i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.
i feel that with my dad.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Portland is ... right there. It's a real place. People live in it. People can go look at it. You could call someone there right now.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

There needs to be truth and reconciliation for all the algorithm decisions being made at x right now. Musk is putting a huge thumb on the scale. The information campaign kicked into high gear after Charlie kirk died.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.
That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

The problem is “race has some biological reality” ie something like skin color (which gets complicated for line drawing immediately) very rapidly becomes “and that’s why black people can’t be scientists”

right, there is something of a motte and bailey here. like, if “race has some biological reality” just means that phenotypes are biological, then you’re just stating a banal observation. but that is not what people mean.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
