Trump is so deranged. He spent months threatening to invade Canada, and it seems like it was because he didn't like the Prime Minister. I haven't heard a peep about it since Carney took office.

My most woke opinion is that we can give indigenous people their land back all of it. They're not going to try and get rid of all white people. We can actually work this out. It's going to be fine.

Also we should let criminals vote. What are we afraid of? That they'll vote to legalize crime?
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

here at the Paper of Record, when an open white supremacist leaks someone's college application in an attempt to imply he got unfair race-based special treatment, even though he was rejected, we know what to do: publish it immediately prospect.org/2025/07/09/2...

I'm going to have a hard time getting out of bed today and I have no buffer for emergencies. I'm well behind where I should be for the month and today I'm going to probably be hungry since between me and food is stairs, work, and the pain of every nerve acting in concert to hurt me.

I look at the way billionaires write and I think I get it now. I get why these dudes are so excited about generative Ai.

It’s crazy how far the elites will go to protect their own. Trump was a reality tv host in 2008 and somehow was protected for his involvement with Epstein and his crimes.
Honestly I’d be surprised if there was an explanation for this.

A major feature of our society is that we know who the good guys and the bad guys are. The worst people take on the aesthetic of their enemies because everyone agrees that they're the bad guys.

This is so obviously a self-serving policy. It allows Bluesky to refuse to give any explanation to its users for why someone was banned. But if the media shows up, they'd love to have that conversation.
We usually do that in response to media requests once they hit that threshold. I’ll try not to weigh in here, since that’s still details of an individual case. An interesting topic for a separate write up though, without discussing case specifics.

So here's a totally-hypothetical-and-therefore-legal musing: It would certainly be something if it turned out that Epstein was the figurehead while Trump was the actual driving force behind the trafficking itself, going back to his years of experience using his own modelling agency.

Kudos to @lastweektonight.com for covering felony murder, an incredibly racist law used to charge people for murder when cops kill someone using "look what you made me do!" abuser logic. Abolish it.

I think she's literally correct here. No one in the senate wants to do it more than her and that's the whole problem.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

I love games about pirates. I think my favorite recent one is the Pale Beyond. Which is a great game, but it comes up short as a pirate game in an number of ways. It's not about pirates, which is a big problem. I also wish it was more about sailing and charting courses. But it's good.

This is one of the best explainers on the ongoing saga out of BC.

Too few mainstream news articles touch on the connections to the Convoy, or the fact that it’s really the same movement, with ostriches.

The farmers are saying this is just starting. it’ll be interesting to see where it goes now.
For months, I’ve been following a Canadian ostrich farm ordered to cull its flock after a bird flu outbreak. It was a cause célèbre for MAHA activists, a MAGA billionaire, and, of course, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The trucker convoy with birds ended last night. They lost. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...
Why the conspiratorial right rallied around a flock of ostriches
The anti-vaccine, anti-government crusade to save "the miracle cure birds" is over — and the fringe activists lost.

The whole economy Is built in compelled speech and it would collapse without it. Doctor have to tell you if they have a license. Food has to say the ingredients on the label. Banks have to tell you the terms of a loan.
The RW obsession with "compelled speech" is as baffling as it is disingenuous. Our speech is compelled each and every day by myriad^2 factors. They're just SO mad they (and no one else) can't call everyone they don't like a fucking slur at all hours of the day until they go blue in the face.

When a billionaire sics a bunch of high powered lawyers Into cases. The judge and the jury should be entitled to an adverse inference. It’s the most suspicious thing ever.
November 6, 2025 at 1:55 PM
Miranda rights kind of suck. Any lawyer will tell you that there's no reason to talk to the police. While anything you say or do can be used against you, it cannot be used for you.
So why can it be waived at all? Any reasonable person would invoke their right to silence and refuse to answer.

Everyone's talking about how Trump said he didn't know who CZ is. I think the much more interesting part of this, is when Trump said "I heard it was a Biden witch hunt", because whoever told him that has a lot of power.
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Ostranauts might be a very good game, and I might be in love with the inventory system from Neo Scavenger. I would have bought it so much earlier if I knew how similar they were.

I say this a lot. There is no possible deal a country can make with America. Even if Trump leaves office and a sensible person takes over, they could elect another crazy guy who will blow up the deals and start making threats.
