Lethal injection replacing hanging and electric chairs is supposed to be about being humane, but it's clearly anything but. All of that also seems more about assuaging the feelings of the people involved in the execution rather than treating the condemned with dignity

Donald doesn't seem to understand the concept that building a military complex on top of a ballroom makes said ballroom a legitimate military target. He's basically using everyone who comes to events in said nonexistent ballroom into human shields, which, last I checked, is a war crime.

Side note on this: wartime Benzedrine and other amphetamines were produced in such gigantic quantities for the allies that students in the UK and Australia after the war used to take them routinely when cramming for exams.

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

I love Thing Doer settings. Both Ace Combat and Pokémon are Thing Doer settings. Everything revolves around the Thing One Does. I dropped my daughter off at prom in a F/A-18. Dragonite does my taxes. All human activity revolves around Thing. Fuck you.

Unironically, the best thought-out retort to this BS. You can’t debate them. They think it’s funny when you bring out facts and figures and laws and then they just blow you a raspberry and say “nuh-uh.” They exhaust you until you give up and then claim victory. Fuck these goons.

If the future of democracy depends on shared truth, and if shame is the right response to bad faith, what is the future of democracy when men like Eric Schmitt not only shrug off humiliation but are even rewarded for it? For an answer, I got in touch with @donmoyn.bsky.social.

He also, per the affidavit, said: "Let's see if the FBI is going to to show up at my door because I'll shoot them motherfuckers too." Other transcribed statements include "I'm going to be a murderer one day" and "One day I'm going to turn into that person just like the people you see on the fucking videos on YouTube where they fucking run up to the police officer and they have no reason at all and then they make the police kill them. I'm gonna be that guy."

And it is striking to me how obviously idiotic that racist mindset it when I very obviously have more in common with an Asian-American or Hispanic-American or whatever-American student raised in North Carolina (or anywhere else in the USA, frankly) than I do with my good friends in Europe.

Man, you have to be just...really racist...not to come away from spending basically any time at all at an American university with a nearly boundless faith in the power of American assimilation. All sorts of students whose ancestors came from all over, utterly and completely American, all the way.

Significant numbers of leftists think Mayor Mamdani has betrayed the left by putting out an anti-antisemitism plan at all, and groups that claim to fight antisemitism like the ADL are giving Mamdani zero credit because he has not suddenly endorsed Zionism, and I am caught between and I am tired.

Biden was absolutely in "decline" in that he was aging and that comes with increased frailty, decreased energy, and everything associated with it (and we will all face that if we are lucky to live to 80+) but I've just never seen any real evidence for anything more serious brain-wise

I feel the need to note that the Romans don't really present 'power' (potentia, vis) as their chief virtue. Instead, the Romans were "always harping on fides ['faith, trust']" (Dioc. Sic. 23.1); Cicero gives the virtue where Rome surpasses others as pietas (piety, Cic. Har. resp. 9.19).

The Green Party's strategy of exit via vote withholding just didn't work. It didn't work at all. It couldn't have worked until the Clintonite triangulation stopped paying electoral dividends, and the reason that stopped working was because Tea Party. Nader caused nothing except the Iraq War.

People really dont appreciate that Beto led a grand total of two (2) polls in 2018. The race ended up being close but not once was there the idea that Beto was measurably ahead via polling. Talarico--and 2026--is in a totally different space
