A lot of comments on Mars rovers or Moon landings, but it's important to remember that the planet NASA studies most is Earth. This is less about cutting flashy things like moonwalks and more about keeping communities in the dark on climate, weather, agriculture, pollution, natural hazards, and more.

A fun fact is that you cannot search for recipes in Google anymore. All of the results will be slop. Same template for every recipe, random photo of a woman (always a woman!), dodgy instructions.

a comment from a person who 1) expects nobody to remember that he ran a populist campaign for president and then literally "foamed the runway" (his aide's words!) for his bank donors while they foreclosed on millions of Americans and 2) is certain the interviewer would never dare ask about that

The words of the profits are written on the studio wall…concert hall.

$865 for bowl seats with a VIP online concierge and some merch…yeah thanks but I’ll save my memories of Grace Under Pressure in 1984 for like $20.

If I'd hazard an addendum, I'd say even rural Oregon is like this. Maybe its the frontier mentality - people moved from the east &midwest and its institutions (churches, etc.) Logger country isn't midwest farm country. And like you say, white supremacy has its adherents in parts of the state.

Love the Northwest, spent my childhood and 10 years as an adult in Seattle, but Portland always seemed weirder and slightly more aggro -lacked that passive-aggressive “Seattle nice” thing. More like Berkeley with a sense of humor and much stronger weed.

This feels like a pitch from 2015 or 2024 but is absolute bunk now. It’s totally switched back.

For this week's column I wrote about the way that the countercultural intellectual energy of the right - and lack thereof on the left - is drawing in young people, esp men, who would once have been drawn to radical leftist thinkers

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

ICE drag girl out of car & body slam her to ground—then pin her face down & kneel on her neck.

"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

Diane Keaton was so cool she singlehandedly turned an otherwise unwatchable Woody Allen movie about Woody Allen having sex into one of the greatest movies of all time.

MAGA appeals to people who need to feel special, who need enemies to blame, who need simple answers to complex problems. It attracts those who mistake confidence for competence, who confuse being loud with being right, who think that admitting uncertainty is weakness

Who Goes MAGA?
With apologies to Dorothy Thompson, whose 1941 essay in Harper’s, “Who Goes Nazi?” remains a worthwhile read on the cultural archetypes of who is drawn to fascism, and who would never go down such …
