My American friends have often (gently) teased me about the ever-changing French constitution and institutions that “don’t stick”. But culture changes. Context changes. Making it to 250 isn’t a virtue if it doesn’t serve. And it’s not serving right now.

I think this is the first time I've lived walking distance from a grocery store and I'm out of my mind about it. I'll walk there several times a day. Oh did I forget to grab something? No big deal I'll simply Walk To The Store

Right now, there’s a lady standing alone outside the Burbank airport with a sign that says “Avelo is helping Trump kidnap people and send to foreign countries without due process”. She is what makes America great. www.npr.org/2025/04/30/g...

I think this comes from a good place but I disagree. A common thread in deradicalization stories is stigma: Once people start losing friends and jobs they reconsider their beliefs. Obviously you should try to be nice to people but you also need to draw a line where you won’t engage anymore.

"Huitema is more of a playmaker now" - Jordan Angeli on the Seattle-KC broadcast, echoing Laura Harvey's recent comments. Maybe the data is missing something, but by passing and dribbling possession value relative to position, Huitema has been the worst everyday player in the NWSL this season.

PSA: If you choose to submit a novel research talk to one of the top security conferences in the world, maybe check your proposal text all the way through so "Claude may make mistakes. Please check your answers." isn't the final line.

I also had to tell people when I wrote about this that no, I am not joking, the Republican AGs argument is literally 'FDA approval of the abortion pill wrongfully deprives us the population growth and federal funds that we would get if pregnant teens gave birth' ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Institutions take years to build up and can be destroyed very quickly, and so the burden of proof should be on anyone who wishes to make changes. It's come to something when progressives need to insist on this conservative wisdom while the ruling authoritarian anarcho-capitalists wield chainsaws.

Because the reporting across outlets hasn’t mentioned it I want to stress that Justice Jackson referenced the courageous & resolute stance of federal judges J. Shelly Wright in Louisiana and Frank Johnson in Alabama who issued school desegregation orders in the face of “Massive Resistance” to Brown.

i will say again that given the trajectory of the white house so far, strident opposition a la 2017 would have absolutely been the most prudent and effective decision and the absence of that opposition in the first two months made things demonstrably worse.

One of those things were something has to change when player morale is so low. I don’t think Lorne Donaldson is specifically the problem in Chicago, but the Stars need to rethink their entire operation or what was the entire point of your rebrand?

Jeez. A lot of what we associate with the Sega sound of the '80s and '90s came from this guy. Going to feel like a punctuation mark at the end of an era as more of these early pioneers in game sound, design, and coding retire in the next 5-10 years.

There are few things as cost effective as Narcan, especially in a country where (entirely preventable) opioid overdoses have been a leading cause of death for years. For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone
