There are no norms. All people are exceptions to a rule that doesn’t exist.

The dialogue is a whole other thing but the bit about "fuck you shoot me I'll die for this shit" and the reaction is the crux here, from Gandhi's time on down, no authoritarian in history ever knows how to respond to this and it's why it beats them whenever deployed

Bring on the war crimes
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

it is just a straightforward statement of fact to say that the trump administration sees any black student at an elite institution as one too many
So Much for Class-Based Affirmative Action
The Trump administration considers even race-blind admissions policies illegal if they’re intended to achieve diversity.

Access journalism is a real fucking problem.
Yesterday Fresh Air did an interview with Robert Draper, who has covered Charlie Kirk. And this section on Draper's relationship with Kirk said a lot to me about modern access journalism, and the soft coverage we've seen in the wake of Kirk's death.

for refusing to let Matt Schlapp gaslight and tone police her about Charlie Kirk's well-documented words and actions. I would prefer not to give Schlapp a platform at all, but I appreciated her not letting him grandstand.

Can folks do me a favor?
I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.
I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.
I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.
Here’s two favorite set photos.

@jaketapper.bsky.social seems about right.
Had Joe Biden tweeted "Pete Buttigieg killed it on MSNBC this morning" and Buttigieg wasn't even on, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson would've written a book about it. Normal stuff from Trump though.
Pete Hegseth was not on Fox News this morning. They did play a clip of a video Hegseth posted on social media. Perhaps a confused Trump thought it was live.
