Sally Quinn and David Broder said Bill Clinton trashed "their town." She, and the DC press corps, were deeply, violently offended at the metaphorical "trashing" of DC by Bill. Crickets about the actual trashing of DC by Trump.

@lemieuxlgm.bsky.social justice got around to reading Schepelle’s “When Elections Don’t Count “ on Bush V Gore , and what a brutal, brilliant takedown she delivers. A really wonderful read (even though the topic is of course frightfully depressing)

I think the point is that pundits like Matty put democracy below everything else, and that's a problem. Matty feels it is condescending to write "democracy matters". And yes, we do need to fin d a way to appeal better to Ariana Grande voters.

A new view of a familiar field 🤩 Meet NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory's breathtaking view of the renowned COSMOS field🌀✨ rubinobservatory.org/news/rubin-n... 🔭🧪 🧵
A dense field of countless pinpoint stars fills the frame against the deep black of space, creating a fine, grainy texture like fine sand spread across a smooth table. Dozens of particularly bright stars in blue, yellow, and orange glitter across the scene like jewels.

Wispy, grayish clouds of galactic dust drift across the center and right sides of the image, appearing soft and powder-like against the dark background.

Scattered throughout the entire scene are stars and faint objects in shades of blue, yellow, and red. Some appear as sharp, solid points, while others are soft, diffuse smudges. Zooming in reveals that many of these tiny, faint smudges scattered between the stars are actually distant galaxies, varying from smooth, pebble-like blobs to faint, stretched lines.

We’re rapidly approaching a situation in which it becomes legally hazardous to express any criticism of “gender critical” views. The combination of well-funded lawfare and well-funded media moral panic is extremely dangerous to free speech for everyone, as well as obviously to trans people’s rights.

It;s precisely in the fact that he could have been different but consciously chose to Make Trump great - just like McConnell - that he embodies the true evil of the modern GOP actively, knowingly, calculatingly working to destroy the Republic.

This Day in Labor History: July 6, 1892. In one of the Gilded Age’s most notorious anti-labor acts of violence, 300 Pinkerton detectives, working for Andrew Carnegie’s Homestead Steel, cracked down on thousands of strikers, leading to a gunfight that killed three Pinkertons and seven strikers!!!

China’s military said on Monday that it test-launched a long-range ballistic missile from a nuclear submarine, a rare display of advanced capabilities that set off concerns from U.S. allies across Asia and the Pacific www.wsj.com/world/china/...

“I know it’s hard to believe this is real, so here’s the link” will be the standard journalistic disclaimer for the entire Trump era. Writing about Vlad the impaler impaling 20k people does not l need this kind of note to reassure people they aren’t being fed hallucinatory bullshit

This whole decision has nothing to do with Chuck, god help me the flying monkeys out to get him (and I have no time for him at all) are weird. But the central take away is just how close Trump came to not eating shit and on this case, and what that says about the court and the radical right

It seems like nearly everyone is mad about Maine, but hardly anyone is mad at Maine. Maine hasn’t elected a Democrat to the Senate in 38 years (only Mississippi, Kansas, Wyoming, Utah, & Idaho have gone longer). That’s not on Schumer or Sanders. That’s on Maine.
