It’s not slut shaming a journalist to say You Should Not Have Sex With The Subject Of Your Story

I know people are eager to claim they were born perfect and never had to learn and change, unlike losers like me.

So congrats! You were born knowing conservatives are inherently racist. Eat your cookie rewards.

But remember: Telling people they aren't allowed to grow and change hurts us.

“Submit to authoritarianism or be impoverished” is quite the message.

They don’t have the stomach for it. They’ve been “moving on” since 2009.

What’s actually to be gained, other than voicing their displeasure?

So you’re confident that if the Democrats held an impeachment vote (which they can’t because they’re the minority) they would get at least four Republican defections? Who would all know that Trump would not actually be removed by the senate?

How can they impeach him without a house majority

Wait do you think Democrats could do impeachment but they just don’t want to?

Extremely normal and not at all weird

People ask me all the time what they can do and broadly:

1) Organize and join protests
2) Support media that isn't backing down
3) Give to ACLU and others taking on the illegal actions in court
4) Give to food banks :(

It is simply accurate to call this regime segregationist.

Demi Adejuyigbe is not wholesome

Glad Morris is on this issue. Obviously political violence in our society and the openness to it is a big issue. BUT I do think a lot of these polls, intentionally or not, have a way of amplifying very hypothetical questions. Or from a different perspective ... www.gelliottmorris.com/p/most-polls...

Cities with a higher violent crime rate than Chicago:

Houston
Dallas
Lubbock
Amarillo
San Antonio
Corpus Christi

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

The US military dropped more tonnage of explosives on Vietnam than were dropped in all theaters of WWII combined.

wizard frog is insane

Unless/until there’s an explicit plan to hold them accountable, assume ICE, Stephen Miller, Russ Vought, etc etc will never be held accountable. Until they’re on notice, “I can’t wait until these fascists are prosecuted” is pure, uncut copium

Part of same thing "it seems like in humans consciousness just appeared when sufficiently complex systems. So you can't rule it out for LLMs"

Yes we can. The way it makes mistakes is exactly indicative of nonconciousness.
Of a lack of any sense of comprehension of its inputs.
And of self awareness.

"Headlines Matter" part six million

-Every part of this very good story is about MAGA/Doge/Vought *imposing* politics on civil servants

-Not what headline implies www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/u...

-What could it have said?
Same line length:
In Shutdown
Civil Service Is
Turned Political

I’d like one newspaper to try out the headline “Republicans fail to attract Democratic votes they need to end shutdown” as a little treat.

Something our glorious Secretary of War does not seem to have considered is that the reason military PT and grooming standards, plus policies for EEO and abuse reporting, are the way they are is because they're necessary for recruitment and retention

this is why I'm trying to tell y'all that we have to specifically draft out and talk about *specific amendment text*. not just what problems to solve constitutionally, but actual textual drafts. Because in the end , the least violent option is simply a mass adoption of new constitutional text
