While we’re on founding fathers, I think people actually underrate the Gothic horror of Jefferson and Sally Hemings. She was his slave, she was also his dead wife’s much younger half sister as a result of Jefferson’s father in law raping his slave.

He spent much of 2024 claiming that he was done with political spending while he was spending literally hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Trump. You have to be a grade A mark to take his claims that he's stepping away from anything at face value

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Whether Elon Musk is serious about leaving whatever the fuck he was doing, everyone should remember that in the early stages of DOGE, he and his teenage accomplices ransacked, copied, and absconded with almost every US citizen’s most private information. The largest crime spree in history.

as scott adams also announced he has prostate cancer, there’s going to be an entire generation of gen x that just dies younger due to trusting snake oil salesmen over real doctor practices endorsed by an entire political party designed to lie to them

"I'd crusade if the new Pope asked me to" wow, cool. What if he asked you to love and protect immigrants

people need to internalize, very quickly, that federal research grants are a hypercompetitive contracting process not charity, and that what Uncle Sam gets in return for that money is American dominance in the future

I mean it couldn’t fucking matter less whether Trump does something to benefit the Qataris, thought he already has and certainly will again. What matters is that the actual Constitution — not some obscure law — flatly explains that he cannot accept a nice fountain pen much less a fucking airplane.

I heard Stephen A. Smith tell CNN yesterday that "people are afraid they're going to lose their job for messing up a pronoun" and it really amazes me how many people don't realize they are awash in intentional propaganda designed to make them afraid of the wrong things and angry at the wrong people

"Lot of people saying Sacred Heart has diarrhea." "Okay, we apologize for our crowd mic." The ESPNU broadcast of the Sacred Heart-Siena MAAC men's lacrosse championship game Saturday took a turn.

We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money. I refuse to understand the ecosystem I'm in the center of and I will not leave or modify my behavior. We need leftist McNuggets

“A Financial Times analysis of more than 350,000 posts on X related to the election, gathered since the snap poll was announced in March, revealed a network of co-ordinated accounts pushing content to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish his counterpart, the Liberal’s Mark Carney.”

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...
