I love this and dig this color but when oh when will epaulettes make a comeback? They’d look perfect on this jacket!

Adam Liptak should be fired for this. It's not some sort of minor technical error or a debatable issue. He's simply lying.

I was a senior in high school when I read it some 30 years ago, so I’m gonna forgive myself for enjoying that one!

There was a twitter account a while back that roasted the hell out of that book by simply posting excerpts from it. It was glorious.

The new anti-Biden conspiracy is that there will be a massive cover up of his health status if he’s re-elected? And we’re supposed to reason with these folks?

So I want to talk about this from the perspective of someone who does professional fact checking as part of my work. For some years now I have been paid to check TV and written content themed around animals to make sure it is factually accurate. Chat GPT & AI has made that job so much harder.

This morning on sports radio they were asking what Denzel’s worst movie is and one of them said Tragedy of MacBeth and a couple others agreed. Did we watch the same movie?!

More and more people whose judgment I trust examining flaws in polling so I’m feeling less and less like a conspiracy theorist these days. Still trying to be cautious about believing what I want to hear tho.

Trump gets BY FAR the most generous press (relative to performance) of any politician in my lifetime. Just absolutely wild shit.

Biden seems to have mastered something that escaped university presidents: you don’t have to do what the NYT tells you. You can just … not do that.

I don’t think it will happen, but the second it does, the media would go full throttle on how she didn’t earn her nomination and relentlessly attempt to prove she’s not qualified or ready. They’ll concern troll about it being unfair to put her in this position.

Say what you will about the various Democratic party actors in the fight over whether Biden stays on the ticket, but I can understand all of their behavior much better than I can the journalists who are trying to write their way into the camps

The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s new liberal majority has reinstated the expanded use of mail ballot drop boxes. It reversed the prior right-wing majority’s 2022 ban on such drop boxes, which were expanded due to the pandemic in 2020, when Joe Biden narrowly won Wisconsin

have said this before but trump’s brain is pretty obviously far more cooked than biden’s if you listen to what they actually say. but the presentation - basically trump being a spaz - makes trump *look and sound* less cooked to many people i think

There are good polls and bad polls but I don’t see how any pollster relying on phone calls is able to provide a representative sample with these kinds of numbers. It’s not a criticism of any one pollster, just an unfortunate reality.

You want this SCOTUS deciding if the party replaced its candidate legally? That’s a much bigger gamble than sticking with Biden imo.
