Any Democrat that bugs Trump is suddenly going to be accused of crimes. Dictator playbook 101 and if the mainstream media plays along they are complicit. I’m not optimistic

Opposing Trump's tariffs alone makes almost all Dems more market-friendly than his GOP. But there's also housing, regulatory reform, deficits, various market interventions, etc. If you really care about free market economics by conventional libertarian standards, Dems win and it's not even close.

I like how other Rs explain that it’s not a bribe, he’s talking about a legitimate policy proposal he hopes to enact with R support, and then Trump comes out and says It’s a bribe, I’m bribing you to vote for Republicans.

"An ambulance was seen arriving at the prison where Pike was to be executed and then leaving. Medical aid was being administered, according to online federal court records." The utter absurdity of the state trying twice to kill someone and then calling an ambulance. We must end the death penalty.

Tennessee inmate still alive after being administered two lethal injections, her lawyer says

Christa Pike, 50, was 18 when she murdered a classmate. She would be the first woman the state has executed in more than 200 years.

In a sense, expertise had created a gap in the political market: We’d been doing more-or-less smart things for so long, there was a lot of unmet demand for terrible ideas in an electorate with no direct memory of why they’re terrible.

So here's a quote from @pablo.show that applies to not only his Clippers investigation but the best of what journalism can be: www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...

"I think that we have the ability to do something that the rest of our culture is yearning for, which is make people who are too rich to care about anything resembling the public interest worry that maybe they need to tell us the truth."

Gods no. If we’d had the technology to do a “is this a good time” text in the 1880s it would never have occurred to anyone that cold calling would be a norm. If you call me without texting first I assume you either need to be bailed out of jail or picked up at the emergency room.

I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie).

I don't think everyone needs to use AI. I don't think it's good that AI is being shoved everywhere when it's not wanted or asked for. But I don't find the complete hatred of all AI tools productive or helpful to building a better internet. And others appear to be feeling the same thing.

One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.

A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

I'm a big believer in people can change and improve, and when they do so should be welcomed with grace. But they have to, you know, want to change. That looks like "I was wrong, here's why, and here's what I'm doing about it," not "it's a while ago, lighten up, you're just pretending to object."

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.
