We've reached the open use of anti trans slurs phase by Trump. Dems haven't done shit to call out Pete Hegseth and Nancy Mace doing it so now it's become normalized.

cas part of the revealer's special issue on religion and democracy, I wrote about the myth of meritocracy. Meritocracy is often thought of as a core democratic goal. But in fact its corrosive of democracy because it rationalizes and justifies existing hierarchies. therevealer.org/the-myth-of-...

My budgie died yesterday. He fought hard but couldn't eat anymore, so I brought him to a vet to end his pain. He was 13, and he had not had a good life before I got him. Such a small animal but he owned all of my heart. Now the last shred of light is gone. Mommy loves you, Leo. Hope to see you soon.

Justice Alito devotes an entire chapter of his new book to the emergency docket—and to responding to people like me (“the most prolific academic critic of the emergency docket”). As I explain over at “One First,” it … didn’t go well: www.stevevladeck.com/p/256-so-une...
In the pre-publication galleys to his new book, So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, the Court, and Our Country, Justice Alito spelled my last name inconsistently. This is, I suspect, the pettiest possible point on which to open in discussing a Supreme Court justice’s new memoir, and I would never have mentioned it except for the fact that inconsistency turns out to be the organizing feature of the chapter in which I (“the most prolific academic critic of the emergency docket”) repeatedly appear.The central inconsistency of Chapter 8, which is devoted to the emergency docket, is structural: Rather than tackle the subject holistically (as one might expect in a book), Alito mashed together the speech he gave five years ago at Notre Dame Law School with a “postscript.” The former was deeply flawed even at the time (among lots of other things, Alito repeatedly insisted that there was “nothing new” about the Court’s behavior on emergency applications during the first Trump administration and COVID); and the latter tries to move the goalposts away from the specific phenomena to which critics like me have actually objected.The result is to leave readers with a disjointed, inaccurate, and misleading sense of what the debate is even about—to say nothing of how the Court’s own behavior since September 2021 (including Alito’s) has only further undermined the already-flawed claims Alito made back then. Somewhere between the galleys of Alito’s book and the final product (which hits bookstores today), someone apparently figured out that my last name should be spelled the same way (and correctly!) throughout. The other, more significant inconsistencies were, apparently, harder to fix.

If Burnham's care plan only applies to the over 65s, the only people left paying for their own care will be working age disabled adults - eg the people with the least opportunity to save for it That would make the PM's plan less 'solve a national crises that blights lives', more 'win an election'

A screenshot of a social media post on Threads by user teslaloosa, which reads: "My mom took this selfie with her cat on this day in 2015. No one on Earth has taken a better selfie since. 😸😸"

Below the text is a low-angle selfie of a woman wearing glasses looking down at the camera with an unamused, mid-expression face. Right next to her, a fluffy white and brown cat is making an identical, slightly scowling, scrunched-up facial expression.

Underneath, a comment from user chrissyhearts2026 reads: "It's so clear that is her biological cat."
