It is so embarrassing that this is a 2026 headline instead of a 1996 one, but I'm glad it's done.

If you had to guess which of these 3 guys is a by-marriage relation of Matt Gaetz, you'd be correct.

Jackley ran last for AG. He won, unopposed, with 100% of the vote. The fact that he's not breaking 50% is... interesting.

Wanting lower property insurance and healthcare for everyday families isn't un-American; it’s what working people deserve. They can take their tech-bro cash and their weird, intrusive agenda somewhere else, because I'm not going any damn place. /3

The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to ‘get out of America’ while he & Absent Ashley enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors helped build. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don’t belong here/2

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

Why can't LA build more affordable housing? Well, you see, because a building located in an R5(CW) zone shall not cast a shadow on a lot located in the R4 or R5 zone for more than two hours each day between the hours of 9AM and 3PM on the Winter Solstice and 9AM and 5PM on the Summer Solstice.
A corrective comment from a zoning review for a 100% affordable housing project in Los Angeles that reads, "BUILDINGS OR STRUCTURES ON A LOT LOCATED WITHIN THE R5(CW) LAND USE CATEGORY SHALL NOT CAST SHADOWS ON A LOT LOCATED IN THE R3 OR R4 ZONE, OR THE R4(CW) OR RC4(CW) LAND USE CATEGORY FOR MORE THAN TWO (2) HOURS EACH DAY BETWEEN THE HOURS F 9 AM AND 3 PM ON THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND 9 AM AND 5 PM ON THE SUMMER SOLSTICE. THE PROJECT APPLICANT SHALL SUBMIT A SHADE.

A constitutional amendment we should push for is restricting the pardon power to people outside the federal government. While we're at it, we should also probably create a specific independent agency w/the sole purview of prosecuting crimes committed by federal employees.

We have one party that's generally responsive to people's shifts in attitudes and which is now on the popular side of each of these issues. Everyone thinks they're cringe. This while the other party runs on the fuck-your-opinions platform and they're almost as popular.

I suspect there is a moral and ethical difference that I can't fully articulate between crimes against individuals being avenged by the state and crimes against societies at large being avenged by that society at large.

I am a death penalty abolitionist in all cases for a functional civil society, but just as with the paradox of tolerance, there may be an argument for execution in cases where the civil society that precludes capital punishment is foundationally threatened by an individual or individuals.

It seems quaint now that we do all our banking and race science there, but, nevertheless, it's true: at one time, people mostly wrote jokes on Twitter. 10 years ago, I wrote one about an old asshole and it kinda changed my life. Not his, though. www.cnn.com/2026/10/01/u...

Really really not great that "from the DoJ" has become synonymous with "worthless politically motivated trash that the San-Dimas-High-School-Football-Rules kid would know better than to include in his oral report."

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

video of actual Israeli atrocities against Palestinians occupies the same central position in these networks as actual child pornography does in QAnon in that it is both the primary target of condemnation and the primary source of the sexual excitement which drives the movement

My only quibble with this is that the loss in Vietnam was psychologically damaging to the US but did not cost us much strategically because the premise behind the war was so stupid and wrong. The Iran War, however, is a strategic blunder on a level more akin with the Soviets in Afghanistan.

The truth is that in many ways, desegregation movements and multicultural/socioeconomically diverse educational environments have had in many ways a greater net benefit for the white middle-class that mostly fight against them than for anyone else

I was a middle class kid bussed to the post schools in Seattle for my entire education and it made me a better person. We made this same decision for the same reason. Our kid is now a senior at Berkeley and she's a better human for it, too.
