“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

The fact that the Prestige Press keeps showing old photos of him rolling around the Capitol like he's shown up is in itself a scandal. They should show a deserted hallway or maybe a big question mark or a tombstone with a question mark on it

Hastings museum had an LGBT history exhibit and there was a bit on a trans guy and a cis woman who married in 1954 that I found moving
UNCLE VIC & AUNTIE JOAN

Remi Graves

Victor Kenneth Jones and Joan Jones (née Lee) met in 1950 at a telephone exchange in Catford, where they both worked. Vic was 22 and Joan 17. They married on 25 September 1954 at St Luke's Church, Downham, with family, and friends in attendance. Joan's family supported their relationship and respected Vic's identity as a trans man. After a honeymoon in Hastings, the couple settled there.

In 1954, they were publicly outed and fined £25 each (around £900 today) for what authorities ruled an 'illegal marriage' because Vic was trans. They also became the subject of national newspaper coverage. Despite this, they lived together in Hastings until Vic's death in 1991. Joan remained in their home until 2023, when she passed away at 90.

The photos and objects on display were shared by Joel, Joan's nephew. After Vic's death, Joan gave him Vic's archive, asking him to do as he wished. Joel brought Vic's wedding ring to the Collective's 'Queer Lives. Queer Queer Objects' gathering in March 2025.

I was moved by the lasting love Vic and Joan shared and the quietly defiant way they built a life together on their own terms. ers a rare glimpse into the life a trans ma part Hastings in the mid-20th century.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

"for unknown reasons, my mortal enemies appear to be concerned with the core essence of humanity in a way that my allies are not. oh well, better not think about it too hard."
Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog

A weird thing is that whenever I post criticism of Al, the majority of the people agreeing with me seem to be leftists. It's pretty much the only position I hold that seems to be more popular with the left than the right. It should be the opposite. My whole point about Al (especially Al in creative fields) is that it isn't human, it doesn't have a soul, and we cannot surrender our society to an unhuman soulless algorithm even if it makes our lives easier in some ways. It's very strange that an argument predicated on the existence of the soul resonates with the left while conservatives tend to scoff at it.

It should be 100%
Alarmed by President Trump's threat to eliminate a whole civilization" in Iran on Tuesday, more than a quarter of congressional Democrats have called for Trump's removal from office, either through impeachment or by his cabinet stripping him of power through the 25th Amendment. Many raised concerns about the president's soundness of mind and said his post to social media threatening widespread civilian destruction was evidence that he was not mentally fit to hold office.

I’m glad there is a reported ceasefire deal with Iran. But we shouldn’t be in this illegal war in the first place. And Donald Trump can’t simply threaten war crimes with impunity. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war and remove Donald Trump.

By the standards of what else could have happened, this obviously counts as good news, but the good news these days consists of the US president backing down from a totally unprovoked genocidal threat he issued in the first place.

POTUS apparently has further thoughts on the law of war.
In a brief phone call with NBC News, President Trump declined to provide any update on the status of ongoing negotiations with the Iranians, but he sharply criticized Iran’s call for young people to line up as human shields around power plants. 

“Totally illegal,” he said. “They’re not allowed to do that.”  

As for what motivated him to post this morning that “a whole civilization will die tonight” — a comment that has drawn backlash from around the world — he would only say: “You’ll have to figure that out.”

And if it comes and goes and nothing happens, and the apologists say “it was just a threat to get them to buckle, he never meant he’d actually do it,” it is morally correct to punch them in the face.

Now that at least one U.S. air crew member is alive on the ground in Iran, it's worth revisiting Pete Hegseth's commitment to "no quarter, no mercy for our enemies." This is the scenario he was warned about.
Axios: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's pledge of "no quarter, no mercy for our enemies" violates a bright‑line ban in the laws of war, legal experts say.
