We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

I’ve always believed that the political destiny of great nations has often turned on weak men’s reaction to the equivalent of “Jenny laughed when I asked her to the Spring Formal”

@stevevladeck.bsky.social, he fights!

Taylor pleaded guilty to paying for sex acts with a 16-year-old. He was 51. His son is doing 30 years for a similar crime. Taylor says the girl said she was 19.

I think sex offender laws badly need reform. But the admin’s hypocrisy on this stuff is astounding.

I grew up on these streets.

BOP is a a it or a black box and it's hard to figure out why they do what they do but the appearance of this is absolutely fully corrupt. The appearance is convicted sex offenders get benefits for helping Trump's image problem. Verminous.

Deadwood is the GOAT.

Deadwood.

Houston kills Kamp Kanakuk Day I wrote yesterday about Houston proclaiming July 25 Kamp Kanakuk Day. It was a terrible idea. Kanakuk has a history of covering up child sex abuse. The

Kudos to GOP Lawmaker Mary Nan Huffman and the city of Houston for withdrawing their day honoring Kanakuk -- after they learned of the camp's history of abuse and ongoing treatment of victims. Great statement.

Stop policing my life Ari. Gosh.

Scalia was the worst. A racist, sexist, homophobe by the standards of his own day. And a hypocrite. Here are the detailed receipts: logosjournal.com/article/the-...

Hey! The year the University of Arizona won the men’s college basketball championship was not a boring year!!!!!

This is why I am a paid subscriber to @stevevladeck.bsky.social, he fights! But Steve gives too much credit to Adler’s good faith. Even if Adler is more thoughtful than most, he has proven himself to be an ideologue first, whose entire “academic” view can be summed up as anti-anti-conservative.

Hang together or hang separately.

Trump signs order increasing Brazil tariff to 50 percent President Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order raising tariffs on imports from Brazil to 50 percent, escalating his fight with the largest South American economy. The order Trump signed dec…

Trump does shit every day that should get him impeached. But illegally punishing an entire country — and any Americans who use products or do businesses with anyone in Brazil — because it’s prosecuting its former president for attempting a violent coup is among the worst things he has done.

I stand proudly to say these bigots should be *gasp* cancelled. Dun, dun, dunnnnnn!!! And that social pressure in the form of counter speech that “chills” this kind of racist speech is a legitimate function of the marketplace of ideas. www.reddit.com/r/interestin...

Setting aside the fact that you cannot effectively stop an armed person who moves quickly and does not care if he lives or dies, how on Earth is this the responsibility of a person who is not in office as opposed to the actual damn mayor who was a cop and who has given the cops everything they want?

How am I and Emil Bove the same age, I’ve abused myself in a thousand ways yet I’m just a jovial rakish drunk and he looks like the navigator on a boat across the Hades

Ruh roh, I have managed to remain ignorant of this and it looks like that’s a good thing.

I liked it! Got a few lol’s with my wife.

Just to reiterate: What this administration is doing right now is orders of magnitude more dangerous for academic freedom and free speech than anything the right has spent the last 30 years complaining about.

Hitchens very much struggled with religions conflict with science and general progress, for which he had points. But I strongly disagree with him that the two (religion and science) cannot co-exist in harmony. The First Amendment, if followed, provides for exactly how they can co-exist.
