The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.

The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

A recap of tonight's special election in TN-07 (plus a WAY-TOO-EARLY model of the 2026 midterms).

A swing of 13 points would put Dems over 250 seats in the U.S. House. A more reasonable scenario—say, D+6—still gives them the House, and maybe the Senate.

What the special election in Tennessee's Seventh District means for the 2026 midterms
Republicans held a Trump +22 seat — but by only 9 points. A swing half as large would give Democrats the U.S. House in 2026, and put the Senate clearly in play

Ds don't seem to be getting what they need out of Nashville. But if the margin lands at R+3, that's a D+19 shift from 2024 -- we're not talking a wave, we're talking tsunami
again @gelliottmorris.com says behn still has a chance but damn 3 points in this district is 🦇💩

Ask yourself this: if the roles were reversed and it was a solid blue seat that went from D +22 to D +6, would you be saying "eh, who cares" or would you need cardiac intervention?

If it's the latter, stop dooming.
longing once again for a world where more people are capable of grasping complex and inscrutable concepts like “it’s still really really good for Democrats if they *lose* by a much smaller margin than expected in Tennessee”

Yeah, it’s explicitly Regency era Great Britain, so if you set the end of the French Revolution as Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, then it at least overlaps in time.
And Pride and Prejudice takes places in 1811 or so so you could make an argument for it being in the French Revolutionary Period depending on your view of Napoleon’s politics.

Thucydides: General Da Baby Stabber is bad! My beloved Athens is supposed to be better than this!

--- Every political theorist for the next 3000 years: Thucydides wants us to kill them all because he's a hardo like me and I'm gonna tell all my students that they gotta be hardos like Thucydides
Melians: please do not do a Peloponnesian War to us!

Athenian general implausibly named "Da Baby Stabber": imma do it tho

this is just rank cowardice, the student very obviously disregarded the instructions and the assignment to antagonize her peers and instructors and provoke this exact reaction, society simply can’t function when the people in charge scurry like kicked dogs every time some troll bully says boo

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

One of the biggest barriers to implementing pro-housing policy is the folk wisdom that building new market rate/mixed-income housing increases rents even though study after study shows that the opposite is the case:

building more housing lowers rents
Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.

Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.
