Trump voters are drawn to the enormous set of falsehoods that drives his base BECAUSE of their values. One does not simply stumble into this array of incorrect beliefs. And I don’t think you can change someone’s entire value system—including mine—by chatting over a cup of coffee or a beer.

The willingness to tell and defend absurd lies has become a—or even “the”—core GOP litmus test. The more ridiculous the better. He was just using this stage to lay down his marker.

He is one of my favs and I’d love to do this book club. In person most times I think. But I am just a community member and the sign up options just listed faculty/staff/student. I checked “student” as I do think of myself that way. Is that OK? I don’t want to be a rule breaker.

Yeah definitely the country would be in the exact same situation now if Harris had won and the Dems controlled Congress. You are very smart to recognize this.

In Scottsdale we are absolutely inundated with Waymos. I constantly dealing with Waymos, both in my car and on my bike. I’d 100% switch every human-driven car for a Waymo. Yeah, Waymos aren’t perfect but humans absolutely suck at safe driving. (Self-driving Tesla’s, OTOH, are scary bad).

The only possible rationale that makes sense to me is that Jeffries is trying to get himself cut into the profiteering. The insider deals. That is something he could accomplish with this meeting. There is no conceivable advantage for the Democratic Party or the country.

ALT version.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel.  To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.


This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

🗞️As a former Managing Editor of Stars and Stripes I can tell you it is the most important newspaper in the world because it exists to inform and protect our troops from people like the despicable Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump who do not believe they — or anybody for that matter — are owed the truth.

That is a position one can hold. I did medical school in SF decades ago. I recall a constant stream of deaths and serious injuries from accidents involving human-operated automobiles. Ongoing, as far as I can tell. I’m not sure why humans are still allowed to drive.

The Human @thehuman.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
Of course they should. They need to keep improving. There are ways they can do that. My point is…as someone who spends a lot of time driving, cycling, and walking on roads populated by both Waymo’s and human-driven cars…I trust the Waymos WAY more. (Tesla FSD is another story…that scares me)

Have you seen how humans drive?! I live in Scottsdale, where we have tons of these. I drive and bike with them all the time. I’ve ridden in them. I’d honestly feel a LOT safer if every single car was a Waymo.

I’d really like to know why they didn’t put “under God” in there. The kind of thing that if even one person had suggested it, they’d HAVE to do it, lest they get reported. Makes me think just a few people are responsible for these posts. Won’t be shocked the see the “corrected” version soon.

I had been in a huge Mishima phase when it came out and it was terrific. A couple years ago I was rewatching Cat People, also from Paul Schrader a couple years earlier, and noticed this on a bedside table.
