Begging oligarchs to provide for the basics is an important skill for kids to learn.

There’s an anti-woke backlash to the pop culture white libs consumed in the aughts. But the only thing I regret reading out professional class white liberal guilt is Hillbilly Elegy.

I would like to see Harrison Butker doink a field goal.

Get in losers, we are circling the drain.

I’m kind of excited to see how people will spin this false statement. Tuberville resigned from Texas Tech in 2012; Mahomes started at TT in 2014.

“I spent the weekend killing babies and spreading disease around the world, while destroying soft power and a tradition of aid for my adopted country, instead of going to parties! Yay for me!”

When there’s crime he blames Mexicans When there’s a pandemic he blames the Chinese When there’s police brutality he blames unarmed Black men When there’s a plane crash he blames women of color

Stop calling them jokes. Jokes require a level of humanity that many of these people are incapable of. They just think cruelty is funny.

leaving the cruelty aside for just a minute it's absolutely humiliating to imagine being my age or older and getting excited because you think you've been given permission to say a bad word. what are you gonna do next, ride your tricycle past the end of the block

interviewer: how are your listening skills? me: absolutely

I think telling kids not to call their peers the r-word is good.

Yes I am going to sneak in a few lessons about the Tuskegee Airmen to my 5th graders. Any good picture book/short story/article recommendations?

When Republicans call themselves a law-and-order party, they mean the law doesn’t apply to them because they’re giving the orders.

i can see how you would come to this conclusion if your job didn't require you to ever be correct

“So-called” is doing a lot of Orwellian work in this admin. So-called book bans. So-called bishop. So-called American citizens.

JD’s only in it for the money, so he assumes everyone else is too.

Trump gives top stormtrooper Stewart Rhodes a seat on stage at his speech, in case you thought he was done with January 6

Can’t wait til Megan McArdle explains how this, when taken in context, isn’t really a call for ethnic cleansing.

Tellingly, the first word of this article is “imagine.” That’s the best we’ll ever get from hyperloop.

Left: Allen, TX mall neo-Nazi spree killer Right: new Secretary of Defense

When it came to schools, the Founding Fathers didn't agree on much. But one thing they all agreed on was this: America could not allow a church--any church--to run a public school. MAGA dreams would overthrow American tradition. [Free link]: wapo.st/4hwsKLN

The resist Lib wine moms were right about pretty much everything. But they’re still cringe.

How it started. How it’s going.

He explicitly compares AI to a carnival mind reader at the outset of the piece. Hucksterism all the way down!

These are the same people who always whine about the “nanny state”. Turns out they just wanted a daddy state.

If your faith doesn’t lead you to hate other faiths, then it’s not real faith, according to Flanagan. (The National Gurdwara is literally across the street from the National Cathedral.)

Anyone who calls it this is a deeply unserious person.

If you made this argument back in the day you were smugly dismissed as an economically illiterate lefty. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This entire project is *very expliclty* about fully purging black people and women from huge swaths of public life, employment and education. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Can’t be a proper fascist without a paramilitary.

Something we'll be hearing more and more I think

Good.

The media believed the lie that Trump moderated on abortion. Anti-abortion activists knew the truth.

Better leave for work early to gas up. Long lines at the pump because of the energy emergency we’re in.

The Washington Post editorial this morning essentially equating Biden's questionable pardons with Trump's outrageous Jan. 6 pardons was unconscionable. The newspaper I've been part of for 48 years has utterly lost its soul.

Rooting for someone to lose their job is not okay.

Anti-semitism will not be tolerated in any form. Except for the most famous form of all time. That one is probably a coincidence

Tattling on coworkers is not okay.

I’m just glad that my faith in humanity isn’t alive to see any of this.

I think the Silk Road guy should go back to jail for using a pseudonym from The Princess Bride.
