i have been reading dan sinker since i was a teenaged punk in the 1990s and he is worth it to follow and read because he is an excellent writer, and this is no exception. he also does approximately thirty other projects that are also fun to follow.

The thing I think a bunch of the Project 2025 assholes seem to have forgotten is that Shock and Awe is not good military doctrine

The kicker on this piece is so good, I can’t just skeet it out, you’ll just have to read it!

Saw a great movie today in which a Nazi gets stabbed, thought you all might be interested: Army of Shadows is a bleak and desperate spy flick about the French resistance. It’s heavy and it’s about taking action for a greater cause in the face of personal hopelessness. I loved it but it is bleak.

sorry to be so self-promoting, but after all of these conversations i'm having with current and former federal workers, i'm going to have a lot to say about this kind of attitude from musk and from conservatives in the weeks to come.

I keep thinking about that claim that DOGE is working up a full government org chart and how they actually don't understand that OPM isn't in the place on that org chart that they think it is

The lawsuits that come out of this clusterfuck if they do start terminating civil servants for their responses or nonresponses are going to consume DOJ’s personnel for the rest of time

"I have wrestled with the Devil as Jacob wrestled with the angel in Peniel, and I tell you, if we are to tame darkness we must first face that it exists" I think Eggers has more on his mind here than just adding the cinematic vampire canon, you know?

Trump is anathema to almost everyone who programs and attends shows at the Kennedy Center, so this is not a surprise, but it still sucks for a lot of people (including a bunch of Trump voters on the IATSE side who are also getting their hours cut).

Oh, I completely agree with this, “tell me what you did last week” is just another way to say “I’m moving the performances goalposts beyond what you are currently doing”

This company is toast. The markets will take way longer to react to this than they should, but there’s no coming back for this brand. It’s dead in Europe, it’s not competitive in China, they are absolutely hosed.

One thing that Trump has never managed to reconcile is that, yes, he gets to say outrageous and frequently false things online, even as President, but those words also show up in court, even when he really need wants to be using different ones

Chris Geidner at Law Dork nails it: "The mere fact of litigating can change implementation of policy to improve its application to those affected.... Failing to challenge illegal & unconstitutional actions means that Trump & his team will go forward & do more. That is not an option." ⚖️

I remain aghast at the staggering ignorance that comes from asking literally millions of people to summarize there work for people who know fucking nothing about it. And he did it in an email over the weekend. The arrogant stupidity of it is almost as big as duder's ego

This is a more plausible legal theory than the major questions doctrine AND Roberts' theory of the executive, so I say, LFG, make it stick

“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.” –Howard Zinn. I hate seeing my fellow Americans afraid. Remember your birthright my friends. This is our country, our government, the people’s, not theirs. Don’t be afraid. Speak your minds! Don’t ever give up your power.

Look, I think Elon Musk is pretty dumb, but there's no way a cryptobro believes this at all, this is some bullshit you tell a guy who wants ANY justification at all for rigging elections

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us
