"disliking me is persecution" describes so incredibly many people's entire outlook these days defector.com/free-press-r...

The Louisiana argument is essentially that you CAN use race to be racist but you CAN'T use race to ameliorate racism.

Apologies. I was remarking on Jack’s (what I took as) sarcastic statement that Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts, and that while that may have been the quiet part at that time, they were extremely loud about other prejudices at the time.

Big, big difference between islamaphobic and racist. Not that Republicans were ever either of those people things, or that they’re not having those views was more audible at a given time relative to now.

That means they were in their late 20s when I was being lectured for suggesting the Tea Party had anything to do with racism.

Tom Task: “Let me do my task, Chief!”
Chief: “No, Tom, you’re a loose tasker! You’re too close to this task!”

“But he had some good points.” 😂

The 80s were wild. Tim Burton said to Warner Brothers, “Yeah, I want Dick Cavett in my semi-claymation movie! Fuck it, get me Robert Goulet, too!!”

He saw it on his phone and it triggered a Covenant Eyes alert.

I’m only thinking about this article in the content of SCOTUS rehearing the Voting Rights Act case. This is what Republicans say in private. Republicans who are elected. Republicans who serve within their party apparatus. Republicans who work for the Trump administration & work in state government.

Happy Anita Bryant Humiliation Day

But Jonah Goldberg says libs are the hitlers.

I seem to recall that it was the biggest 1st Amendment attack in American history when the Biden admin alerted social media companies to some content and said "hey does this violate your policies?" Will Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger and (lol) CBS News Editor in Chief Bari Weiss call this out?

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

Really enjoyed this episode. Great work @jacketdan.bsky.social and @hooverstreetrag.org

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

That 13-year-old boy we kidnapped as he was leaving his 8th grade class? He was actually MS-13. That 94-year-old grandmother we kidnapped from her nursing home? She was MS-13 too. That 4-day-old baby we kidnapped from the NICU? That's right, MS-13

Got farted on... 😆

Joker is a “My Name Is Joaquin (Not Leaf) Phoenix And I Am Acting Really Hard Please Say I Am Better Than Heath Ledger” movie.

Happy Metric Thanksgiving, to all who celebrate.

Does anyone want my tickets to John Mulaney at the Fox in Detroit Thursday? I have 4 I can’t use.

How W. E. B. Du Bois responded to government policing of "anti-American" sentiment during the 1910s:

"I took great satisfaction in being able to sit back in my chair and answer blandly, 'We are seeking to have the Constitution of the United States thoroughly and completely enforced.' ”
