The other day I heard Bluesky described as a "discourse diaspora community" and I haven't been able to shake it as the skeleton key to the form and shape of conversations here. Everyone is sitting at the emigre cafe reading reports of the same dispatches from Old Twitter, idly dreaming of the fall.

Gov. Pritzker's letter to Donald Trump demanding a refund on tariffs.

Cut the check, Donald Trump.

Is there any time, place, or context in which a government hanging enormous banners of the Leader’s face was not a sign of a diseased and authoritarian society? Because I certainly can’t think of one.

Prince Andrew to seek asylum in the United States and join Donald Trump’s cabinet to avoid further persecution.

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Okay when Roberts says Trump Tariffs Illegal by 6-3 that's not just reading the law that's him aware of polling which will have the GOP go fully extinct by 2030 if Trump is not checked on at least one issue

These interviews with former Obama administration officials underscore a mistake none of them will express bluntly.

They gravely overestimated the character of the American people. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

Everywhere around the world, they're comin' to America . . . for the buckshot and black lung and bluegrass and bad teeth

everyone loves America's Scots-Irish culture, which is why so many people migrate straight to Appalachia?

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

Jury deadlocked in the trial of Stanford students charged after pro-Palestinian protests in 2024 A judge has declared a mistrial in the trial of five current and former Stanford University students charged after pro-Palestinian protests in 2024.

A judge has declared a mistrial in the felony prosecution against Stanford students who were arrested in connection with their pro-Palestinian activism. Now would be a great time for Stanford to do what it should have done long ago: tell the DA to drop the charges. apnews.com/article/stan...

no, it simply isnt.
People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

The Age of Noir Our obsession with humanity's dark side

My latest post on Substack. There's a lot of entertainment out there that is on the darker side. Why our obsession with the underside of human life? It's something about the darkness of these times...

Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit
