This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

TurboTax maker Intuit paid zero federal income tax on nearly $6 billion in U.S. profits in 2025. The Trump administration has helped Intuit avoid taxes with OBBBA. It also ended a popular free tax filing program with the IRS. Then Intuit's profits grew by 25%.

Originally there was no Constitution. So ignoring the Constitution is the only truly originalist approach to Constitutional law.

Thought of another fun exercise everyone can try: turn Bouba and Kiki (of the Bouba/Kiki Effect) into characters that fit your own tastes and interests
Characters Bouba and Kiki posing heroically. Bouba is round and soft and she wields a mace, and Kiki is sharp and angular and wields a sword.

The American "justice system" is not broken. The system is a perfectly functioning meat grinder, a rolling border wall, a plantation ledger, a movable death warrant. High tech robotic policing of necropolitical death worlds, deciding who gets to breathe and whose bones feed the machine.

The most timeless legal principle is that the law is established for the sake of human beings. If the state creates these lex cogit ad impossibilia situations ("you need the ID to get the ID") then the state is fine un-personing them. This is the creation of a "death world" in necropolitics.

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵
Someone on Threads writes: "The Met Gala feels like real dystopian shit.

People can’t afford groceries or gas. But we’re going to celebrate this event which is nothing more than wealth porn."

Look if you've got a better way to run a country than "putting an illiterate octogenarian bigot on TV every few days to free associate and complain, and then everyone tries to figure out if it means we're about to start a war or not" I'd love to hear it. But the constitution says this is it.

Yeahhh My Famicase is back! Here's @gubbins.bsky.social and my entry for this year--Bubble Brigade! #Famicase #Famicase2026
A fake famicase cartridge showing a pair of naked legs and a cute frog running with a bar of soap. The title says "Bubble Brigade". On the right is a description that reads, "Welcome to the Bubble Brigade! Sergeant Suds will train you in the ways of the washer as you scrub through nine stages of grime to achieve a personal-hygiene high score! Lather up the loofah peripheral for the first game you play in the bath!"

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.
A set of screenshots from DEEP SPACE NINE. An old Klingon throws his arms around Dax and shouts "Curzon, my beloved old friend!" 

Dax returns the hug and says "I'm Jadzia now."

The Klingon grabs her shoulders, smiles, and says "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"

More people are going to be murdered by ICE. It’s clear. The tactics ensure it, ICE is getting more furious and being disagreed with or resisted in any way, the verminous administration supports them and has shown they will tell any lie to support ICE murdering people. /1

We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger. newrepublic.com/article/2041...

top left:
WRONG
-negating their frame reinforces it
-starts with what it isn't instead of what it is
- your argument is shaped like their argument

bottom right: large image of Kirby, a pink blob inhaling and the "autism is bad" fragment, labeled THEY'RE DOING EUGENICS

bottom left: 
RIGHT
- you eat their frame
