When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

We want money and housing and healthcare, not a shortcut to living the most basic unfulfilled human existence that a coked up programmer can devise. Some of us are happy. Others of us fully imagine that we can become happy. Many of us aren’t afraid of what that costs.

At my parents’ place in SC and the number of spam calls they get is insane. Of ~20 calls a day, maybe 2 or 3 are legitimate. I just put them on the Do Not Call Registry, but this seems like exactly the kind of thing a bipartisan group of legislators could crack down on with broad public support.

A drawing of Elizabeth Bennet, a lovely young woman with her long hair tied up nearly under a ribbon and wearing what is most likely a neo-classically inspired dress, looking pensive, two letters in her hand. Meanwhile Darcy, a handsome but stern-looking fellow, looks longingly at her. Also there is me, a little gremlin in big round glasses, skulking about in the background and hoping that they kiss.

The accompanying text reads “Trung reads Pride and Prejudice for the first time, somehow.”

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.

This is depressing and shameful but I want to highlight @raskin.house.gov's dissenting vote in Committee. He gets it, and I'm glad he put in the time to fully assess this bill and put this on the record. His full dissent is here, at the bottom: www.congress.gov/committee-re...

Unaffordable bail does not keep dangerous people in jail;
it keeps poor people in jail. Without the help of organizations
willing to help by providing free bail assistance, whether
designated as a bail fund, church, or other nonprofit, people
who cannot afford bail might languish in jail for weeks,
months, or even years, while they are waiting for trial. In
that time, they can lose their jobs, their homes, their medical
coverage, access to medical care or medication, or even custody
of their children.
We know that sometimes the most effective tools for justice
are local, nimble, and born from the communities they serve.
H.R. 6260 is aimed directly at those very tools. It is intended
to sever a lifeline for thousands of low-income Americans,
leaving only a potential windfall for the for-profit commercial
bail industry. It is yet another example of misguided,
unnecessary federal meddling into policies that should be left
to the states by the so-called ``party of states' rights.'' My
Republican colleagues pay lip service to values they claim to
hold like limited government regulation, fiscal responsibility,
and personal liberty. Yet they champion this legislation that
openly betrays those values.

This bill does nothing to promote public safety. Instead,
it would stretch federal criminal laws intended to regulate the
insurance industry to reach nonprofit bail funds. There is no
legitimate basis to move the goalposts on the American people
the way this bill does. Nonprofits already are subject to
strict oversight by the Internal Revenue Service. And while
bail funds are not insurance companies, they are subject to
federal prohibitions against wire fraud, money laundering, and
misuse of funds. Adding additional nonsensical layers of
bureaucracy will not make our communities safer, but it will
make it harder for nonprofits to help people in need.
The vast majority of the bonds that these state and local
bail organizations post are for non-violent crimes, and these
organizations are already regulated by their own states. I
challenge my Republican colleagues to explain how subjecting
these groups to federal insurance regulations and federal
criminal penalties will reduce violent crime. I doubt that they
will. The evidence certainly does not support that argument. My
Republican colleagues instead attempt to justify this bill
through purely anecdotal evidence.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …
