I genuinely hope that this isn't Rep. Stevens' last act. She, and we, can learn from this.

The Athletic@theathletic.com · 16h agoAaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in.

Mike Rogers and John James will never be asked more than once about official statements from the leader of their party, while Abdul El-Sayed and Jocelyn Benson will constantly be grilled about a thing that they didn’t say but someone with six Twitter followers thinks is communism.
jay@yourpaljay.biz · 16h agoAbdul supporters, be ready to say “is that something he said, or is that something you heard he said?” Because when Van Jones is allowed to say he “declared open season on Israeli children,” our job is to point out the casual dishonesty that has and will be a hallmark of this race.
For context, this wave of LLM inevitability has all happened since the last new episode of Ted Lasso.

Me, in comments: “Strongly recommend not using ‘biweekly’. Using ‘twice a week’ or ‘every two weeks’ would be better because I can’t figure out which this means.” Reply: “Client prefers ‘biweekly’.” …do you have a five-word reading limit?

Today is Roma Holocaust Memorial Day. Around 500,000 Roma & Sinti people were killed by the Nazis in the Porajmos. There was no state given to them after the war. Commemoration of their suffering is often diminished or forgotten. Racism towards Romani people across Europe remains acceptable.

You know how good "My Cousin Vinny" was? Maury Chaykin played a Southerner and no one even noticed.
No one's ever been chased off this site who didn't want to be. The nuclear block is GREAT for this. The "problem" is that some people want a social network that allows them to inflict psychic damage on other members. That's it. That's why they've never taken to Bluesky.

The next full iteration of the Carousel. Couple of the last batch had really short chapters so they took forever to get through one at a time.

I am going to say something that is going to sound crazy at first: one sign of how little Gavin Newsom cares about doing the right thing, as opposed to doing the things he needs to do for a doomed presidential race, is how he has handled the Manson Family. Let me explain.
David Dayen@ddayen.bsky.social · 5d agoYou're not going to believe this but Gavin Newsom is taking the side of capital over workers. In this case it's tricky because he's backing the very MAGA allies his cosplaying X account claims he's fighting. www.wsj.com/business/med...
