It's like when I realized that putting and putting look the same but didn't rhyme

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Pennsylvania Republicans are aiming to erase Democrats' majority on the state supreme court in November.

But this sort of push has virtually no precedent or template in this state, making a weird campaign where everyone is trying to find their mark.

A great new read:

No, you see, it's unitary executive when good-for-conservative things happen, but only Democrats have agency at every other time

Judging by this morning's commute, I have to assume that the natural predator of a possum is a Ford F-150

Joe Hendry has the single greatest wrestling gimmick in the last ten years (at least)

“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

“He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.”

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

This will kill people.
This might kill *me and my family* specifically

Getting real Dolores-Umbridge-as-Headmistess-of-Hogwarts vibes

Ppl getting fired for “celebrating Kirk’s death” and these people are literally shooting fireworks

You see, it only says "Congress shall make no law..." so it's perfectly fine for a unitary executive to do whatever they want with regard to speech being free or not

The strict-textualism-when-it-suits-the-conservatives arm of the Supreme Court has been waiting

We've been checkmated, fellow libs

Just witnessed that thing where someone “‘“‘“‘funnily’”’”’” does the thing in a response that someone else just declared they find hyper-irritating, and…

Don’t do that.

A thread.

Local-ish, a whole-ass not-that-small business deleted its social media because one employee made a Kirk-related post on their personal page, and the public figured out where they worked and started deluging both the job site and other employees' feeds with vitriol and death threats.

See, because he said it calmly, it's discourse

This is the kind of "doing politics right" @ezraklein.bsky.social write about

Politics doesn't need to have a shared aim or ground rules about human dignity or anything: it just needs to be not punching each other

Or so I would surmise

This isn't an exaggeration for the sake of mockery, it is objectively and 100% accurately what they just said.

As you might imagine this is actually a story about software development, and not toilet paper.

AI "powered" processes ride on the credibility earned by real design, where a "receipt" is evidence that real work was actually done. But all they do is imitate receipts, not the work itself.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

Back to back broadcast on the speakers here at the resort where the state committee meeting is happening:

The Association, "Windy" (1967)
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, "Nuthin' but a "G" Thang" (1992)

It's a little weird when you recognize the names of judges as "I knew that guy in high school"

Of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most

Finally figured out my band name

Constance and the Variables

I’m going to quote tweet Jarrett’s column the whole way to Boston today, but I want to start with these very basic stats.

“The five southeastern counties are home to about 32% of PA residents, and contribute around 40% of the state’s tax dollars”

On my son's first day in college English, the professor talked up the advantages of AI compositions. He then asked the students to write a short essay on what they were most excited about and least excited by in the class. My son's response outlined why he had no interest in using AI to write.

Kimes/Isola is my favorite PTI duo at this point

The Best Comedy Series Of 2025 Is The Antidote To Everything You Hate About Streaming - SlashFilm Dropout's Game Changer is a perfect example of how creative people can cheaply use a classic format to get modern viewers emotionally invested in the outcome.

I’ve spent all season analyzing why @gamechangershow.bsky.social is the best of the best, and it shouldn’t be a surprise that talking to @samreich.bsky.social about it made everything click into place.

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
