Yes. That it takes a sliver of the American electorate for him to just eke out a win shows the failure of a highly propagandized set of news outlets, our electoral system, and our declining educational system, and our highly biased judicial system, among other things.

That is unfair. He also sleeps in public meetings with officials, mistakes Japan for Iran, and rambles online and in person over his personal grievances. And if rumors are true, needs industrial strength diapers.

Yes. I think some people forget that you can be anti-Israeli government and still against anti-semitism, especially in the US when we're talking about Americans. Just because I don't like China's President doesn't mean it's ok to allow racist attacks against Chinese Americans, for example.

This answer alone should destroy this administration. This conversation is essentially: “people are hurting.” “ceos are fine.”

This also triggers some nostalgia. Remember the 2003 recall election when we had Gary Coleman and a porn star running for Governor? Maybe Schwarzenegger winning is less surprising in retrospect.

Didn’t notice that, thanks. And if there was ever a time when it already seemed pretty clear this person’s opinions were solely their own…

Cowards. Fidelity should have the courage to exercise some reasonable discretion here when a nonprofit is under political attack by a hostile federal government. A government that apparently doesn’t like constraints on racism.

Jackie Robinson grew up in a diverse Pasadena neighborhood, & when one of those neighbors, his baseball teammate Shig Takayama, was incarcerated at Manzanar with his family, the Robinsons helped take care of their home. For my new column, a story of the worst & best of America through baseball. 🗃️

Jackie Robinson can help us better remember a largely forgotten teammate and childhood friend, Shigeo “Shig” Takayama, and the connections between African American and Japanese American baseball.

C'mon they earned it by being badasses targeting unarmed immigrants and citizens with gear normally reserved for SWAT teams and paramilitary groups. What else are they going to do to feel big and strong, enlist?

The head of the plaintiff’s group, African Communities Together, has a keen mind as well (also an attorney), doing great work. I hope they wring every ounce of accountability out of the gov’t as possible.

I have briefly wondered what my life would have been like had my parents stayed in Korea instead of emigrating. I’m incredibly appreciative of the genuinely fundamental difference that decision made on my life. I imagine so too for your own kids. Congratulations man and happy birthday.

There is an animated short from Studio Ghibli that features the catbus, and kittenbuses(!). Yes it’s as adorable & charming as the film. I don’t know if it’s available to see outside their museum in Tokyo (& even then they rotate what shorts they play), but it’s totally worth visiting if you can.

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

A number of Jewish organizations are shrilly insisting that any criticism of Israeli genocide and warmongering is an illegitimate attack on Jews. At the same time, an increasing number of non-Jewish people are insisting that any attack on Jews is a legitimate attack on Israel. This sucks, man

Professor Wurman seems to relish in calling me a bad academic who doesn’t sufficiently extend good faith presumptions and scholarly charity. He also demands I produce evidence in real time. Fairs. So, Ilan Wurman, I’d like you to meet Ilan Wurman.

Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction. Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.
