I “got stuck” behind the drawers today. Everyone had to come help me so I felt awkward telling them I wasn’t stuck, I was just being a little shit

1 OCTOBER 1776, HARLEM, NEW YORK: Washington’s daily orders instruct “Every Brigadier … to select some good officers to be in the rear of their Battalions … to shoot any Officer, or Soldier, who shall presume to quit his Ranks, or retreat, unless the Retreat is ordered by proper Authority.”
George Washington, painted in 1776 by Charles Willson Peale

It's astonishing just how committed this SCOTUS is to burning its own institutional legitimacy to the ground.

One important policy lesson from this story is how Facebook committed blatant tax fraud in 2013 (Zuckerberg's stock options as R&D) and still hasn't been forced to pay it and thus learned that tax fraud is an acceptable business practice and so is doing it again.

You want an example of focusing on culture war bullshit instead of warfighting, THIS is it. Hegseth isn't worried about the fact that he's set US policy goals in the Gulf back literal decades, no, he's too busy monitoring soldiers' testosterone levels and reveling in what slurs he gets to use.

Erusea told me Three Strikes keeps eating his warships so I asked how many ships he has and he said he just goes to Yuktobania and gets a new fleet afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding warships to Three Strikes and then his princess started crying.

Peter Magyar is currently enacting a Liberal Currents fantasy where he amends the constitution to ban anyone associated with the old regime from ever holding office again and is somehow polling at 68% (he won with 53%) and I’m not saying that’s possible anywhere else but Dems should like, ask him

new research reports that cats vocalize more when greeting male owners. researchers suggest that this is because cats have apparently learned that men require additional explanation when provided with basic communication. I don't like the idea that cats are judging me this accurately.

When I was a kid the top 10 songs on the Hot 100 were read out weekly by the principal over the loudspeaker with morning announcements. Then they played the No. 1 song in full instead of the Pledge of Allegiance. And if you didn't stand up and sing along you were expelled for not being patriotic.

Vought is breaking the law but he is not “going rogue.” At his confirmation hearings, Vought told Republicans he would do this and they voted for him anyway. If they want to stop him, they still can via impeachment. They won’t.

With the midterm elections shaping up to be a massive reckoning for the Republican Party, it's worth remembering that they had a fairly easy offramp from Trumpism in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th riot but they completely chickened out.
