One day kids are going to learn about this period and the "Dueling Sister States" -- State pairs contending for control of congress by intentionally gerrymandering their maps. I wonder if they'll contrast it with some major legislation that followed to end it, or say it preluded a second Civil War.

Chauncey Billips' defense is that he was "raising money for the White House Ballroom Fund" and legal experts are calling it the most impressive argument of all time.

Include the link! The fact that bluesky doesn't aggressively suppress links is one of its best features, right up there with the nuclear block. It's great for publishers and also the only way we will ever make progress on the "didn't read past the headline" problem of social media

Fascist politicians who will murder people on the high seas with no legitimate legal authority will not hesitate to murder you, too, when they get around to it.

There isn’t any reason the big tent conversation needs to be conflated with the “who gets to lead things/run for senate conversation.” Plenty of space for people who wanna cover up Nazi tats, just maybe not a Senate seat. No Senate for people with Nazi tats isn’t some rule the left made up yesterday

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular."

Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect."

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

“well he’s better than the other candidate”

i would like to invite you all to consider that rationalizing away things like nazi tattoos instead of demanding that people meet the incredibly low bar of “not having nazi tattoos” is exactly how we have gotten here.

I know we can mention this every day but if Elon responded to an electrician working on the Arby’s sign at the Arby’s he manages by being like “what’re you GAY?” the people at Arby’s would go “well clearly this idiot can’t be trusted with the Arby’s brand”

The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:

1. Federal grants
2. Private gifts/endowments
3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students)
4. State $

For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

It reminds me of when Kavanaugh was under consideration for the Supreme Court and republicans were all like “why do democrats want to deprive this man of the simple dignity of employment?”

all of these people would do well to learn something about “cheap” and “costly” grace. no one is saying that platner is irredeemable, but that some things are a bridge too far for someone seeking a public trust. if he feels truly contrite, he can work on himself and his community and try again.
