The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

This is clown car stuff. “A.i.” as it exists is NOT on track to become “smarter than humans.” It’s just fancy autocorect, and it sucks for nearly everything except cheating and scamming.

I know professors personally who have had their lives destroyed by being doxxed by the Professor Watchlist organized by Turning Point USA, for saying the "wrong thing" in class one time. I will not celebrate violence but I also will not pretend this is "practicing politics the right way."

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Not many omnibus films in the National Film Registry, beyond Disney’s Fantasia. This year I’m nominating my favorite 21st Century example of the form, which would be the first Registry entry for segment directors Caveh Zahedi, Jay Rosenblatt, @vsoe.bsky.social, Paul Harrill, Ira Sachs & many others.

I spend a lot of time contemplating what's happening politically and trying to interpret/make sense of it. But I also take time off for pleasure. And then come back to the work. We're all in the fog of civil war, and it behooves us to go to whatever gives us back the clearer, bigger vision.

Dear Press: it's not a "clash." "Protestors CLASH with ICE agents blah blah blah"
One side (cops, ICE, CPB) is heavily armored and armed, and starts violence at every opportunity. The other side (protestors) is hardly ever armed, and shows up with signs. It's not a "clash."
