When I was in That Space, I was so desperate to get out of my own head that I started doing a bunch of stuff I’d never usually do. Learn to play an instrument/take lessons. Go to music shows alone. Many museum trips. And in retrospect, I’ve never been so live- soaking up the Now and all it can offer

Populism: A Socio-Cultural Approach AbstractThis chapter introduces a novel approach to understanding populism in both a theoretically sophisticated and cross-regionally pertinent way. Focusi

The reason why Cornyn isn’t “MAGA” isn’t because of his lack of “MAGA” policies. It is because populist political movements aren’t au fond about policies. It’s about us/them - and one way to signal “us” is purely performative and cultural.

Cornyn performs as a bush-era Republican.

Adventures in the unitary executive: we’re eliminating for-cause firing protections to make sure agency officials remain accountable … but the person in charge of aforementioned accountability exercises it *not* after citizens are murdered, but when she lies about what he said about an ad budget

There’s some small bit of hypocrisy to see male members of congress slut shame noem.

Except for massie.

Does this mean she’s keeping the jets and the blankie

Something lost in translation here

Elon Musk says he paid full price for Twitter due to ‘biased’ Delaware judge (TSLA:NASDAQ) Elon Musk says a “biased” Delaware judge pushed him to buy Twitter at full price.

Not sure what exactly his lawyers told him, but it was more likely they told him, “This is what happens when you sign a seller friendly merger agreement. The judge will be biased in favor of enforcing it.”

The man already got the Delaware legislature to re-write corporate fiduciary conflicts law for him. Now he wants his own special contract law?

Or maybe he discovered, like many wage workers before him, that binding yourself to a contract is. It the epitome of liberty; autonomy and self-governance🤔

Inside the Underground Safe Houses Sheltering Immigrants From ICE

The new Underground Railroad. Not surprised at all that this is in Ohio.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

What makes the argument cohere is that the initial harm was not a moral violation - it was something they were entitled to do. It’s the *resistance* to the harm that is the moral wrong that requires retaliation.

Ie the logic of an abuser

The idea is that the abuser feels entitled to do harm first and the resistance to that harm is the moral/ ethical violation

That whole “we struck because they were about to strike after we were about strike” ouroboros/cup game from Rubio and hegseth?

It really reminds me of “jeez lighten up you can’t take a joke you hysterical b*tch” after belittling her so much she erupts into screaming tears

Twitter post with a photo of Trump in the gilded Oval Office, quoting “"Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it." Spoken like a true rapist.”

Omg what a dumb way to start WWIII

Inside every woman is a trash panda hero

Trash panda (raccoon in a trash can) butterfly clip

Did this professor wear this trash panda hair clip while teaching smith v van gorkum in her corporate law class today?

Yes she did and she looks forward to the anonymous student commentary at the end of the semester.

So… no one is worried about trump’s access to the nuclear codes….?

I’m certain that when what remains of Iran’s security forces begins its existential crackdown on civil dissent, we will welcome Iran’s dissident refugees and fast-track their asylum applications

So 9-11 was just, like, what - a plane come down from space and it was really just an asteroid?

Notably, an Isolated strategic large scale attack also occurred on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii in 1941 - also an obvious non-war, per representative Luna

Pre-recorded straight-to-truth-social video messages in lieu of a press conference isn’t quite as cowardly as hiding in a bunker beneath the reich chancellory while sending out 12 year old boys to do a last stand against the red army.

But it’s in the same zip code

Deaths arising from wars of choice, like acts of god, school shootings, and tornadoes, are appropriately filed under “sh*t happens”

because they are all, of course, devoid of human agency

The reason they didn’t bring this to congress and the people is because they didn’t want to give anyone the chance to mobilize against it.

My understanding of the paramount/WB deal is that paramount wants to try to win the steaming wars - and the CNN part is just the bribery mechanism to get it past regulators
