They think you're stupid.

Listen, they are building concentration camps and threatening genocide against a country of 90 million people. There is not a single remotely legal tactic that is impermissible when it comes to stopping them.

it is very funny how these people are so accustomed to essentially bullying democratic politicians that they meltdown when met with appropriate pushback.

in any case, the process to amend the virginia constitution has multiple stages where, at any point, an amendment can be defeated.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

And oh my god, every time that brand is in the news I am so angry on Ebert's behalf, and so angry at Steak n' Shake that they received that magnificent gift of being so seen and so loved, by one of the best writers to ever do it, only to piss all over it for the sake of idiot-pandering pseudoscience

In 2012, not long before the great Roger Ebert died, he published one of the finest, tightest essays ever composed about the ineffable nostalgic perfections of chain restaurants, a celebration of his beloved Steak ‘n Shake and its unchanging, ever-delicious burgers and fries. (Link at end of 🧵)

If someone asked you to draw up what the Platonic ideal of this Knicks offense is supposed to look like, you could do a lot worse than this ... yhoo.it/4vHCgnc

NBA playoffs 2026: Can the Knicks rely on Jalen Brunson/Karl-Anthony Towns two-man attack in Game 2? The Hawks had their fair share of problems with it in New York's Game 1 win, but NBA playoff series are marked by adjustments and counters. What can the Hawks do to stem the tide?

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

Kagan screamed so loudly at liberal ally after Dobbs leak the ‘wall was shaking,' book claims Justice Kagan allegedly yelled at Justice Breyer so loudly the "wall was shaking" during the 2022 Dobbs leak crisis, a new book by Hemingway says.

Forget about the substance, the reveal that “most of” the justices talked to Mollie Hemingway for her book is bananas. Hemingway is a right-wing freak who runs a conspiracy theory blog. If literally any of the justices are taking this person seriously, the Supreme Court is GONE gone.

Absolutely incredible.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
