Here’s the 5th Circuit’s opinion openly and directly defying an on-point Supreme Court precedent that prohibits the display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms.

Shameless defiance of SCOTUS, but we’ll see if the supermajority cares. txvalues.org/wp-content/u...

For me, it's mostly an expression of annoyance at both media and leadership (along with some social media discourse) that, consciously or not, seems to assign all agency to Democrats and/or liberals.

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

My One Big Idea for basketball is that setting the rim 10 feet off the ground makes the game way less fun than it ought to be. 6 feet for grade school, 8 feet for high school and parks, 10 feet for college and above.

Hungary Must Arrest Visiting Leaders Sought by ICC, Magyar Says Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he would halt the departure from the International Criminal Court that his predecessor Viktor Orban initiated, affirming that Hungary would respect ...

After Netanyahu's office claimed that Peter Magyar had invited him to visit Hungary, the PM-elected says that he will enforce all ICC arrest warrants once the country re-enters the Rome Statute.

[Hungary will] "have a legal obligation to enforce the ICC rulings and I'm sure [Netanyahu] knows this".

I genuinely didn't think it was possible, but the conniving to gift the WC to Saudi Arabia and the "peace prize" are just the absolutely definition of ignominy.

She once like a tweet of mine where I was explicitly making fun of her weird fangirl obsession with Coolidge. Perhaps not the sharpest of minds?

The reappearance of this take from this quarter is really interesting, actually; I think it’s evidence of an ambient worry that Rooseveltian politics and policies look suddenly possible

The end of kayfabe brought about a strange artistic flourishing—wrestling postmodernism. Josephine Riesman, the author of “Ringmaster,” a biography of Vince, has traced how acknowledging the pretense actually made it more difficult to distinguish truth from fiction. The filmmaker Werner Herzog stumbled upon the W.W.E. around the time of McMahon’s famous groin kick and became captivated. “I had the feeling there was a very raw form of drama emerging,” he told me. “The family saga became such a central part. I think of Vince McMahon showing up in the ring with three blondes with big breasts and taunting his wife, who is in a wheelchair, and apparently blind. And the son accusing his father not of mistreating the mother—but he wanted more money, something like this. It was phenomenal, phenomenal drama.” Artistically, Herzog compared it to early Greek tragedy. He always assumed that, as with theatre, the wife and son were “paid stooges, pretending to be the wife and son.” I told him that these were, in fact, Linda and Shane McMahon. “That makes it even more interesting!” he said. “The marketing of your family for public drama of that vulgarity, it carves into the very texture of family in a way that we have not seen before.”

Achievement unlocked: There's a paragraph in a print New Yorker article that juxtaposes my wrestling theories with those of Werner Herzog 👀

Palantir Posts Very Long X Post Denouncing ‘Vacant and Hollow Pluralism’ Best case scenario: maybe Palantir is super psyched about abundant and solid pluralism.

Palantir should not be allowed to have any government contracts at any level because it is fundamentally opposed to the basic concepts of liberal democracy.

What’s interesting here is they say “culture” when they mean “people” but they think that this maintains a veneer of deniability about what they’re really saying. In any case it’s true that the “culture” of the tech billionaires is morally and intellectually depraved rot bsky.app/profile/elio...

Every presidential administration gets accused of corruption—sometimes with good reason, sometimes not. But the corruption of the Trump administration is of a magnitude that is not only without precedent in American history but so large and brazen as to be difficult to wrap one's head around.
