Fucking scheming-ass eunuchs

I fucking hate the American culture of entitled asshole selfishness. you see it everywhere. the driver assholes going 90 in a school zone. the assholes who don’t leash their dog or pick up their dog shit. the assholes who litter. the assholes who won’t vaccine their kids

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Islam: the Original Judeo-Christian Concept

It’s wild that we’re living through Trump 2 and people are still acting like all the admin and legal and logistics jobs are “bullshit”.

We’re seeing very clearly what happens when you rip all of that out of large organizations.

These jobs are literally about navigating complex social systems.

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

Bingo

I gather you all say Martin Heidegger is an antisemitic Nazi philosopher.

So who here actually knew about Hannah Arendt?

I am very clever.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

The Atlantic IDEAS IN DEFENSE OF EFFEMINATE BOYS If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don't know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

I’m sure at some point The Atlantic’s “IDEAS” vertical will get around to having a second idea, but until that point I don’t feel the plural is really earned

You know you’re an elder millennial quantitative social scientist when this confusion is about “ML”.

Is it… Machine Learning? Maximum Likelihood? Marxist-Leninist?

This story is the WASPiest thing on earth (laudatory).

RACE CALL:

All three North Carolina Democrats (Shelly Willingham, Nasif Majeed, & Carla Cunningham) who voted to overturn Governor Josh Stein's vetoes have LOST their respective Democratic primaries

Reza Pahlavi was probably so psyched when the Oracle of Delphi told him “American intervention is going to make a nepo baby the supreme leader of Iran”

A Cambodian American woman has been elected to the Massachusetts Senate, yet another reminder that regardless how much you like one of his books, Noam Chomsky was friends with Epstein and a Killing fields truther.

I see you already heard from Daniel about roles at the Wikimedia Foundation, but happy to answer any questions I can as well!

I mean, we’re in a constitutional crisis anyway, so the New York Court of Appeals might as well just say, “The Supreme Court doesn’t have jurisdiction to enter a stay on this redistricting case until we have ruled.”

Let’s party.

Fuck they’re just going to get a lot of people killed.

The Hague is too good for these people.

Popularism it is!

(The problem I'm trying to point out is that most of the people using polls to inform strategy at a high level in the Democratic Party are not pollsters, indeed I think most have never taken a survey methods class)

Tillis is retiring, and I wish he would have run out of fucks to give long before today. But I'll take this, absolutely. More, please.

Being a regular cop really shouldn’t be that good of a job. They’re street-level bureaucrats.

I think we should have more of them and pay less! Overtime should be rare. They should almost never be armed. Make them wear goofy high-visibility uniforms and walk foot patrols. They’re scarecrows.

Big W from Tish James here.

There are at least 10,000 Amcits in Qatar alone, and the US government is saying we are on our own

A shortage of large passenger charter planes due to DHS paying 10x the usual rates to ferry kidnapped migrants is threatening NCAA Tournament travel plans

From Arsenal of Democracy to Arsenal of (some) Autocracies (but only for about a week).

CENTCOM told me his unplanned war kept eating interceptors so I asked how many interceptors he has and he said he he just goes to INDOPACOM and gets a new Interceptor so I told him it sounds like he’s just feeding INDOPACOM interceptors to his unplanned war and his strategy cheese started crying.
