I saw birth control pills over the counter in Costco last week. Renewables are the second biggest source of energy in the US. Don't tell me nothing good ever happens.

What a goal by Watkins. England haven’t been the best team at Euros but they have been the most clutch. 90 +5 and 91 vs Slovaks; 80 and then 5/5 PKs vs Swiss; and now 90 vs Dutch.

Pro tip: call the Project 2025 1-800 number and complain about it to them. The people answering the phones don’t seem to know what the plan even is.

I hope people realize that if Trump is elected the only way he is leaving office is in a pine box. He will run for reelection in 2028 and SCOTUS will say under Trump v Anderson the states don’t have the power to disqualify him, only Congress can.

Since US v Trump there is no such thing as “frivolous litigation” when it comes to SCOTUS and Trump.

I have this thing now that whenever I see obvious AI I’m compelled to spot the obvious flaws. I spotted three on the treadmill at my gym: fucked up right hand of blue shirt; racket colour of blue shirt; racket position of grey shirt. Why do companies use this crap? Are stock images that expensive?

Among these, I always get stuck on the Senate filibuster. It did not exist in any form while the Framers were alive. The current form, in which a Senator can stop a bill permanently without doing anything, did not exist until the 1970s. But it's treated as sacrosanct.

I don’t know what it’s like now. The last few years we only stay in houses/condos on ski trips and that’s always Vrbo. But with small kids, house/condo rental is miles better than hotels.

Yeah. To get a comparable suite at a hotel to what a house is like you’d spend in a night what the house cost for a week. Or you’re crammed into a hotel room stressed that your baby won’t stop crying.

I fully concede all the problems with AirBnb and haven’t stayed in one for a while but when our kids were younger, I can’t even describe how much better house rentals were than hotels.

There's definitely a techbro follymath vibe with some of the court's recent conservative opinions. Only instead of pronouncing themselves experts after reading a few Wikipedia pages, it's after thumbing through a Claremont amicus brief.

I can’t remember who said it, but some of the best political analysis I’ve ever seen is that the GOP wins elections when they promise racism and lose them when they promise to impose crazy Christian shit on average white people.

The Republican platform walks back extremist policies on abortion and gay marriage, but affirms Trump’s promise to deport 12 million people, or three percent of the population. This is their priority, and it’s going to be horrific.

could do a bunch of stories about how dangerous and corrupt it is that we have no idea who was visiting the white house while trump was president but "there's no story there" precisely because Trump did the unethical and non-transparent thing. Whoops!

The press using the white house visitor logs to write up (apparently false) attacks on Biden after Biden published visitor logs and Trump didn't: good illustration of the reward for upstanding and ethical behavior in the current media environment.

Well, well, well. WELL. That whole “protests made cops feel bad so they all quit” narrative? Looks like it was mostly myth. Excited to read this paper by Ben Grunwald, who compiled a huge dataset on post-2020 police employment. Agg decline was 1%… and bigger local declines not tied to protests.

I once wrote a fact check of a Morgan Spurlock book. He included what he said was a direct quote from the FDA that aspartame causes cancer. I checked the footnote. An FDA newsletter did publish that claim — but *only to specifically refute it*. That’s basically how Barrett quotes Madison here.

Noticed English-speaking Euro announcers are using the Turkish spelling and pronunciation of Turkey. This is a new thing, no? Seems fine, though they aren’t calling Germany “Deutschland,” for example. Just curious what prompted the change.

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.

Reagan was widely perceived as a senile incompetent—that’s why the classic SNL skit “Ronald Reagan: Mastermind” was funny.

Can someone explain to me the Raptors’ plan? Their starting lineup is IQ RJ Scottie Olynyk Poeltl, plus Brown Dick Boucher Mitchell. They only have $10M under the luxury tax and no high end prospects. They are probably a 30-40 win team with no real shot at the top of the lottery or the standings.

I guess I just think at the end of the day in the GOP the moneyed interests win out over the racist interests. I think they want slavery not an all white state. But I could be wrong.

He’s a fascist but deporting 10 million people simply isn’t possible and his money men don’t want it. Trust me this isn’t me thinking the best of him. He will try in some incompetent way but this is about indentured servitude.

It’s been consistently true over the last fifteen years that people, relatively calmly, sounding the alarm about an incoming political or social catastrophe have been quite rudely dismissed by what you could call the Sensible Liberal Class and then immediately proven right. Few learn a lesson.
