To put things in context: Three weeks ago, it felt like every institution was folding. Like nobody was standing up except the American people, like we were calling our representatives and nothing was happening.

Reminder that one of the three great consistent rules of Trump is that he will always back down if directly confronted (the others are that he never keeps a promise and that he will always betray anyone who helps him)

Here and elsewhere I'm seeing talk of firing many or even all civilian professors at the US Air Force Academy. Having known and worked with them, these are extraordinarily talented scholars who provide the cadets an exceptional education. Once again, everything this fucking guy does benefits Putin.

pretty much everything that has come out about Elon Musk makes Walter Isaacson look like a really shitty biographer.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Gonna take this opportunity to say that I can personally deliver no script for as little as 7 million, and I know some other writers who can do it for as little as five million.

Not a single time in this article glorifying the need for sprawl to address the US's affordable housing crisis is there a mention of the vast transportation costs of sprawling living patterns. Nor is there mention of the fact that sprawl is directly linked to disinvestment in urban cores.

Steven Spielberg has spent his entire career warning us about the dangers of dinosaurs and Nazis and I personally think we should have brought back the dinosaurs instead

This shouldn’t be controversial but I’m against a police state abducting and deporting men they claim are bad dudes not because I can find a few I don’t know much about who I can claim are actually good dudes. I don’t care what kind of dude. My problem is with police state abductions.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

JUST IN: I was watching an Anchorage school board race tonight, because candidate Alexander Rosales had a history of transphobic statements like “Ban trans kids.” He is losing handily in the first waves of returns. www.adn.com/alaska-news/...

It pains me there are younguns who weren’t there to see what an absolute piece of shit Storm Thurmond was his whole life, stinking up the Senate and America like a turd in a punch bowl until 2003. 2003.

As with Republican corruption, so too with Democratic courage - the question has changed from "will someone?" to "who's next?"

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

Polls are now closed in the 6th district of Florida, which is the one that has gotten more attention. Expect early voting results (which will be bluer than the final result) shortly.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
