The Bible does support the idea that unlevened bread can be transubstantiated into flesh so, you know, I don't really look to the Bible as the definitive source on trans issues.

PSA: Trump Continues To Commit Crimes

Trump will not be held accountable for his illegal commercials. But it is still important that we recognize the commercials as illegal. There. Are. FOUR. Lights. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

While the president is unlikely to face any consequences for his patently illegal, taxpayer-funded ads, it’s essential to remember he should.

Man, my vote (I learned it by watching you) is getting cooked here like that egg. A: I guess because I learned it by watching you is more quotable, it lodged as more famous to me. B: This is why we have EDITORS folks. People who can disabuse you of your priors.

Hive mind, settle a Gen X debate for me. What's more famous: "I learned it by watching you" OR "This is your brain on drugs" And if you need more context then you aren't allowed to answer.

14yo (discussing his team’s loss in water polo): The other team had VERY big kids. Me: It sounds like you guys played scared. 14yo: We WERE scared. Me: Well, you can’t be afraid like that. 14yo: If I wanted to overcome fear I’d play football. Me: … 14yo: Anyway, I got 100% on my science quiz.

Get you "friends" who make fun of your team in their lede graphs, AND THEN TELL YOU that you're not paranoid and the swipe was meant *specifically* for you. :(

As a Michigan fan, I guess I can empathize with Eric Schmitt. The Iowa Hawkeyes are exposing a lot of people as gigantic frauds these days.

Ooh. This is actually big. BUT… it probably means that this case will be decided on procedural grounds so his vote for the oil companies will not be strictly necessary. I doubt he would have recused if his vote was critical to the Republicans

But, as I wrote in my newsletter, these 8th circuit judges should actually be impeached. We simply can’t have “a judicial system” if Republican judges are going to literally defy the *Republican* Supreme Court just to try to give the GOP one more House seat.

I must say that I went with an Nvidia card instead of an AMD when I bought my gaming rig a couple of years ago. If I can ever afford another one (big "if" at this point), I will certainly go with an AMD, BASED SOLELY on the complete odiousness of Jensen Huang. He is for sure one of the bad guys.

I know we're all used to Trump embarassing us on the world stage. But we are truly a rogue nation. A rogue *superpower*, and need to be sanctioned and defeated by the international community.

This is why AI is a real prisoner's dilemma, because if you are another country and you hear this idiot's mouth noises, what are you supposed to rationally do? *Not* develope AI and just assume this fuck is going to handle everything responsibly?

At core, they do not believe democracy *should be allowed* if their side isn’t guaranteed to win. And that becomes the inescapable problem.

If Ted Cruz went on a Sunday show and advocated for drinking more water and breathing air, I would have to re-think some things. Joking aside, the Protect College Sports Act is very American, in that it protects money. It is not pro-athlete or pro-worker. I'm writing my reps about it.

As a related plug… this is also why we cannot support the AI “regulation” being talked about, which is just like this bill — fake regulation to make sure the rich stay richer.

We Need to Protect College Sports from Ted Cruz

Democrats *cannot* support the Protection College Sports Act. It’s the most anti-labor coming out of this Congress. We cannot cap the mobility of black athletes, but not white coaches. My newsletter is up. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

In this week’s Elie v. U.S., our justice correspondent looks at the many ways Ted Cruz’s college-sports bill threatens athletes’ labor rights. Plus: why our mail-in voting nightmare isn’t over.

When I first heard “I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.” I thought it was a bad ass choice. Now I realize it’s not a “choice.” It’s a reaction. Something happens: you stand up, or you cower. Sheeran cowered. Macklemore stood up.

I wrote about who is actually making America “poorer and dirtier.” It’s not immigrants. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Who is responsible for this terrible state of affairs? The opposition party and immigrants, apparently. Vance went on to say, “The Democrat legacy of the last few years was that they bankrupted our country and left us poor. They left our country weaker. They left our border wide open and our communities less safe.”

But this account represents a preposterous inversion. Almost every problem Vance lists, the Trump administration has made worse.

The administration’s environmental policies have made American water and air dirtier. Its health-care, tariff, and tax policies have worsened inflation and increased the financial burden on most American households, even as incomes have grown. And its public-health policies have led to outbreaks of contagious disease.
