i cannot even hazard a guess as to why the president is posting (at least some of what look like AI-generated) videos of lions randomly attacking people without any comment but i do not recommend watching them

If all Democrat leaders understood and acted on this reality since the first Jan6th things would be much better.

Ossoff: "The last time Trump lost the presidency, he tried to seize the presidency and overturn the election. That's why it's so important that we vote in unprecedented numbers. This is up to the people."

The idea that if people were not discussing Y, they would be discussing your issue of interest is silly. Sorry. Nothing works this way.

Former “free speech” crusaders have ushered in an unprecedented campaign of censorship in Texas universities, resulting in pulitzer winning books being banned, medical and scientific facts being suppressed, and entire fields of study deemed “woke” being eliminated www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Over the past decade, some conservatives have invoked principles of academic freedom and free speech in order to subvert both. These conservatives mocked “snowflakes” and “trigger warnings,” and then passed legislation making it illegal to hurt white students’ feelings by discussing historical or contemporary events. They invoked academic freedom and then began erasing fields of study they found politically inconvenient. They railed against “indoctrination,” and then argued that the state is entitled to control everything said in the classroom.

A BLUE WAVE WILL NOT HAPPEN UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY MAKE IT HAPPEN. DO NOT TRUST THE POLLS. DO NOT BELIEVE OTHER PEOPLE WILL DO IT FOR YOU. GO VOTE AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO DO THE SAME.

I say we tally up all the times JD Vance has brought up the subject of transgender kids in public and all the times Talarico has brought it up to see exactly which one's hard drive we need to inspect.

Holy shit. Rick Jackson didn’t just duck a debate with Keisha Lance Bottoms. He left her debating an empty podium. And the moderator made damn sure everyone knew it. Moderator Jeff Hullinger: “Mayor Bottoms, you may now ask a question to your opponent represented by the empty podium.”

Matthew Shepard died on October 12th in 1998, 28 years ago. His ashes were interred at Washington National Cathedral 20 years later, in 2018, because before Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson offered the Cathedral's crypt, his family had no place for him that would be safe from desecration.

Lights pass. Their trails stay. Maybe ours will too.

PHOTO by Vishal Shah. A nighttime cityscape frames a sweeping elevated train track flanked by modern glass towers and old brick buildings. Long-exposure light trails from a passing train bend gracefully through the scene—ribbons of electric blue, red, orange, and white cutting through the dark steel rails. Office lights glimmer inside the curved glass facade on the left, where a “Joe & The Juice” café glows subtly. The stillness of the architecture contrasts with the fluid energy of the motion.

There's a guy in my replies who says he doens't read women because they write well about emotional conflicts and unrequited love and that's not what he wants. He reads sci fi he says. Can you imagine reading sci-fi and not reading Octavia Butler? Or Ursula K Le Guin? Or NK Jemisin?

"I will not touch anything with ai-generated code" is going to mean, in pretty short order, "I will not touch software" this is just functionally what software development is now and it's only going to accelerate from here

We've been boiled frogs for so long this never gets mentioned. But this violates DOJ policies that have been in place for decades, ones that Defense Attorney Todd Blanche said should have extended for the entirety of the time his client had declared his candidacy. (Tho I think this was DHS.)

Not only should brooks and others shut up. But Ossoff is the best example in the country of a Democrat playing dominance politics and using it to control the whole terms of his race.

Right, it turns out that instead of letting the Republicans set the terms of the debate, you can simply tell them and their enablers in the media to cram it. El-Sayed has been doing the same thing. It's long overdue.
