“We must delight in each other… rejoice together, mourn together, labor, and suffer together, always having before our eyes…our community as members of the same body. So shall we keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace...”
I was repeating @beijingpalmer.bsky.social’s post all day in the run up to the meeting and man did they get it spot on!
Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.
Trump says he’s meeting with “communist” Mamdani at the White House on Friday

Not only does America now want Ukraine to surrender territory it currently holds — and the people living there — it is essentially asking Ukraine to break its defensive lines, paving the way for Russia's next invasion.
Witkoff has been pitching this plan for months.

Is there going to be an app we can use when we have a gunshot wound and need to determine which emergency room is cheaper tonight?
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."

I try very hard to not “as the father of daughters” much. But as the father of daughters if anybody ever said this around me I wouldn’t let my family in a three square mile radius of them and I’d make sure everybody I knew had the information to do the same.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Maybe it’s just the Humanities professor in me, but let it be noted that events of today (ahem) have demonstrated the value of being able to assess a large volume of qualitative data and do careful textual analysis with deep attention to context.

Bahahahahaha The New York Times just printed an opinion piece declaring "AI is intelligent, so long as we redefine what intelligence means to include it. And soon AI will be conscious, because we'll just redefine consciousness too!"

Look forward to more matches like the CPL final in Ottawa this Sunday. I can’t promise bicycle kicks like that match but it sure is entertaining.
Fan opinion on this is decidedly mixed.

Sure, we should not argue it was corruption when Webb tells us it was incompetence but there is so much smoke coming out of the UAE that it’s really difficult to rule out a fire. So what if they are no longer refereeing UAE games, why are they still refereeing Man City games? Total horseshit.

this is why I've been watching the Marjorie Taylor Greene stuff closely
the signal to soft partisans that it might be time to cut bait on a leader is when other leaders in good standing in the party join in the criticism
if she bucks Trump and gets away with it, and then others follow...

A lot of discourse hasn't caught up with how the strong/somewhat breakdown is even more brutal. His core base of strong support is already falling below a quarter of voters! Even what approval he has is increasingly soft and halfhearted. Whereas disapprovers are much firmer in really hating the man.
