Maybe it's just me but this doesn't feel like it is a big enough story. Even a few years ago, this would have garnered an entire day's coverage on cable news.

If you oppose the death penalty this is bad. If you support the death penalty this is bad. There’s no world where actually it’s good and we should have beaten Hegseth to the punch. That’s stupid. Don’t think so hard you start to think stupid things sound smart.

I’ve seen several friends by this point wrap themselves around to a “actually public live-streaming of executions is good” position from the left and like, man, I promise you, you don’t need to overthink this so much. It’s plain and simple barbarism and it’s bad.

Chess meets Balatro in Gambonaza. I'm terrible at real chess. I have an understanding of how the pieces move (except the knight because fuck them) but I am terrible at the strategy. This is a lot more fun. I enjoy the randomness and the upgrades. 10/10.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I'd add that there are lots of Republicans actually taking money from Elon Musk, and they are rarely or never asked about his more radical/racist statements.

I've been immersed in research on Reconstruction in Lousiana and it's a very difficult truth to absorb that the white terrorist movement in the South was among the most successful terrorist movements in global history. Took 10 years but it won a total & complete victory through murder and atrocity.

I wish more pro-Palestinian activism had to do with Palestine. Like, you want to protest the Pratt and Whitney plant? Fine. They make the engines that power the jets that blow up chunks of Palestine. Clear line of causality. I get it. The fuck do people want Zohran to do, exactly?

We are, for the fourth decade running, being told that the only choice is nightmare fascism under the GOP or the return of liberal democratic norms, however flawed, under Democrats, when the real choice is: Will the Dems win and do nothing, or botch another easy layup and lose? What a country!

I think it's important to state this plainly. They tortured this woman, and not properly to death. She was stabbed until the metal needle itself bent, then injected with a caustic substance that entered the lacerated parts of those extremities where it pooled, dissolving and burning her flesh.
