The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Checked to see what Pandora thought counted as #Thanksgiving Music. It turned out to be soft rock, from about 50 years ago.

I feel like I should have guessed that, but I'm not entirely sure why. Can it be as simple as "Thanksgiving music has always been whatever the grandparents like?"

Thank you! I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it myself.

Now will somebody explain to me why we shouldn't be letting homeless people use the airport concourse during hours when nobody else is using it?

I keep saying this but it’s at least very interesting that many doctors didn’t think ADHD persisted into adulthood until you couldn’t buy Ritalin over the counter anymore and most people stopped smoking.
yeah tbh I’d really rather be on ADHD meds and NOT have to develop a two pack a day cigarette habit as someone who’s never smoked before just to function
I guess I can drink twelve coffees a day while chain smoking if you want me to do this in a socially acceptable manner, I just don't see how that's better for my physical or mental health than Vyvanse, y'know?

Let me tell you about the other Epstein files the Trump administration is STILL HIDING — records that aren’t affected by the bill Congress passed today.

Literally shaking. Absolute monsters. DHS's Secretary Noem reassigned agents away from saving a child rape victim and arresting the depraved rapists and traffickers because she's obsessed with Trump's effort to stop immigrants from "poisoning the blood" of the nation.

This is incredibly important:

we must frame tonight as a resounding victory — an electoral landslide, a mandate from the universe itself

and as a repudiation of MAGA, of Trump, and of vichy democrats

we must be relentless, we must not shut up

Sustaining the ability to keep growing food outdoors is a kitchen-table issue.
I actually think the *core* of Democrats’ unwise leftward move was on climate because it creates direct tensions with a classic kitchen table pitch.

All the other stuff (crime, immigration, guns, gender) matters too but the post-2012 pivot off of “all of the above” energy is the most important.
“Dems moved too far left” means BLM and trans equality—and for some, taking COVID seriously—and many Dem politicians really do support those things.

There’s tons of noise and euphemism, but that’s the core argument.

And it is a misguided one, since Dems won the election after that move, in 2020.

This was what sealed the "low-information voter" hypothesis for me: Republicans elected a "businessman" so dumb he actually managed to lose money on a pro sports franchise. But he wasn't dumb enough, so they then went on to elect someone who managed to lose money owning casinos.
Thinking about how, when George W. Bush Jr. ran for president, it came out that he was basically an alcoholic, irresponsible failson *into his 40s*, despite being given opportunity after opportunity (a whole f'ing baseball team!). Then, when he finally decided to cosplay adult ...

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Not to go all Karl Popper on y'all, but as I've long said, I'm okay with most social and even moral rules having an "except for Nazis" exception. And, for that matter, "except for tankies."

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Peter Thiel and his movement fans think he's the smartest guy in the world, but if you listen to him for even one whole minute, you realize that he sounds exactly like a crazy homeless guy yelling at strangers on a street corner. If he hadn't lucked into an early Paypal stake, that's who he'd be.

This feels like people getting excited about the fabulous possibilities of Doritos-flavoured cigarettes you can use to place sports bets. None of this seems good. Social and regulatory norms haven’t even caught up to human-created addictive short video content yet, and now we want to automate it?
