“Anti-war Spanish Tom Brady isn’t real”
Anti-war Spanish Tom Brady:

i think most rational, well-informed people of any current or former gender can agree saving young men from their stupidest and most harmful young male impulses is the oldest and most important reason for society to exist at all

eggs benedict without runny yolks, decaf red eye, chicken saltimbocca but not too salty. people don’t know what they want

This is easier to understand when you’ve worked in food service. Like I’m sure the guy who once asked me for a tuna melt with the cheese on the side has consistent and coherent views on immigration

Many Americans hold contradictory opinions on the same policies Our new poll finds question wording can swing opinion by 20+ points on immigration, the budget, and transgender rights. That's a problem for people who use polls to tell politicians what voters want.

New post!
Many Americans hold contradictory opinions on the same policies. Question wording effects can swing opinions by 20+ points on immigration, the budget, and transgender rights.
That's a problem for people who interpret polls for a living.

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

Iran conflict: Rubio says US launched war on Iran after learning Israel planned to attack Secretary of state says US had to move ‘preemptively’ to stop Iranian retaliation against American forces

so let me get this straight. attacking iran is justified because iran was going to attack US bases, only after israel attacked iran first. so instead of stopping israel from carrying out the attack, the US just had to bomb iran too.

Love this thing pundits do where they pretend not to understand why students might protest Israel (a country that their school may actively be funding and therefore the protests are about trying to get their school to take action) and not Iran (a country that their school has nothing to do with).

I, for one, will be spending my weekend posting about politics on the internet. It’s just the right thing to do

I like to distract myself from the terrifying political news by reading the ridiculous political news.

Never considered fireworks “therapeutic” but here we are

Toronto shopping street

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car.

In fact, it was 4%.

And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%.

Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

this kind of ruined the phrase for me in the way a bad film adaptation does with a good book

my entire Life Plan is to bank on this happening in hopes of getting dual citizenship more easily

Naming the policeman Officer X, Welles addressed him directly. "Wash your hands, Officer X. Wash them well. Scrub and scour, you won't blot out the blood of a blinded war veteran," Welles said. "Go on, suckle your anonymous moment while it lasts. You're going to be uncovered. We will blast out your name! We'll give the world your given name, Officer X. Yes, and your so-called Christian name. It's going to rise out of the filthy deep like the dead thing it is."

When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.

he looks just like his dad ❤️

Happy 15th anniversary to this tweet:

Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

"In fact, Massachusetts is the only state that voted against Donald Trump in 2024 where a state agency is contracting with the 287(g) program."

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.
