If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

The fact they're simultaneously running don't vote campaigns and trying to undermine the dem candidate is proof that the moneybags who own these publications are united in realizing their robber baron days are drawing to a close under a guy who is the most pro labour president of the 21st century

those arguing that taylor swift can't be a role model because she is an unmarried and childless woman at 34 are doing a great job of arguing that children need more women role models who are unmarried and childless at 34

Ultimately, defamation law is a tool. Like many tools, it's subject to abuse. And, like many tools, it's important to know what the tool can and can't do. One of the things it can't do is prevent harm to your reputation. Trying to use it that way is rarely going to end well.

But, you ask, what about she-who-shall-not-be-named? She threatens defamation actions all the time, and it works. And she does, and it does. Because JKR is vindictive, wants to hurt people who anger her, has the money to do it, and doesn't really give a damn about her reputation.

I've been seeing people saying that because JK Rowling routinely uses UK libel law to silence critics, Gaiman's failure to immediately do so shows his guilt. That's incorrect, and I think it's worth talking about why - it goes to important facets of defamation law abuse. š§µāļø

That is such a massively shitty thing to do. Some people had to put out an alert about a cosplayer at sdcc last year. The b was so determined to wear her outfit she strutted around sans mask blowing positive air at everyone. smdh for entitled, thoughtless, deliberately harmful jerks.

Donāt recall much in the way of neighborhood frwks as a Bay Area kid. More big official shows & watching Pops back east. Local fireworks tending more toward spinny/whizzy colorful low ground stuff than loud booms. Definitely more concern re setting weeds/etc on fire than v now w/ landscaped yards

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

Trump thinks idiots who would do his bidding are weak and disgusting. He thinks they are fools and wont pardon anyone unless already personal friend or he sees potential for them to help him in the future. Fools who would do dirty for him will be shafted in the same manner as all his contractors.

This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.

FASORP is apparently a big fan of hiring based upon the rank of the school which the candidate graduated. That's not a coincidence. Schools that keep engaging in that practice need to ask themselves what they are perpetuating. Maybe do some soul-searching. Hopefully.

I'm incredibly bullish on America's future. I get it's a bit hard to see these days--the death throes of unpopular authoritarianism is pretty scary and there are real problems in the immediate term--but I definitely think America's best days are still very much ahead.

Listen to the Biden interview. Its 15ish minutes of Biden talking extemporaneously perfectly well. But like several other public events over the last several days, this is getting brushed aside because the narrative that political news media wants to go with is set.

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.
