This is how we protect the country.

When I am retired I want to be comfortable enough to just do a video recording with an unbuttoned shirt like this, as if I am walking out to the beach in Hawaii after it.

Oh how fun, as a lowly political blood sport, discovery would be!

Stupid AND off point. Defunding American education was not smart, huh?

We are heartbroken beyond words by the passing of our beloved daughter, Madison, 36, after a decades-long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues. She filled our lives with love and laughter, and her absence leaves an immeasurable void. We are grateful for the loving support of friends and family during this difficult time and ask for privacy as we navigate this profound loss.

@jackabbott.bsky.social Much cheaper than nuclear, distributed so harder to knock out, and yet you personally and Labour persist with pushing nuclear. The only reason to do so is to have material for bombs. Or possibly corruption.

Obama doesn’t need a house because he lives rent free in Trump’s head.

"Mar-a-Lago Mafia" is a very good line.

20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite's intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.

This bullet point from Alex Karp/Palantir’s latest diatribe strikes me as the best representation of the whole project.

“The elite’s intolerance of religious beliefs…”

Let me stop you right there, Alex. You just made that up. That isn’t a thing in 2026 America.

Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater.

Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving?

"U.S. and Iran are said to near a framework for future negotiations" New York Times headline April 17, 2026. Story by Michael Crowley and Farmaz Fassihi https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/us/strait-of-hormuz-open-iran-talks-negotiations.html

US and Iran are said (passive voice) to near (aren't at) a framework (not a deal) for future negotiations (to talk later)

In other words, they can't even agree on what to hold a meeting about.

Peace reigns! All rejoice!

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

It's gotten so weird and awful. Big Media is definitely not going to be the star of the story of how we stopped the authoritarian bid in the US.

As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail.
