Avid taco and opera fan. Chiles rule. Trains are awesome. Also snarky and has a potty mouth. Euskal Herria zoragarria da! ¡El País Vasco es fantástico!
That Congress is even considering confirming a guy who enabled that "settlement" between Trump and his IRS shows how deeply fascism has become embedded in the Republican DNA.
Kyle GriffinSenate Democrats are demanding answers from Todd Blanche about subpoenas he authorized to New York Times journalists — including whether Trump pressured the Justice Department to issue them.

Adding another entry to the file to send to a very prominent person who got mad at me for saying this would happen! His reasoning was, the Constitution doesn't allow it, which has held up really well.
David DayenI don't know how you look at everything Trump's been doing to mess with the election and think anything other than that he's trying to rig it. But whether he will succeed is a different matter, as Bob Kuttner reports. prospect.org/2026/07/28/t...
study the enemies techniques, steal them. its what we should have done when limbaugh launched, when fox news launched, and now. we can either garment rend or fight. when the nazis used blitzkreig, we stole what worked and beat them.
David RobertsIsrael is giving Trump's former campaign manager millions of dollars to fill the internet with pro-Israel articles written by AI, not so that anyone will actually read them, but so that *LLMs will train on them* & regurgitate their perspective. This is the future of the information environment.
Finally seem to have settled on a consistent narrator tone and cadence this time around so naturally I had some of my gnarliest audio problems to make up for it, c’est la vie. (Also, jump scare at 8:50, sorry)
Dennis B. HooperOur second video concerns biopics. Not the ethics of how they’re put together (we covered that last time) but their many structural pitfalls, and the very specific cheat code that one Canadian filmmaker discovered. As this video’s topic starts with B, next week’s will start with C. Any guesses?
I'm also incredibly impressed that @jaywillis.net found a pic of two of the offenders with ... the person in the hot dog suit trying to find the guy who did this
I Am Begging Senate Democrats to Do Anything Other Than Help Confirm Trump JudgesFour months before the 2026 midterms, three Democratic lawmakers have decided to give a historically unpopular president a little boost.ballsandstrikes.substack.com
#DinoConUK 2026 Retrospective! Here are my thoughts on the absolutely wonderful weekend: Firstly, I spent most of my time in the vendor hall, and was proud to be among such an incredible and diverse line up of artists, creators, and community members, all of whom were the friendliest and... (1/6)

Why did a $154 billion CEO just endorse stripping most Americans of voting rights—and taking us back to the 19th century? | FortuneShould how much you pay in taxes determine how much your vote counts? Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke seems to think so.fortune.com
Gonna try to explain this once again. What Mitch and Chao share is a insatiable hunger for power. Trump took that away from Mitch (and thru him, Chao). But so long as Mitch retains his seat, not voting, he deprives Trump of something Trump wants. Chao just poses w/her symbol of depriving Trump.
emptywheelPart of me suspects the reason why Mitch's proof of life pictures are him posing with Chao is bc both of them are enjoying fucking over Trump's bullying of the Senate w/o leaving Mitch's bed. Remember that Chao was among the first to resign after January 6.
This actually would be a very funny, & apt, outcome. DOJ--& Harmeet, in particular--are using HSI (the investigative wing of ICE) to do their dirtiest work for them, going so far as using customs summonses to get call records fr journalist Georgia Fort. HSI doesn't have the same rules as FBI does.
druiddude77The next Dem / DSA president must repurpose ICE to fight white collar crime, and send them to Florida.
