I swear to god that no writer lays out moral clarity as plainly and succinctly (and regularly) as @robynelyse.bsky.social.
It's easy to not immediately think outside the debate terms of a news cycle, or even remember that there *is* an outside, which is why her tireless reminders are invaluable.

Come take a whiff of Old Atlanta!
The best video store on the planet for 25+ years and still counting. In the late 90s this place turned my love of movies into an obsession. And most surprisingly, it still smells the same! Seriously made me a little teary-eyed coming back after all these years. Thank you @videodrome.bsky.social!

DOGE vowed to make government more ‘efficient’ — but it’s doing the opposite
New procedures and requirements — some implemented in the name of improving operations — are slowing down federal agencies.

The thousands of lockstep comments under Bouie’s post are a lens into an insular discursive space dedicated to staying pure, marginalized and permanently unattractive to the majority of the country across ethnic lines. It is a tendency that absolutely pushed normies toward the catastrophe of MAGA.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

"The pursuit of military excellence cannot be diluted to accommodate political agendas" is a funny way to begin this argument
this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.
