I don’t want to make too much of it and make her uncomfortable, but i finally got to meet @emily.gorcen.ski and it was really good. She’s chill and sweet and scary smart. Grateful. 🙏

As major American cities brace for potential terrorist attacks in retaliation against the U.S. air strikes on Iran, it’s reassuring to know that Trump just appointed a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention. 🥺

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was not a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who was a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

A lot of people are underestimating how long it'll take to undo all the damage Trump is and has inflicted on our entire society and political system. It's more than just damaging laws and SC decisions; our entire system of political norms and civic virtue is dead. You don't rebuild that quickly.

Goddamnit. Tell me I don’t have to respect Tucker Carlson just a little. Do not tell me I have to hand it or any tiny part of it to him.

If someone throws a can of soup at a riot cop who's attacking them we have three months of discourse about non-violence meanwhile the Right has been carrying out assassinations for my entire life and there's never any of that shit directed towards them Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

There are certainly a lot of fanciful ideas about what "deradicalization" is. people imagine that experts go into groups and pull people out by de-brainwashing them. The reality is that people decide they want to get out and seek out those who understand them for social / community assistance.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

Both anecdotally and in polling, liberals appear more open to left-wing policies than before. Democrats having no leader(s) means you can make progressive points to them without besmirching their faves. This is what made critiquing Obama from the left so difficult, politically.

Darren Beattie has mocked me for (repeatedly) asking who funded his junk news website -- these kinds of entanglements are why an answer on that front would be nice! www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

if you wanna have an aneurysm may i suggest re-reading op-eds in mainstream outlets written in the wake of charlottesville in 2017 - the false equivalency drawn between nazis & antifa was egregious then, but holy fuck is it egregious to read now

All these anti-woke warriors have conversion narratives that involve them getting triggered by the smallest shit imaginable. In this case, a routine email most of us would skim (at best) becomes "a sweeping directive" she "bristled" at, a dire threat that became her origin story. It's ludicrous.

A 25-year-old DOGE bro at the CFPB held $715,000 in stocks that ethics lawyers told him he wasn’t allowed to own while working there — then DOGE fired those ethics lawyers. This is corruption. Always call it out.
