Why do all official U.S. government social media posts now sound like they were written by bratty 7th-graders trying to mimic Jim Jordan?

Wow. Genuinely shocked, and a hugely consequential decision.

Importantly, this is a case where @martylederman.bsky.social's amicus brief appears to have made a MAJOR impact. Before he wrote it, courts were sidestepping the "regular forces" issue entirely. And that's what the Trump admin lost on.
NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The people who say they are opposed to participation trophies want their children to receive diplomas for refusing to learn and if anyone suggests their precious little unique dandruff flake has to actually do the work then off with their heads.

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday
Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.

it's just so emblematic of what passes for conservative thought, this belief that their children go to college not to leave ignorance behind by learning from experts, but rather to teach the experts from their locus of ignorance, and to have their nonsensical prior assumptions validated as true

An important corollary:

The jump from "pride" to "hiding" is an important one, but *needs* to proceed to "consequences" immediately in the next administration, or it will all happen again.

Ian's "I guess" is underselling the significance of this shift IMO

Hiding from the thing they were just crowing about this summer is a big f*cking deal
Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

any time the catholic church does something i have to wait for one of my normal catholic friends to tell me if the news is Good, Good (with caveats about the nature of the church), Good (with caveats about the nature of the church *in america*), or Bad with the same distinctions. way too complicated

The only people who like AI is the generation that can be fooled into giving someone 50K in a shoebox. Young people think it looks like cheap shit.

"The ice block weighed 250 lbs but they didn't care. They found some guys to carry it on set. Bear in mind this wasn't a commercial. This was a photo shoot of frying pans"

They made him build an entire set of a kitchen with a hidden dry ice rig to make smoke for the shoot. He said it looked fantastic and it was the right call, but this was clearly a response to what crap AI is pushing out and the kids don't like it

He got hired by some ad firm to do a shoot for cookware. All the creatives on their team were late Gen Z and vehemently opposed to anything that wasn't real. He said "I told them we can photoshop the frying pan in ice but they were like NO BRUH BUILD THE ICE BLOCK" They wanted everything to be real

For those of us worried AI is gonna end creative jobs, I heard a funny story this weekend from a parent of one of my kids classmates who happens to be a production designer. He builds sets and things like that. He's worked on Ray Donovan, Always Sunny, and a bunch of FX shows.

Still in a state of shock trying to process the tragic loss of one of the most gifted men in the entertainment industry & his wife when the Embarrassment-in-Chief disgraces common human decency with this repulsive, deranged statement.
