Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

this story genuinely shocked me, and I'm so very sorry to hear it
I waited until there was a source that I felt comfortable relying on, but holy fuck

Repugnant. Someone who knows this man personally needs to get on the phone and yell at him for an hour.

If many of us are quiet about politics online nowadays, it isn't that we don't care and we're not mobilized offline.

We talked about this for years. We warned them. So many who are upset now did not listen! They thought they knew better than we did.

So much of this suffering was preventable.

So what exactly are we supposed to do when SCOTUS gets rid of executive agencies? What are we supposed to do when the Court gets rid of birthright citizenship? Because fuck if I know, and it sounds like nobody else knows, either.

Dude. Yes. Alito and Thomas are of course the standout examples, but all of the Republican justices have tells in their writing and their questioning indicating that they are, to varying degrees, marinating their brains in dumb bitch juice
My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
The part that I can't figure out is what John Roberts thinks he is doing. He used to seem to be a judge who was very attentive to appearances, I think on a theory that you can't draw too much attention to yourself without undermining your ability to continue to shape the law.

FFS. At least check that the item you want from the library actually exists!
Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from.

We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.
I wish a notice like this wasn't necessary.

Just a petty, small man.
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

Costco sues the Trump admin to ensure that it gets its money back if/when SCOTUS declares the tariffs illegal. This is what happens when the court lets the president break the law for a little while.

Thanks, CJ Roberts!

We must never forget: it wasn’t just the kooky Great Barrington Declaration dudes who promoted RFK Jr & his anti-vaxx BS—it was also some magazines, like The New Yorker, which celebrated him as a “maverick” who would take on “the establishment”

RFK Jr’s hype men will have dead kids as their legacy
For all his unfounded beliefs and suspicions, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,’s revolt isn’t against research but against the power long held by scientific insiders—and in this he might have a point, Daniel Immerwahr writes.

It used to be progressives who distrusted the experts. What happened?

“Nonono, it’s not eugenics it’s just empowering us to select in children the traits we prefer.”

Eugenicists have tried this rebrand. They adopted the term “reprogenetics” and argued that because it’s being done to genes directly, treating human like cattle to be bred for certain traits is fine.
His “it’s not a eugenics company” tee is raising questions already answered by his shirt. www.cbsnews.com/news/nucleus...

This is in the weeds, but please be reminded that this gross usurpation of the Institute of Peace was made possible by a Supreme Court order from the shadow docket in an unrelated case, which then three Trump judges on the D.C. Circuit ran with to allow this usurpation to proceed.
