Perhaps the reason for the most hope is that the public seems to be rejecting the Republican news environment prevalent across virtually all media. Voters aren't falling for it, as overwhelming as it has felt to watch our institutions fall. They can handle the truth!

For the second time in the past week, I almost got ran over crossing the street at a marked crosswalk by a distracted driver who only braked when I screamed.

i really wish our law enforcement and media werent telegraphing to mass shooters that messages written on bullets will be breathlessly and uncritically publicized with no further examination

Shortest splitline or bust. Humans need to be totally out of the loop.

Hehe I kid -- I think it more directly goes back to whichever MTV execs originally greenlit "The Real World"

CBS News should just change their name to Trump News, cause after the bribe that’s all it is.

Sometimes MA Dems temporarily unregister to make strategic votes in the GOP primary, especially when the Dem primary is a foregone conclusion. Not a fan of Kraft, but let's be fair here.

The Present Crisis and the End of the Long '90s The constitutional settlement that governed America from the end of the Volcker Shock in 1982 to the re-election of Donald Trump in 2024 encompassed three profound domains: politics, economics, and cu...

This analysis is pretty spot-on:

Very similar thing happened with the joint Rutgers/UMDNJ program 20 years ago. UMDNJ faculty didn’t want to let go of molecular biology requirements for students doing a more systems/psych focus. There was no resolution and the programs split (and then for unrelated reasons UMDNJ closed).

I’m surprised I’m not seeing more panic from the publishing industry - this seems like a really big deal

Been really feeling the “first 15 minutes of a disaster movie where the day-to-day is still normal but hints are being dropped left and right” vibes this past week or so. COVID TP aside, empty shelves just aren’t something the US population has lived through.

"Is the Pope Catholic?" would cease to be a rhetorical question.

Especially needed since Starbucks is tightening its policies and closing stores.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

"three tech stocks in a trenchcoat"

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Anything can be abused if people aren't acting in good faith, which is sort of the crux of the issue here.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Seems accurate

Tweet from the world's dumbest fascist reading: there is a shortage of top notch air traffic controllers. If you have retired, but are open to returning to work, please consider doing so.

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

How do we confront that the well has been poisoned against most good policy ideas to where they bring kneejerk dismissals as being "socialism", and it's common to consider "socialism" as inherently bad? Just so much conditioning to have to undo...

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Wasn't strictly true in neuroscience as of 5 years ago, but people were making major shifts toward using females as a result of this now apparently rescinded rule.
