That patronizing “Pretending you won’t watch is adorable” quote from JK Rowling is from a parody account, people. Not sure what the “joke” is supposed to be, given that she verifiably says horrific things all the time, but all the same, let’s try not to be gullible.

NEW BLOG POST! Some thoughts on Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey, the historical context of the Bronze Age Collapse, the Sea Peoples, and the legends of the Trojan War, and whether Nolan's movie is "historically accurate" or not, and what that even means.

Did Odysseus Cause the Bronze Age Collapse?

We were all set for The Odyssey to be our summer discourse. Battle lines had been drawn, takes had been prepared. Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s 8th century BCE epic poem was…

A post from the Comal County (TX) Republican Party:

Democratic Socialists of America

The DSA's mission is to replace capitalism with democratic socialism by shifting economic and political power from corporations and wealthy owners to workers and the public.

Is this what you want for America?

Fun trick that Republican presidents can act like dictators because “unitary executive theory” but Democratic presidents aren’t able to govern because “major questions doctrine”. It’s almost like those are fake things fabricated to weaponize a Republican SCOTUS majority!

In 1933 Adolf Hitler shook down German industrialists for millions of Reichsmark to establish what he called the Adolf-Hitler-Spende der deutschen Wirtschaft—a slush fund he used to pay off Nazis whose violence got them into legal trouble. In 2026, Donald Trump is quietly doing the same thing.

The Supreme Court was THE ISSUE IN 2016. It could've gone either way. And you couldn't get the media to talk about it. Most voters didn't understand that everything hinged on it. And the 2016 election went as it did. And the 20th century began to unravel.

Outrageous sophistry from the lawless Supreme Court here, stating that, under Callais, a pattern of vote polarization along racial lines is not just not sufficient to prove "racially polarized voting patterns" (already an absurd claim), but "*not relevant to proving*" such patterns.
