"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

We’ve already got the voice of the middle of the road, Rahm Emmanuel, advising us to calm down, relax, let bygones be bygones, this impeachment talk is crazy, lets just make some new non-binding ethics rules, that’s the way forward. Fuck that shit.

I've gotten to the point where I think we just shouldn't have a president anymore. I'm not sure exactly what I think we should have instead, but clearly it is not an office we can be trusted with as is.

Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/kQdKbY1

Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees
Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.
Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

It is absolutely true that Dems need to win swing voters to win elections. The misdiagnosis is that swing voters are “moderates.” They are not. They have almost entirely incoherent politics. You don’t win them from the middle. You appeal to your base with conviction and hope swings like the vibes.

If you live in a state that's electing an attorney general, it might not hurt to let the D candidate know you want to hear a good loud "I will not file or join any suit that seeks to overthrow scientific consensus on any subject. Attempting to oppose reality with law wastes time and money."

Red states didn’t wait. The second SCOTUS butchered the Voting Rights Act, they went all in. Louisiana: Roughly one-third Black, and now they’re pushing maps that could leave the state with zero Black representation in Congress. The solution: Blue states need to match the urgency.

There wasn’t a single Democratic elected official who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death. Not one. Donald Trump is openly celebrating Robert Mueller’s death and no Republicans are condemning him. Both sides are not the same.

Someone just posted about how they don't care if their students use AI as long as the text conveys the ideas the students meant to convey. The thing is, you don't know exactly what you think until you write it. And if some prefab thing pops up, you're liable to decide that was what you thought.

The entire press corps should walk out, not come back, & we simply shouldn’t tolerate this. Months of “Joe Biden won’t do a press conference.” A nonstop national story. Same with Harris in Aug/Sep 2024 & interviews. Trump does this stuff & everyone shrugs. It’s appalling.
