Looks like Trump's bold strategy of committing war crimes has once again failed to win over the Nobel Peace Prize committee. Tough crowd.

Deeply American sentence (from Davy Crockett’s wikipedia page)
Despite Crockett’s opposition to the institution of slavery in the United States, he did enslave people.

Wow! Texts are super rare for the Hittites, basically there’s just one archive and it’s 95% lists of prayer sacrifices to mountain gods, so this is really, really exciting!

The Comstock Act sat asleep for a century. Now anti-abortion groups want an 1873 anti-obscenity law championed by a man who hoarded dildos—yes really!—to ban abortion nationwide. All it takes is an AG willing to enforce it and five justices willing to let him. New Baby Boom! Lawyered. Out now.

My MAGA focus group felt betrayed by tariffs, high gas prices, and inflation. I asked if there was any way Republicans could win back their support, and they replied only if they could prove that the pain had fallen harder on Black people.

The Woke are coming off a down season but the core remains intact and they've called up some young talent. Advanced metrics suggest their stars were underperforming their peripherals for much of the summer. Expect contention as early as next season if they sign some high heat relief over the winter

There’s an argument in the comments about when public executions stopped, but like… State actors have been executing people in public, with little consequence or holding them accountable, for a very long time.

I research frats. It's this: they are networks that provide connections to power, wealth, and impunity, especially historically white organizations. The big ones are extremely well monied.
In fact, Greek life regularly produces very powerful people. According to the New York Times, only about 2% of the US population is affiliated with Greek life but 80% of top executives at Fortune 500 companies and large majorities of US Congress, Presidents, and Supreme Court justices are 'Greeks.' And, despite Harris's political ascendency, the benefits of Greek life disproportionately favour members of historically white, male Greek-lettered fraternities, and reflect the inequities of US society as a whole.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

He’s losing a war and can’t lie his way out, he’s poised for a midterm rebuke, he can sense his power waning, he’s desperate to feel strong, so he reaches for one he’s always been able to flex, get the right to say particular words—then mainstream media usually follows—but that isn’t working either.

Often hearing about turning research into industry applications. This article from Chile's Center for Astrophysics and Associated Technologies is probably the clearest explanation of a successful strategy I have seen to date. They set up a specialist team to sit between researchers & industry.

Anywho, I've been disappointed in most abortion rights organizations in the U.S. for decades now. The orgs that have acquitted themselves the best have been the abortion funds. You should direct your support and money to them.

In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?

We are spending this much money, not for some vital national interest, but in order to secure oil shipments from the Gulf Monarchies to China so that oil prices don't spike before the midterms. There are Navy guys who haven't seen their family in 8 months doing it so the GOP can maybe win KS-SEN

I’m on a flight next to a guy who is listening to Seinfeld with no headphones and all I hear is the laughtrack and the worst bass noises of all time every 15 seconds and all I can think about is this.
Pftompkins.bsky.social: The music of Seinfeld, divorced from the show itself, is nothing short of disgusting. Imagine if the show didn’t exist but the music somehow did. Hearing it, your face would twist in angry revulsion

Countries in history have turned to socialism—whether you mean authoritarian communism like the USSR or social democracy like Norway—and I can't think of any that experienced a big demographic change right before. The MAGA definition of "socialist" is "not white." Same definition of "criminal."
