The fun part about this is Trump has so much less juice now, so he just looks pathetic Like in 2025, invading Greenland felt like an actual possibility! But for the administration getting its teeth repeatedly kicked in by Iran? No

Yashar Ali 🐘1. NEW President Trump posts that he doesn’t know what US Attorney Jeanine Pirro was thinking when her office moved to dismiss the felony charge against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn in the Reflecting Pool case.
Congressional will Nothing more. But also nothing less.
Redneck LeftyRandom thought: What would it take to bring the immigration system under the control of Article 3 courts? I mean here replacing the immigration "judges" with magistrate judges reporting to district courts?
i propose a modest remedy: anyone who ever invokes the phrase "destroy the character of neighborhoods" or equivalent should be launched into the ocean by a trebuchet

there is a reading crisis, one element of which is the seizure of control over reading in schools by people who aren't serious readers

cait (and adonis)I'm not generally fond of anyone correcting other peoples' grammar unless the author requested it, but what pisses me off extra is some smug idiot pretending not to understand slang in a casual conversation. "You 'seen' it? What does that mean?" oh okay so you're stupid
So, ok, a thing about telling yr audience "i use AI for my info gathering/research but then I look over it and fix any errors" is that you unfortunately told me youve outsourced your knowledge base on this subject to the machine, and therefore I have no reason to believe you CAN catch those errors
Altman proclaiming the “singularity”; the Guardian publishing blather about possible AI consciousness; OpenAI and Anthropic blaming their cybercrimes on “rogue models”—the nonsense is coming fast and thick. Time for another MAIHT3k livestream with me & @alexhanna.bsky.social: Mon, Aug 3, noon PT
This is it, the entire conspiracy: In early 2020, Fauci and a bunch of scientists thought the virus could be engineered. Then they did more research and found that it didn't show any evidence of that. Nothing we've learned since has overturned this finding.
MAGA masculinity means declining to publicly criticize the man your daughter has accused of physical abuse, because doing so might prompt a senile 80-year-old man to write mean things about you.

"There has been a plunder of the commons... and they've been turned into sources of huge rental income. That is illegitimate, that is unjust, that has no moral principle justifying what's been happening and we should be very angry." — Guy Standing
This is why you dont try to compromise or concede anything to these horrors
I am not a violent person. But you take a picture of me in the bathroom and you’re going to be lucky if the worst I do is yell at you.

If we fuck this up, Republicans will sweep in with someone to blame, and the "someone" will be queers and Jews.
I think that not only is this good politics, but the stability of American society depends on it. Liberal American normies are out for blood, but *everyone* is in an anti-system mood. If we don't feed that beast some sacrifices, it'll find someone who can, and those sacrifices will be innocent.

As much as radicals get criticized for being "unrealistic," demanding entire demographics facing literal genocide always maintain mild rhetoric and actions is an absolutely delusional level of conformity to expect. I don't think that gets said enough.
