Problem being, with sufficient time horizon, every healthy person eventually becomes "not healthy" and gets very mad if they are denied care

Pretty soon we're going to actually *need* Surveillance Culture to prove that we couldn't possibly have been doing the things that AI Revenge Porn Culture says we did

It’s only war crimes if there’s a declared war going on. Otherwise it’s just sparkling atrocities

Played six years of American football in 7-12th grades, and then rugby in college and grad school (in fact if you were on that Vassar team fall ‘02 we played you first round of NERFU). I can still watch American football if I have a rooting interest, but find rugby a much more enjoyable game

skeleton key is pointing to shadow docket. ” unexplained and contradicting shadow docket opinions are causing huge confusion in the court system. Clearly the justices are overworked. We need to add Judges at all levels of the system to make sure everyone gets a speedy trial and a sensible result”

Data point of two, but my parents apologized to me for voting for Trump

I'm 45, so for me, kinda both?

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Those last two sentences? They apply to everything.

Been saying it since 2016

This is why I howled during ’08-‘09 when they said “there’s no shovel ready projects”. pumping Money into upgrading existing transmission lines is quickest way to add capacity to grid, and every utility could come up with a list of $1B+ of economic upgrades

Why aren't Dem sens howling about this right now to build a pre-text to expand the court? "If the supreme court is too busy to actually write down their opinions, perhaps we need to lighten their workload across a broader membership of their court"

How has Tim Bontemps not started a podcast titled “Laissez Le Bontemps Roulez” send skeet

I’m 45. I’m going to be voting against Trump, hopefully merely metaphorically, for the rest of my goddam life (my grandad lived to 91, my dad is 78 and still skiing 50 days a year so figure I’ve got 20 more federal elections in me)

It’s making part of me wish away what are the last years of childhood for my kids and that fills me with incandescent rage

Which way, America?

What I wouldn’t give for a @jamellebouie.net suggested anthology on the Civil War and Reconstruction - this one will be next up for me at the library

Back when I had facebook, I was witness to a political debate where one party brought a number of highly sourced data points to the discussion. The response from the other party was "Oh yeah? Here are some memes to illustrate why I'm right."
