Tom Nichols:The rational thing to do right now would be to put Pete Hegseth in a drunk tank and give Mark Kelly his job. Hegseth’s tenure so far has featured a series of appalling security lapses and janky public performances that call into question not only his character but his emotional stability
Senator Mark Kelly Is in the Wrong Job
He should be secretary of defense.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Air Travel could be significantly improved by the FAA stipulating three things:
* One free checked bag for all customers
* Minimum legroom set at Comfort/Premium Economy standard (which was the old pre-9/11 standard legroom)
* Disallowing stock buybacks for airlines
Every flight instantly better
* One free checked bag for all customers

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

My mind has been spinning the last few days as multiple crises of journalism converged—the Nuzzi book, Epstein’s emails revealing journalists hid information, Trump berating a reporter with no consequence—and it occurred to me they all stemmed from the same source: elite impunity.
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

What if their target is licensed to conceal-carry, and that person takes night deposits to the bank?
Do they get life insurance to cover deaths? Disability insurance?

Oregon literally banned freed slaves and black ppl from living or owning property in the state.
Ofc they didn't do this by passing a law.
THEY PUT IT IN THE STATE CONSTITUTION.
OREGON WAS FOUNDED TO BE A WHITE ETHNOSTATE.
We vote blue but when we amended the const. to remove this, 29% voted no.

I think we need to be careful with conflating "leans Democratic" with "not racist" Maine has a long legacy of racism. So does Oregon which is a blue state. Oregon was literally conceived as a white supremacist fever dream. And the KKK ruled Indiana for a period.

just the cascading effects on our whole society from losing such a tidal wave of queer people
A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.
All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”
And I’ve thought about that every day since.
