The reason you don't have time to write unit tests is because you didn't write unit tests.

To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history? There's a simple answer. The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

I truly believe part of the reason this is happening in LA right now is because they want to scare us into not protesting for no Kings day. DT is actually worried he’s gonna lose the news cycle so he wants to make sure everyone is too scared. 1/2

Rift Widens Between Elon Musk, Anyone Who Ever Met Him

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

If I can be real for a moment, what frightens me most right now is that David Brooks is more upset about Trump-Musk than many, maybe most, liberal pundits and Democratic leaders are.

Defining liberal American Jews - which is the majority of us - out of Jewishness entirely is how the American right reconciles its philosemitic support for The Jew as idealized figure with its barely concealed disdain and disgust for most actual American Jews.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

A striking thing in my con law class was the Bush terror detention cases. They start out very permissive, but over time the court limits Bush more. My con law prof asked what we thought was happening. People guessed at a lot of legal theories. “No!” he said. “The court stopped trusting him.”

Ten years ago today I went to 7-Eleven for a Bring Your Own Cup Day armed with a large bucket and filled it with Coca-Cola Slurpee, which I finished over the course of four hours. Anyway, don't do that.

Minor thing I keep thinking about: Free trade agreements are notoriously excruciating to negotiate. Hundreds of unions and special-interest groups go to the mattresses over a thousand finicky provisions in a dozen+ rounds of negotiations. Takes years! Trump unilaterally torched 14 FTAs last week.

DO NOT MISTAKE EARNESTNESS FOR A THING TO BE AFRAID OF. “Cringe” or s too often simply just the word used to mask the discomfort that comes with being vulnerable! It’s okay to feel vulnerable about being earnest about important issues in the world!

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements
