Fail to believe this at your own peril.
I tell my students the easiest way to catch mistakes is for them to read their papers out loud, and they always look at me like I'm insane.
But look, that's what we do with our own books! Because it works!

Lunch break at 2pm after completing day 6 of 8 of reading aloud the page proofs of my book with a friend. My brain has liquified. Typical typos caught today: Untied States, statue instead of statute.

How do you not run on #SupremeCourtReform in 2028?
What's changed is that the Court has become more transparent in its corruption. There's not even an argument here beyond the implicit one which is: how do you expect us to hold the House without those seats?

Remember this moment — when most of the Republican Senate just watched as their party leader went on a disgusting racist rant.

Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."
He goes on to say "we aren’t going to pretend here that all cultures are of equal value or the same."

It’s gotten difficult to link to sources in 2025 because so many of them are paywalled - and still failing because normies can’t afford subs to every news site.
The free sites are overwhelmingly right wing propaganda sites, funded by billionaires with very deep pockets. Seems like a problem.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Honestly, though. Dismissing human beings as 'garbage'. Not their ideas or beliefs but their existence. Saying an entire country 'stinks'. It's a boiling frog moment. Forget he's President, or a game show host or a social media name - if the person sat next to you on the bus said this, you'd recoil.

Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her.

I’ll buy this theory.
i think the honest answer to this is that they don’t care. not in a doomer “we’re never having elections again” way, but they know they’re not getting reputable employment again after this, right wing griftosphere is the best they can expect, they need to keep up their giant piece of shit cred.
Does the White House think this is going to win them support with Gen Z?

The Trumpies think people outside their base are as fervent/feral as they are; they don’t realize Carpenter fans are just normal people who see are simply disturbed by the attack.
this may be true but i dont think the strong response from people like carpenter helps them. because most of her fans are not in the political trenches and her calling them out exposes more people to what sick pieces of shit they are, meanwhile their base is already at peak anger all the time

Here are just two of the victim impact statements in the David Gentile sentencing memo.

Siri, show me why legacy media journalists are not cut out to report on the current environment.
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”
