Just a quick reminder that the Vietnamese Crested Argus exists. Critically endangered and restricted to humid forests of Laos and Vietnam, it is widely considered to have a huge-ass tail. 📷 Robin Arnold, eBird

There are dozens of people and institutions that had to go awry — again, morally, ethically, or legally — to end up where we are at the end of the day here.

Watching some of the Jack Smith hearing and I am struck by how awful the GOP members are. They are mean and stupid. What kind of person pulls a lever to have this kind of person as their representative? How crusty and dark is the soul that wants this to be their voice?

Related: I will never get over the placement of the parentheses in the title Birdman, Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). That is real. It made it all the way to the poster. We all saw a movie called Birdman, Or.

Wondering how horrific rape is somehow politics? The only politics one side has is hatred for oppts. Anything the opposition think is good must be bad and stopped. Anything they despise must be lauded and praised. All this venom to cow their ignorant supporters while the leaders empty the coffers.

This is the two-stage message of every GOP politician going back to Goldwater: "None of those things or people matter!" And, then, when something directly affects them or their family: "Oh, wait..." Same story, every goddamn time, from health care to immigration to civil rights to the economy.

I don’t need to hear contrition or “wow I can’t believe it’s like this” from Trump voters. I just need them to vote the GOP out of office. Never cast a vote for this trash party again. They are poison.

Realistically, what's happening here is against all centrist hopes and attempts, Mamdani and his overtly socialist policy vision is incredibly popular, so centrists are diverting to plan B: pretending Mamdani has a better, special type of leftism, which they'll simply call "not leftism."
