itself requires Customs to "liquidate all entries" without regard to IEEPA duties, but at the hearing the judge said unequivocally that "I want to make it clear to the Customs Service that they have to refund any money that was unlawfully collected." [4]

Yup--I just listened to the hearing, and the Judge took the parties by surprise by indicating he'd issue such a judgment. USG counsel asked for some time to brief the merits and the judge responded: "There are no merits." [3]

"I asked God to forgive me, which he has."

Honestly this is the biggest perk of serving in Congress. Most people have to ask forgiveness and wonder. If you're in Congress you get a same day answer from the big guy.

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

Tonight, to the extent I could, I channeled my inner Trane.

Gonna rec some things about the Black Sox scandal.

It's a really important thing, if you care about sports. Topical, now. Given that MLB is jumping in w/ both feet.

First up, Eight Men Out gets some important details wrong, for dramatic reasons.

I think this is one of my more inspired covers. I mean. Who else is playing Hendrix on the concertina in the style of "La Chona"? NO ONE ELSE.

WHY IS EVERY PAPER ON EARTH USING SCHUMER’S PICTURE WHEN HE LOST ON A PARTY-LINE VOTE??

THUNE IS THE FACE OF THIS, NOT SCHUMER.

I MEAN, COME ON.

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.

“Once again, Florida chooses political posturing over the First Amendment,” Judge Walker writes.

You can just go ahead and say you’re cool with the Nazi.

Depends if we are having the domestic A1S8 or the international side of that conversation, but in both cases the "declaration" part is mostly now archaic. The modern standards are if the attack meets ad bellum reqmt for entering an armed conflict, and the in bello standard for action in conflict

Like, as best as I can tell, this seems to be the spokesperson’s response to enabling delusion and suicide:

Two thoughts on this:

1. sure they’re not perfect. But if they’re capable of creating works that exacerbate delusions and ultimately lead to suicide, maybe you shouldn’t have released that particular product yet.

2. This is precisely the reason for product liability laws.

Every time I read a new Chotiner interview I think of how easy it would be for other journalists to do what he does. Just do your homework, ask follow-up questions and don't move on until you get a response. It also doesn't seem to have cost Chotiner that most precious journalistic resource: access.

They’ve clearly never been fed in their whole lives.

I have no idea where you are, much less the traffic laws of your jurisdiction, so idk.

No, it must be something else.

Cat in a table looking in the direction of her food bowl

Cat on a chair looking accusingly.

It is, once again, not quite dinner time (and also, there’s food left in their bowls, just not wet good).

I mean, no, we don’t agree on that. Like, I’m not sure what jurisdiction you live in, but in many jurisdictions bicyclists do, in fact, have different rules than cars. Here, bikes can ride side by side. And you, as a driver, prefer bikes to pass stopped cars on the right.

Which is why you’re providing links?

Based on pre-strike polling showing 20% approval, I'd say about 20% here is the "rally-around-the-flag" effect you'd normally expect. But it's still dismal to start a war with these levels of support. It leaves zero room for setbacks or surprises, as are nearly inevitable in any extended conflict.

Dammit he’s comfortable enough with * Nazi* iconography.

(Not sure why we’re naming search engines, but it is kinda fun.)

DuckDuckGo.

Altavista.

Whatever he believes in his heart if hearts, he’s not walking out of the Nazi bar, whether he knew it was one when he walked in or not. 2/2
