like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”
uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"

Another Onion headline that ends up being 100% true
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

I interviewed the heads of police groups; immigration defense attorneys, ex-judges and ex-prosecutors; former DOJ and DHS officials, and the former head of Border Patrol.

They're all horrified at what we've seen, and they all fear what's coming.
Trump’s Immigration Nightmare: It Is Happening Here
With astonishing speed, the administration has toppled the most cherished pillars of a free society. And the experts agree: It’s all going to get much, much worse.

Dickhead fans are given way too much leeway. We need a Ron Arrest moment in the NFL.
Here’s Metcalf’s side. If he did report this fan in the past, I’m sure there’s a record of it.

I don't listen to Matt's ideas on combatting the right for the same reason that I don't listen to the Washington Generals plan for defeating the Globetrotters
IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.

The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

The war crime apologia and using his law degree to lie his ass off should get him thrown in jail, but wearing a quarter-zip in between his shirt and jacket should get him executed.

"Righteous strikes." "Entirely lawful."

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

anyone who finds rfk jr. sexually appealing should be added to a publicly accessible registry
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.

But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.
The inexplicable sex appeal of RFK Jr.
How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.

If you do commercial lit, you'll find that they are just as bad with the things they announce at earnings calls. I have seen multiple antitrust-ish cases where key evidence was "here's the annual brochure where we brag about our scheme to shareholders"
Do enough litigation and you realize that most people are positively moronic about what they put in their emails.
of all the atrocities these emails likely allude to, it's still amazing that 'elites' write awful things *in emails*. so above the law, so convinced of their rectitude, so conditioned to impunity.

before litigation doc review was refined to heavily screen out chaff i would have to spend hours of paid time marking nudes that brokers sent to each other via their work accounts as "non-responsive"

The KU defense somehow manages to let a big run up the middle happen a couple of times per game, and every time there is nobody near the runner.

The pattern has existed for ages: Republicans lie about what Democrats are planning in order to give themselves permission to do that thing. It's not that the accusations are confessions, the accusations are battle plans.
Ted Cruz: "I think right now the 2 frontrunners for the Democratic nomination in 2028 are AOC and Mamdani. Now, he's not even eligible, but what do they care? Law doesn't mean anything to them. That's where their party is."
