Yes, I am that Kevin Wardrop that you saw in DC! I did make that flight, it ended up delayed! Immigrant. Permanent Foreigner. Far-Left. Be the cure for Misanthropy by treating everyone like they are friends that you had briefly forgotten.

Phweet "He's not in the position to opine" on the brief section he had quoted? This is supposed to be "Quick Thinking" is it? "You're Quote as Saying 'Fuck those kittens!'" "I'm not in a position to opine"

DURBIN: You wrote an article in which you claimed 'Black inmates are most like to become sexual aggressors.' Why should people of color believe you've changed? CRONAN: I co-authored the article. I haven't re-read it in a long time. DURBIN: Do you believe it? CRONAN: I'm not in a position to opine

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

as noted yesterday, Trump has now come around to treating an Iranian toll system covering the Strait of Hormuz as a given. Hard to overstate the level of strategic failure. US started the war purely as a war of choice and ends up dramatically empowering Iran and given the Iranian govt big wins.

Reuters: Iran wants fees of 5%-7% of the price of cargo from ships using the strait; Oman wants 3%. "Making fees voluntary, at least nominally, could be a way out of the impasse, although an implied threat of Iranian attacks could mean shippers would be ​unlikely to risk transit without paying."

BLUMENTHAL: Judge Cronan, you're already on the district court. Who won the 2020 election? CRONAN: Joseph Biden received the majority of electoral votes B: You have nothing to lose. You have a lifetime appointment, and yet you're unwilling to state the simple fact that Biden won the 2020 election

SCHIFF: When Trump ran against Hillary Clinton, who won? CANDEUB: Um. Trump was certified as winner S: Did he in fact win? C: He was certified S: Do you have some doubt about if he won? C: I have no doubt he was certified S: When did it become so difficult to answer such a simple question?

Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.

😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

Cleanliness. Things are generally cleaner now than they used to be. People used to litter a bunch more in the 70s and 80s (and into the 90s) especially cigarette butts. They were INESCAPABLE Also less Algae blooms in the great lakes, There were whole summers ruined by massive grody snot blobs.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

dorian @doriantaylor.com air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*? like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*? 2:58 PM Aug 4, 2026

Russia's history peasant revolts means that if Putin wants to maintain power, he has to keep "dealing" with people to keep revolution from taking hold. This is more of that. Russia is gonna run out of able-bodied men before it runs out of Putin at this rate.

Jake Broe@realjakebroe.bsky.social · 21h ago

Putin has begun the process of mobilizing another 500,000 Russian men into the military to be sent to die in Ukraine. Do you think those 500,000 men will accept their fate?

watching the candidate forum for the US Senate seat currently held by Tina Smith and it's incredible how Royce White's response to every question is to spout insane conspiracy theories about transgender people and the uniparty. This guy was the GOP's nominee for a Senate seat two years ago!

I don’t blame the public for this: most people will be looking at this slack jawed wondering what the fuck is going on. And the answer is: the British media/political class has driven itself insane trying to reconcile a decade of its own nonsensical, contradictory, idiotic bullshit.

Claire Coutinho * @ClaireCoutinho X.com I understand why Luciana and others are unable to forgive Joshua, I do. My Catholicism says I should forgive if put in a similar position, but none of us can say how we would feel if we were so cruelly targeted - especially while pregnant. I don't think people who have committed atrocious acts should get a free pass in life. However, I do think extremism is such a scourge in society that those who have dedicated themselves to trying to counter it should be able to earn a hearing. If the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism can note his contribution, then I do think it is a shame that the Board of Deputies have decided not to meet him. I would hope that a young man who has renounced anti-semitism and now actively fights against it is exactly the kind of person they would engage with.In my view if we are going to properly address anti-semitism, I want people on our side who take it seriously and I want there to be a way back for people who have been radicalised to serve our country again if they have provably renounced their past. 1 am afraid it is completely inconsistent for Reform to argue for a return to Christian values, but then argue against redemption for young people like Joshua or George Abaraonye, who I also defended despite saying something grotesque and being in no way a Conservative. And I have even less time for the Labour figures who were quite happy to serve Corbyn whilst anti-semitism ran rife, who have championed an Islamophobia definition criticised by counter-terrorism experts, and who only now decide to speak up for the Jewish community. But my main hope is that Joshua's last few years educating people against extremism turns into many decades more, and that he can stop others from following the appalling path that he did.

I don’t usually trash other people’s work, but I’ll make one exception. Evil Dead Burn is by far the worst movie I’ve seen this year and the nonsensical script easily makes it the weakest ED film. I think they were going for French extreme, but it just came out cruel and stupid.
