There isn’t an era in which those of the greatest wealth haven’t fallen for the dumbest quack science and conspiracy theories. They all think there’s some secret knowledge only they can access when they just could have gotten a library card.

He’s having his way with the city because he can which is because we’re not a state despite being a place with more people than several states.

All of the “presidential commissions” need to be abolished as they were based on good faith.
Really good blog here. It's obviously not the worst thing the administration has done but the extent to which Trump is dedicated getting his personal grease all over every public thing in DC, and making them more expensive, exclusive, and worse, is really infuriating. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...

My barber said, “He’s about money.”
Breaking MS NOW:

FBI Director Kash Patel flew today on the FBI's Gulfstream jet bound for a trip to the winter Olympics in Italy to watch one of his favorite sports: men's ice hockey.

Patel's trip to Milan is likely to cost as much as $75,000. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

I’m mad a preference poll!

You could flip this list and it would amount to as likely a field and its order a year from now.

I really hope foreign languages are taught differently these days. Back when, it was just offered as a skill, like knowing Spanish or French might be useful somehow, not that it was an entry into different cultures, or that if you wanted to study history or loved travel French would be handy.

Some may have called it Three Women in a Bathtub. Many called it something way worse.
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

personally, if i was in charge, as soon as i saw that americans were fully convinced that a 1/4 pounder cheese burger was bigger than a 1/3 pounder, i would’ve hit the abort button, wiped everyone out, and started over fresh.

The way you know they mean “race” and not culture is that Americans have many common and overlapping cultures, but he doesn’t see this because he thinks of race as an exclusive category. They don’t want a “common culture” open to all participants, they want race hierarchy.

My Irish ancestors showed up, were told they weren’t white, called papists, and denied employment except for the most menial jobs, Elon. We couldn’t be trusted in higher office because we were going to take direction from the Pope until within my parents’ lifetimes. Fuck off, Elon.
When Bereleh and Faygel Krugman emigrated from Belarus to New York, which was mostly Catholic and Jewish in 1920, I don't think they did for the Scots (with one t) Irish culture

I know why my great-grandparents and their parents fled the shtetls of the Pale of Settlement to America, and it had nothing to do with admiration of “Anglo-Scotch-Irish culture” (which is not a thing in the first place).

Elon Musk is a racist South African who seems to pine for apartheid.

"Democrats are going along with it" needs a big fat fucking [citation needed] tag. They've literally forced a lapse in DHS appropriations right now trying to do anything they can to slow down ICE - and the reality is that there is not that much they can do!
There is no easier or more important political position to take than to do everything possible to stop this. It will change our society forever, and Democrats are going along with it.

Earlier American “WASP culture” told my Irish ancestors that they weren’t white.
The white culture debate is hilarious because most of its defenders eventually admit they are defending something else.
