Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

So much for meritocracy.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book I am coming around to the idea that it was by far the most realistic

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

“scrub your website of trans people to save your funding” MIGHT seem like the rational choice when it’s put to you, but if you agree the main lesson they learn is that you can be strong armed

I want you all to care about trans people enough to complain about our tragedies just like when a game isn’t getting a physical release or when planes stop landing safely or when eggs are ridiculously expensive I want you to get the same level of upset when trans lives are targeted

The words and actions of America’s leaders show they believe that having dark skin or having a vagina is a reason a person shouldn’t be allowed to pilot a plane, while having a drinking or drug problem is not. That’s their priority, and they’re fine with the flying public suffering the consequences.

We're gonna look back on this era and be so baffled and infuriated about how much time the media spent complaining about DEI trainings. Yes some of them are silly but overall, companies recruiting minorities and trying to create less hostile workplaces is good!

when Trump burst onto the scene just saying “I’m going to do the best things,” all the savvy pundits laughed - your lies need to be better than that! but they do not

Did the @nytimes.com really quote the mf-ing communications director of the Houston YOUNG REPUBLICANS as if he were just some random young Black person who likes Trump? Cause it sure looks like it.

to my left-leaning law prof friends who attend fed doc events, I want to put something to you. if you found yourself initially pulling your punches about wurman, or worse, defending him early, I want you to consider who is actually having their mind changed and how by your attendance at these events

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

I’ll say this about the NBA. You can complain about the effort or the trade demands or the missed games or whatever. I take solace in knowing that the majority of the athletes in my favorite sports league aren’t Nazi sympathizers. Can’t say the same for baseball or football or American hockey.

everyone who gets in bed with trump ends up screwed but nonetheless a significant portion of political media did the “but it might work for us” bit, truly incredible given the amount of times he talked about them as the enemy and traitors.

Nate Silver 🤝 Noah Smith Knowing nothing about the past, skimming Wikipedia and not doing the reading, and assuming they’ve invented a new way of understanding human history

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.
