This is one of the most profound essays I’ve read in years. You don’t need me to tell you that Hanif Abdurraqib is one of the finest writers of our time, but this essay in particular is a hard-won offering. Please read it and share with people you love.

What's happening here is the guy clearly knows that the described behavior is illegal but also knows the president wants him to do it so he won't get the job unless he does it but he's not smart enough to find a way to claim a legal excuse for this illegal activity so he's cornered

I'm not certain anything is as difficult to pack for as a week in Indianapolis around the 500 mile race with in-between weather predicted. I need race wear, formal wear, casual day wear, clothes for visiting-my-great-aunt, and everything in between. Prayers up!

Yeah, a good rule of thumb is that Sen. Warren is almost certainly wrong about what will protect consumers...

I keep being like "man the vibes are crazy at Indy this year" and then I remember the time Scott Dixon got mugged at Taco Bell on pole day and I start to think maybe this is just what Indy means

Well, not sure on the complimentary to insulting I'd rank these fictional character matches in the quiz going viral but I guess I'll take them!

This is what's cool about IndyCar fans in general. While most of us have drivers we love (and despise), there's a shared sense that the spectacle is what we root the most for.

Pedro Pascal at Cannes speaks on America's political chaos: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don't let them win."

The law professors who are arguing against birthright citizenship in the US are reinventing a common law decision from 1677 about allegiance and aliens that was pivotal for creating a common law of slavery in England’s empire. — a logic recreated in Dred Scot. — rejected by 14th amendment.

Trump absolutely did not write this. "His skin is all atrophied" is a major tell. That just isn't his voice at all.

One purpose of the 14A was to upend the twisted logic of the Dred Scott decision, which in part claimed Black folks could be enslaved because they weren't citizens. The 14th reverses that, to say that because people are citizens, they cannot be slaves. It is, thus, very much not "about slavery."
