If you think you may have stretched a leg muscle or torn some connective tissue playing a board game, is that the kind of thing you admit publicly, or even to a doctor, or is it something you take to the grave?

Frank Gehry is one of those people I would have assumed was already gone. He just loomed so large, how could he be among the living!?

He had salt and pepper hair. And oregano eyebrows. His lips were basil leaves. His entire head was a jar of Italian seasoning

It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

It’s darkly funny how willing Clinton is to appear with people who hate her so much they love to see her executed. She’s always screaming to get them to see that, ultimately, she really is on their side!

Newsom really seems like a worst of both worlds pick who reads like he's too liberal but actually is moderate in a lot of unpopular, pro-plutocrat ways.
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

So:
1) There was never a "fight" to begin with
2) There aren't any visible drugs (not that it would matter if there were)
3) They watched two clearly helpless people try not to drown in the ocean for 41 minutes, not "staying in the fight"
4) Then they killed them
This is straight up murder.

Hegseth's "fog of war" claim is nonsense, if this account of what video shows is correct: The two men obviously were visible.
Tom Cotton's claims also in doubt: Rep Smith says drugs not visible. The decision that the men were still in the fight looks very shaky:

The thing to understand about "age verification" laws is that they are not just for kids
The only way to "stop kids from doing xyz online" using age-gating is to demand a government ID (or invasive biometric face scan) from EVERYONE.
This means associating your gov ID with EVERYTHING YOU DO ONLINE

Prison rape is wrong.
Jokes about prison rape are wrong.
Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong.
If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity.
BUT
A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

What sticks out to me is how absolutely unafraid of prosecution this psychopath is. Part of it is narcissistic personality disorder, but it's mostly the perceived weakness of Democrats. Should they retake power, no one expects Democrats to hold anyone accountable.

I didn’t even realize that the man behind the inspired casting choice of David Lynch as John Ford in The Fabelmans was on Bluesky, but yay! Also, Paul Dano is a great actor.
So, my husband barely knows what Bluesky is, which is one reason I love him. And I can count the number of times he has asked me to post something on one hand with fingers to spare. That said, he asked me to share this...>

Cutting lines or even whole departments is the frontal assault on higher ed, but another low key war of attrition is the slow accumulation of grinding, meaningless additional tasks concerning syllabus templates, learning outcomes, institutional pablum, and ever more intricate evaluation hoops.

Musk looks very unsettling and misshapen, but more like a Bond villain’s henchman. Karp, on the other hand, actually looks like a Bond villain. I’m not sure if this has any import, but I don’t think it’s good.

People who try to corner you on the street for solicitations are a nuisance, even if it’s for a good cause. The same thing is true for political fundraising texts. We’ve got to stop this shit.
