I went to a farming school and a teaching school, but ended up a lawyer.

Kind of darkly funny that the government's defense of the well thought out plan for Trump's bigly beautiful ballroom looks like this

Being a southerner living outside of the south is a constant war against people deploying the laziest stereotypes imaginable without ever living in the south while also realizing you used to know a guy who used a homemade spear to kill wild boar that came in his front yard.

Here's a Rob Reiner project you might not remember, but those who do, they tend to love it. This is from my Random Roles with Kevin Pollak, and at the time it ran, the episodes were in chunks. Now they're up in their entirety, thankfully. #MortonAndHayes #RIPRobReiner

What a friendly thing to say. Very generous to of you to think of us during our most recent mass shooting and share news of your better one. Thanks for this friendly message, friend. I don’t think any of us were aware there could be such laws or indeed a better way of living. Good lookin’ out
Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

in conservatism, an ideology built around personal responsibility, it's always someone else's fault. bsky.app/profile/donm...
One more example of "the Woke Right" narrative, where the right tries to frame members who have gone too far as actually sort of leftist. In Fuentes case, it is the overt nature of the anti-semitism. Dreher has no problem working for a govt whose leader (Orban) engages in dog-whistle anti-semitism.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.
