I like politics and religion, but only insofar as they advance the condition of the people who inhabit this finite world.
RIP Eric Flint (1947-2022), you will be eternally missed by your fans. You dealt a blow to reactionaries that cannot be undone.

A list of books I think people should have to read to better understand our world:
The 1632 series by the late Eric Flint et al. (at least the main series arc and the Caribbean arc)
The Arc of a Scythe series by Neal Shusterman.
The Hunger Games trilogy+ from Suzanne Collins.

So in spring, Pam Bondi said there was nothing to the Epstein investigation, then “closed” it. Now, they “find” 1 million more docs.
So did she close this without seeing these docs? Or was someone hiding them?

Surely, there is a consulate, embassy, or mission of some humane nation in Maryland that might be willing to extend a hand of protection and put an end to this sham?

Disrespectfully, the DOE could make it easier to turn mining products into real, sustainable power. It's called nuclear fission. There's uranium and thorium in them thar hills. The admin even says it's a clean, green source of power. Why on 🌍 are we saying coal is good?
I grew up in central Pennsylvania coal country in the 1970s and 80s and I remember how my small town had more than one oxygen supply store because so many of my schoolmates’ grandpas were slowly dying in their living rooms from black lung.
struggling with an analogy here but imagine NASA posting a meme about how excited they are to return aviation to the pre-jet age

2. They declare themself unable
3. The VP/cabinet declares them unable
4. Resign
5. Impeachment and conviction
6. Shuffle off this mortal coil

... so I did reactivate my Facebook/Insta accounts. They won't make much money off of me, I suppose. But I will never dream of going back to Xitter. Unless he sells the damned thing, and maybe not even then.

Charlie is increasingly one of my favorite sources of news, largely for humor reasons. I'm also convinced he's something of a sleeper "Rogan" of the center-left.

Can I just say that maybe, just maybe, no one should be granted a permit to build any residential or commercial building in city limits, anywhere, unless there's a current or planned regular public transit line that stops within about a kilometer or less (as the pedestrian walks) of that property?

I am inclined to think any rational Senator would say "fuck, no!" to a judicial nominee who, as a member of the Bar and officer of the Justice Department, told his subordinates either in style or substance to give the finger to federal court rulings, but what do I know...

In case you haven't seen this phenomenon of young white men adoring Rhodesian soldiers, it's basically "idolizing Confederate soldiers doesn't adequately convey how racist I am, I don't think segregation/apartheid should have ever officially ended"
it's important to keep constantly in view just how degenerate the young online right is (and how they love to further debase themselves with posts like the one screenshot); that said, it's also frankly demeaning to have to pay attention to this kind of shit

God forbid he own an active interest in his peanut farm while running the country... And when it was demanded of him, what did he do? Who did he care about more: the country, or his business? What did he do with his time on Earth? To whom much was given, much was expected, and he delivered.
I wish the USA had respected Jimmy Carter more than they had. He was an amazing man. He was probably the most honest president we have ever had.

It’s true, as many have suggested, that if they can do this to Sen. Padilla, they can do it to others.
I’d only add that they already have been doing this to others.
A mass deportation regime, sooner rather than later, becomes contemptuous of civil liberties and basic decency.

Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war.
These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack.
We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.
