A billionaire leader of a baby breeding cult is the biggest money man in the Republican Party and bankrolled their current president and imagine if he were a democrat, how the media would focus on this

Every democrat in the senate voted for Rubio to be Secretary of State. Every single one. Even Bernie.

pretty much everything that has come out about Elon Musk makes Walter Isaacson look like a really shitty biographer.

I spent yesterday in my car driving across the Midwest listening to audiobooks. I have no idea what happened yesterday. I don't hate it.

Amazing logic that underpins our democracy!

Again, if the idea is that when someone in custody leaves the nation’s airspace there’s no way for a court to compel the state to return them—or exert any jurisdiction at all—then you’re simply saying whoever’s in power can fly people 100 miles offshore and push them out of helicopters into the sea.

This is why I think people in academia who use gAI to "write" are not people I would take seriously, in general. Why should I bother to read anything you produce, if you can't be bothered to value this process?

Re-reading Milton Meyers’s 1955 They Thought They Were Free, immersion journalism in the lives of 10 ordinary small town Nazis. So many chapters about how “decent” people look away I want everyone to read now. But, of course, that misses the point of the chapters…

I think we need to start using the word “evil” when describing our current government. Their actions are by design, not just the accidents made by incompetents.

Foreign Friends with Travel Plans to the U.S. for Conventions: A bit back I said you should maybe reconsider those plans. I would like to amend my prior statement. Cancel them. Cancel them now. We cannot keep you safe from our own government. Take your holiday in Spain or something.

I actually give this to my Intro students. They've all heard of Zimbardo in some way (usually from their Intro Psych courses) but rarely do they learn that it was pretty much bullshit from the start.

This seems like a good time to remind people that the Stanford Prison Experiment was based on fraudulent data. The "guards" were cruel to the prisoners because Zimbardo told them what he wanted to find with his research, and because they wanted to help him prove his point.

You ever notice how when right-wing terrorists commit terrorist acts, the police go really quiet on the motives and you never hear about it again? We need to hear more about what drove the rightwing terrorist who tried to burn Josh Shapiro and his family in their home to commit terrorist arson.

excited to see schumer's convoluted explanation of why when he said the goalpost was trump defying the supreme court he didn't mean defying the supreme court in exactly this way so this isn't the point of crisis that would compel him to act either

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Bukele doesn't "have something" on Trump. Trump isn't afraid to fight for Garcia's return. He doesn't want him returned. Trump and Bukele are engaged in a mutually-beneficial authoritarian partnership designed to profit off the destruction of legal protections. That's it. It isn't that hard.

"We're not monsters." The fuck you aren't Nazi. You're abducting people in the streets. You are a fucking monster. Name and shame these fuckers. Every decent person should shun anyone working at ICE or CBP. They are fucking monsters, every last one of them.

We're making progress, but he's not good at "building cars at rockets either" he's good at opportunistically cozying up to actual engineers then taking singular credit for their accomplishments using money he lucked into at paypal C- try again
