I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.

I'm an international human rights lawyer at Human Rights Now, a Tokyo-based NGO. I'm into int'l law, jazz piano, cognitive science & philosophy of mind, continental philosophy, modern art, indie games/movies/music, and lately quantum physics.
If there were one classic story that best predicted our present moment in history, in spirit anyway, today's the day to remember it. Ray Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains"
If you go to Stockfish's YouTube page, you'll regularly see AI commenting on videos made by an AI commenting and giving tutorials on AI vs. AI chess games. At a certain point you have to wonder if they even need humans around anymore. 🫤
That bloated f*ck told the whole country tonight exactly how he's going to try to overturn the 2026 midterm elections. There wasn't even any ambiguity about what he's doing. He was asking for our help to do it. 25th Amendment his anti-American traitorous blubber ass already. 🤬
Good lord. I keep saying history is going to be merciless to these people, but we should unanimously be merciless to them now. The point after Ossoff said "isn't it humiliating..." and Clayton's voice got quiet, repeating his non-answer, that to me expressed the whole farce of the moment we're in.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoOSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...
All of Trump's people are disgraceful unfit criminals
Last year we released a report for the 10th Anniversary of the 709 Crackdown (against rights lawyers in China) highlighting why it's still important to remember. It's important to stand up for rights lawyers so they can stand up for us. #709Crackdown www.asianlawyers.net/statements/2...
HRN gave an oral statement to the Human Rights Council on the Ukraine war condemning Russia's civilian attacks, child abductions, coerced deployment of foreigners & other war crimes. We call on the international community to seek accountability & intensify pressure on Russia to end the war. #ukraine
really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · last mo.That's right.
![During the ratification debates, Senator Cowan took aim
at the Roma people too, characterizing them as undeserving
of birthright citizenship because they “wander[ed] in
gangs,” “infest[ed] society,” and “impos[ed] upon the simple
and weak everywhere.”49 And again, Senator Conness dismissed Senator Cowan’s prejudices: “The only invasion of
Pennsylvania within my recollection was an invasion very
much worse and more disastrous to the State, and more to
be feared and more feared, than that of Gypsies. It was an
invasion of rebels [at Gettysburg].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreihrli2ghfantwmdgc4pk4rr4ddt4ajq4xgnggxhs4qv4hojeppmpi)
FUUUCK SCOTUS The most-corrupt Supreme Court in America's history.
Not only are kids not reading well anymore, since about 8 months ago, there have been more AI-generated books released on Amazon than human-written books. God help us.
もちろん今日は日本を応援しました。⚽だって私の地元で試合があったんですから！引き分けは悪くない結果です。オランダのファンが負けたと感じていたのを見て、ちょっと嬉しかったです。😂日本がさらに勝ち進めば素晴らしいですね。頑張れ、日本！🇯🇵
One would hope this is Trump's Watergate Moment. The thing is, Watergate took just over 2 years from the break-in being reported to Nixon's resignation. The equivalent start in this case would be Katie Johnson's lawsuit in June 2016, and here we are a decade later...
We're in an era of talk of existential risks. This is the one that concerns me. www.facebook.com/lizamay/post...
I don't think I've ever become more quickly obsessed with a character than I did when I saw Hacker T. Dog today. I only wish Hacker & Triumph could meet someday, except that they target pretty opposite demographics, to say the least, so I don't think it can happen.
If you wanted to boil this farce down to its essentials: TRUMP: It's-- all I have to do is look. All I have to do is look. WELKER: But that's not evidence.
You have to hear the story from the man himself. Something I learned in Japan: while much of the threat to freedom of speech is always gov't pressure, also a serious problem is media toeing the gov't line and self-censorship in advance. For the health of democracy, we need to recognize the threat.

I feel like I'm losing my mind with this! Why is this not constantly being talked about in the press!?! It's happening virtually every time there's a public event there!! This is absolute insanity!! We all know it, and the rest of the world knows it. It's not fucking normal!! WTF?!
