Tom Nichols: you see you can’t call this fascist because for one, he’s allowing his blood and soil rant to be taped, and two, he’s not a threat to me personally.
Bovino’s rant fits the authoritarian indicators in our assessment: empowered security forces acting with impunity, militarized immigration raids, executive overreach through federalized enforcement, and loyalty-driven ops unmoored from oversight. His tone isn’t an outlier but a symptom.

I love and admire Ben for many reasons, and one of them is how perfectly he is able to distill the pathetic-ness of the right and instill hope and solidarity in everyone else around him.

Folks, I did it. I made the Cooks Illustrated competing pear crisps, and then I made my friends judge them blind.

okay but genuinely I would love to see this. we have the recipes posted. we have the evaluation criteria. this is the nerd website. we CAN do this.
The pear crisp thread has a methods section. We can replicate it. I want to see a Bluesky pear crisp meta-analysis by the end of the month.
they were then asked to rank each crisp on a scale of “very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, very dissatisfied”, which became numerical rankings. it was a verbal sharing process because cmon, it’s a hang. you don’t eat pear crisp in silence

Trump and Pete Hegseth just killed three more people in another bombing, this time in the Pacific. The dead were said to be part of a "designated terrorist organization," which is itself utterly absurd. No evidence provided.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!

It gets even darker than that. 1/

The last time I wanted to fuck a 17 year old was when I was 17 years old
every time some prominent man is like ‘but all men want to fuck 17 year olds! every last one!’ i feel just fucking empty man. because there’s no way to confirm it isn’t true is there? i can’t prove that all of civilization isn’t just an elaborate cover for men’s supposed desperation to fuck children
