The Never Ending Pasta Bowl is right there.

I have never understood why Conde Nast makes it so hard for me to give them my money. Their online subscription site is every bit as bad as you say it is.

Remember when it used to be important to have an opinion on Camille Paglia?

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

see the thing about them all being the worst people in the world is that even when one of them gets killed they can't create a proper cult of martyrdom around him because the others get jealous he's getting all the attention.

Cannot connect how much you *really* don't want open violence to be the primary determination of government policy.
Because that shit does not end on some field. It ends in mass graves and refugee/IDP camps.

And you'll get Tarletons and Quantrills and Wirzes.

If you're lucky, it's "only" Sheridan.

Three times she’s been stopped and goons have demanded “show us your papers”.

And if they feel like it they smash your stuff, and pound on you; and all the while you know it’s going to happen again.

And you’ve done nothing more than be a person they felt like abusing.

What an interesting coincidence.

you’re never going to believe this. the woke left’s depraved war on christmas is escalating. sources tell me they’re planning to make the yuletide gay

An underrated part of why the AI discourse and hype feels so deranged is that some of us have object permanence and can recall things that happened within the last four years, while others appear to be playing make-believe games where nothing like this has ever happened before

you have to internalize this. you make this place worse when you don’t. Oh no they’ll say I couldn’t countenance rebuttal! Who gives a shit? They are not speaking in good faith! Give your time to people whose debate is actually in pursuit of knowledge! Not reply guys! Do this every day!

I cannot stress enough that is some rando responds to something you reposted trying to draw you into a “but have you considered” discussion of it, they are not acting in good faith, and you just block. Please, embrace the blue sky way. block. block. block.

The last time Texas Tech won an outright conference championship, Buddy Holly was in Lubbock to celebrate it.

Every legal story now is either

Text of the 13th Amendment: “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” The clause “except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted” is crossed out.

160 years ago, the 13th Amendment was ratified, ending slavery. But that amendment came with a sinister loophole: a Slavery Clause that allowed for slavery “as punishment for crime.”

We need to pass @repnikema.bsky.social’s and my Abolition Amendment to #EndTheException once and for all!

Are you old enough to have experienced K-State’s rise from the grave?

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Could one of the people complaining about the many, many posts demanding the immediate release of the Epstein Files please step up and re-assure this man?

An alternate history in which The Beatles never make it and 35-year-old Paul McCartney is a corporate jingle writer struggling to find the right sound for his new client, Mulligan Tyre.

"Just one more thing... Is that wall load bearing? It is? Well, how about that."

I really shouldn't have taken such a risk on Facebook being a stable platform for that long...

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.

I'm going to start pronouncing "Bluesky" as if it rhymes with "Brewski".

The Q for Republicans is even simpler: what is the law that authorized the use of force against these targets?

There’s no law. It doesn’t matter if it was drugs, puppies or Trump Steaks on the boat, it was an illegal strike that murdered several people

So did I! Morrill Tower '88-'89, Lantern staff '90, '91-'93

Three-year-old child forced to serve as her own attorney in Tucson immigration court More than a dozen undocumented minors were forced to make their case in front of an immigration judge as the Trump administration ramps up removal proceedings.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

Seriously I think this is the sell. When we say “this is how it’s done” it sounds prescriptive, people hate that. “You will like how it feels” is the winning message
