Why does he spend all his time cosplaying? He's supposed to be running the world's largest bureaucracy during a time of war.

I once went to an NSO concert at the Kennedy Center where Alito was sitting in the booth across from us. It ruined the whole thing for me because I kept trying to burn a hole through his forehead with the sheer power of my hatred for that awful man.

it's such a perfect example of what is actually alito's hallmark as a justice, shoddy, sub-undergraduate thinking dressed up with five dollar words.

I was late to Twitter so it was so weird seeing people treat that guy like he was a serious journalist for a while. I followed him because so many people I was following did and was confused because he just seemed so awful. Though I miss him being a Resistance grifter and not.... whatever he is now.

Seems weird to sue in order to compel the government to not break the law, but I guess that's better than nothing.

And of the major SCOTUS decisions that overrode the will of the legislature, the only good ones, for the most part, are ones that were only necessary because of the ridiculous filibuster rule in the Senate.

Gotta say... anecdotally.... the part of southern Fairfax County that I drive through that used to be filled with hyper-partisan Republicans who put out a zillion lawn signs for every race are completely free of political signage despite it being mid-September. Fingers crossed.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:

Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse

I read today in an article in The Daily Beast that some military leaders have privately begun referring to Pete Hegseth with the nickname "No Tab Pete" and I nearly spit my drink out. I then realized that everyone should have the knowledge to appreciate this ruthless nickname. (thread)

Obama had 60 votes in the Senate for like a month total and his signature bill--Obamacare--wasn't even squeezed through then because a handful of Democrats (and let's not forget Joe Lieberman) sabotaged it.

Trump's stupid chart of "greatest" presidents is actually a ranking of presidents from Life Magazine in 1948, with his name added at the top and the Democrats he doesn't like at the bottom. Exactly the kind of thing a healthy, high-functioning person shares.

Michael Kohler @thekohler.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Man. That original ranking is ROUGH. White supremacist AF. Apparently the worst thing a president can do is defend the rights of African-Americans, while segregation is to be celebrated. Though since chuds often pretend Wilson was "progressive" in the modern sense it's so lazy that they left him up.

I also don't like antivaxers, homeopaths, etc. But chiropracty wins bonus awful points by being dangerous. If you're an antivaxer you can change your mind the next day but once a chiropractor gives you permanent damage to your spine you're pretty much boned.
