I’m starting to think that learning loss during covid wasn’t actually their real concern

So I think it's fair to say that only a tiny, tiny percentage of the US population was tied up with Epstein. But weirdly maybe 70% of the people in the field of evolutionary psychology.

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Do I have treatment resistant depression or am I just conscious and capable of reading the news?

Perdue updates the Chinese Exclusion Act.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Trump said one thing I agree with today: This was not a hard case, and the Supreme Court should have ruled on it long ago.

It is very troubling that the insane elderly person babbling on my TV right now is in charge of this country.

Trump says that all the tariffs that were not overruled by the Supreme Court remain in place.

YES… THIS IS HOW LEGAL OPINIONS WORK

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

Again, maybe the most depressing aspect of the past decade has been that it’s made it impossible to avoid recognizing that a terrifyingly large minority of our fellow citizens are just flat out evil.

FDA will drop two-study requirement for new drug approvals, aiming to speed access The Food and Drug Administration plans to drop its longtime standard of requiring two rigorous studies for new drug approvals.

This could be extremely harmful. False positives, power issues, & rare adverse events come to mind if there is only one trial required 🤦‍♀️

The real serious mass movement would not be "No Kings" but "No Presidents" & focus on a set of constitutional amendments to turn us into a parliamentary democracy. But that's obviously not going to happen, so what we need is a set of ready-to-go institutional reforms to mimic that w/o amendments:

Yoon and Prince Andrew wishing they had a friend like John Roberts.

In effect, the US government has stopped reporting nearly all of its economic data in a timely manner. Whether they catch up or not remains to be seen.

So, Leslie Wexner, an incredibly savvy businessman, the richest man in Ohio, the biggest donor to Ohio State University, the man who is said to own Ohio State University, just happened to get conned by Jeffrey Epstein?!...

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

the current US administration is literally a plague

If you want to understand why rich guys are turning back to eugenics and recreating the rhetoric and theology of slavery, it’s because they know on some level this level of wealth inequality is unjustifiable bsky.app/profile/marl...

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

Writing is thinking.

It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

What the heck is “Western civilization” anyway?

Because the loudest self-proclaimed advocates disdain most Western philosophy, art, culture, institutions, and people. The only parts of Western civilization they seem to actually like are gothic architecture, ancient statues, and Camp of the Saints.

This Is What Destroying the Vaccine Market Looks Like A shocking move by RFK Jr.’s team has the industry spooked—for good reason.

A Trump administration official said Moderna might have more luck with its vaccine application if it resubmitted with a little “humility”

Does that sound like the “gold-standard science” RFK Jr. promised?

Or a mob boss threat?

Almost every deformity of our politics, economy and culture are downstream of this essential problem.

A key element of our great elite impunity problem is that the ultrawealthy avoid taxation, in simple and legal fashion. (Because we have the wrong definition of income in our obsolete tax code.)

Our society is broken.

“Stop, or I’ll yell stop another 4,400 times again” is not (only) a legal/judicial/Article III problem. It’s the total failure of Article I. The constitutional order is completely non-functional right now.

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.
