I have written pretty extensively about what policies I'd like to see in regards to Israel/Palestine, I am happy to condemn anybody you want me to if the US is willing to impose an arms embargo on Israel until they agree to a settlement freeze.
What Should Israel Do?
Like many Americans, I’ve spent much of the last six months arguing about Israel and Palestine online. In doing so, I’ve found myself perennially frustrated by how abstract the discussi…

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

It is not just that SCOTUS is weakening Congress by giving its powers to Trump; it is also weakening other parts of the judiciary.
It is overturning decisions in a fashion it did not do under Biden (hat tip to @adambonica.bsky.social for the graph).

not doing the official new york times thing, but if you're curious what my 10 favorite movies of the last 25 years are they are these plus a bunch of honorable mentions.
don't ask me why your favorite movie didn't make my list, the answer is probably "haven't seen it"

This is why you gotta stick with the GOATs - Sandra Boynton, Taro Gomi, Mo Willems. Too many fly by night operations ruining bedtime.
It’s amazing how many kids’ picture books seem to get published without anyone ever once reading them out loud. Just total meter/rhythm fails.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Ann Leckie too!
There are great writers of scifi/fantasy who have either expressed support (Tade Thompson) and written sympathetic trans and n-b characters (NK Jemisin, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Robin Hobb) in their works who everyone should read instead. They're way better authors too.
I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually
If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.
