What a summary of the anti-trans movement: March 23rd: female fencer competes in mixed-gender event, beating several male competitors, finishing 8th March 30th: same fencer films herself telling trans competitor “I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man,” collects $5000

The trade war will undoubtedly hurt the Chinese economy. But I honestly don’t think Xi cares. He sees this correctly, as a historic opportunity to destroy U.S. global influence.

Important context (also, if you click through you can see the article they reference, which explains that, no, they're not actually dire wolves either.)

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to certain items cease to be available at any price

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t you try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

This is what I keep coming back to - we just can't get our heads around how broken so much is so fast, and how long rebuilding will take, even to an absolute bare minimum of function. And if someone gets an opportunity to try and fix it, our goldfish voters are unlikely to let them try.

Liberal democracy is good for business. If we were still a liberal democracy, Congress would not be beholden to a Mad King and have shut down this trade war nonsense before it got off the ground. We won't fix our economic problems until we address our democracy problems 1/x

Major shoutout to local National Weather Service offices who have issued literally hundreds and hundreds of tornado / severe thunderstorm / flood warnings in just the past 36 hours alone. Most offices are doing this amid staff shortages. SPC / WPC teams doing amazing work, too. Scientists matter.

And if a letter that says “[w]e are all acutely concerned that severe challenges to the rule of law are taking place, and we strongly condemn any effort to undermine the basic norms we have described" can alienate "conservative students", then THEY SHOULD NOT BE LAWYERS.

Woke up, remembered that Schumer barreled in and stepped all over whatever Booker had planned for the moment when he passed Thurmond, immediately started ranting like Pacino in Glengarry Glen Ross.

I know a thousand people have talked about this, but I think it is worth repeating: AI is destroying knowledge & heritage. I was looking up Hokkaido indigenous people and obvious AI images were returned. But they had wrong features, wrong tattoos, wrong clothes all mixed w correct clothes.
