the Vice President of the United States has gone on record citing this man as one of his biggest intellectual influences if you didn't know this, it's probably because for some reason literally no mainstream political media outlets think it's worth mentioning

Maybe we should ban the "it's going to cause a catastrophic event" product. If the AI companies keep saying their product is dangerous, why are we still letting them sell the product?

Hell yeah. The future is paying thousands of dollars to AI to put myself in a crappy version of a good game, instead of paying $70 for the good game. Then I'm sure all my friends, that I will definitely have lots of, will want to play the game about me.

If you live in the south (whether or not you are of the south) you have to hold your tongue so fucking much while these fuckers always feel free to say what they like (in part because they might shoot you) and for someone to just fucking say it is like the rain that breaks a stultefying summer day.

JD Vance thinks bribery is normally wrong but needs more facts before because you have to look at bribery on a case by case basis. For instance, what if the president was in on it? Then it wouldn't be bad.

I don't even know if that will be necessary if a Democrat controlled Congress just passes a law that requires destroying anything with Trump's name or likeness. They could declare him an insurrectionist according to the 14thA and pass a law that says nothing can be named after insurrectionists.

It's funny that you can't even give her credit for making the villains of her story like Nazis, because she said it was a coincidence.

Rowling, though famously tight-lipped, has used her personal website to draw explicit comparisons between her mythological universe and 20th century history. A young reader wrote to Rowling to ask, "Why are some people in the wizarding world (e.g., Harry) called 'half-blood' even though both their parents were magical?" She responds:

The expressions "pure-blood," "half-blood," and "Muggle-born" have been coined by people to whom these distinctions matter, and express their originators' prejudices. ... If you think this is far- fetched, look at some of the real charts the Nazis used to show what constituted "Aryan" or "Jewish" blood. I saw one in the Holocaust Museum in Washington when I had already devised the "pure- blood," "half-blood," and "Muggle-born" definitions and was chilled to see that the Nazi used precisely the same warped logic as the Death Eaters. A single Jewish grandparent "polluted" the blood, according to their propaganda.

Tried to go back and look at NYT reporting on southern Jim Crow laws, and didn't find any examples of "but critics say". Which is how it should be. It's absolutely awful that modern journalism is pretending to be neutral while presenting the story as just an opinion of a biased opposition.

I live in a rural red area and whenever I see someone say something along the lines of "they deserve to get what they voted for" after some disaster or something, it doesn't bother me. I often agree. I'm far more bothered when they say some shitty behavior is the result of economic anxiety.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis

Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

That's what I said. I get why fans would care but for anyone else, why should we think it's bad that a billionaire gave up his own money to make his team more competitive? In fact, if you don't have a level playing field with a spending cap, I think this behavior shouldn't be against the rules.

Grumbholdt @grumdholt.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Yeah they cheated at a sport. Sucks for the other teams but why should I, a non fan, be upset that the players got more of a billionaire owner's money? As far as the financial fraud part, didn't they say they made more money? Wouldn't that mean they paid more in taxes?

My hot take is, I kinda agree with him on this. Like the Clippers, the owner cheated and should be punished by the league for it. It's fine to be outraged if you're a fan of the other teams, but it's weird for anyone else to be really upset that a billionaire was paying his employees too much money.

Trump’s insider trading is, on its own, the worst corruption scandal in US history, with $$$ dwarfing Teapot Dome. So are Trump’s bribes-for-pardons. So is the Qatar bribe plane. So is all the Saudi money he (and Kushner) have pocketed. And the ballroom. And more. Each alone would be the worst.
