I’m guessing the correlation between: • “I’m tough on crime! Lock up that young Black man (aged 14) selling drugs!” and • “Wasn‘t an essay enough punishment for those poor young boys (aged 18+) at Cornell?” is close to 1.00000. In case anyone still thinks “tough on crime” is abt … crime.

If AI poses a 1% risk of extinction (which destroys 8.3B lives, valued at $10M ea), and OpenAI contributes 17.6% of the AI industry, then putting Sam Altman in prison for life, right now, has an expectation value of about $146 trillion dollars. Seems like a no-brainer :)

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Damn, didn't realize the gender pay gap applies to sexual scandal payoffs.
Among the most prominent allegations are that Boebert conducted a four-year "romantic and sexual relationship" with a senior female staffer, named as Clarice Navarro Ratzlaff, then paid her $200,000 when Ratzlaff broke off the affair and threatened to file an ethics complaint of her own.

Additionally, Wheeler alleges, Boebert had a sexual relationships around the same time with Raven Finegan, a congressional employee and the congresswoman's district chief of staff, and Jeffrey Small, who was her chief of staff from 2021 to 2025.

The complaint includes detailed financial records of Boebert's congressional spending, and payments to staff that included more than $450,000 to Finegan to June 2026, and almost $780,000 to Small. Ratzlaff received more than $461,000.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

Genuinely an insane paragraph from Sam Alito. “Voter fraud is real and scary and we have to stop it, so the fact that implementing Trump’s mail ballot rule will disenfranchise millions is legally irrelevant.” Brain melted. A right-wing podcaster in a robe. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest
in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “en-

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"
