The head of the FBI isn't supposed to be getting blackout drunk. He's supposed to be cross-dressing
The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. Someone should tell Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, so they can write a book on it.
One of my favorite end-of-semester traditions is that I shake every students’s hand after the last class to thank them for an enriching semester. One of my law profs did it; I always remembered it l.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS?

Lmao: “We choose to go to the Moon because it is so easy now. They wanted me to go with them. I would have been a great astronaut, maybe the best ever. I wanted to go but they begged me, ‘Mr President, we need you here to open up the Fuckin’ Strait.’” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Covid will miraculously go away
There has been a lot of criticisms of that this piece had AI-hallucinated citations already. Prashad has apologized--and yet it's very telling that he feels more accountable to academic integrity than the 12 million lives whose erasure he and Chak contribute to the erasure of

It just occurred to me that I haven't heard anything about NFTs for ages. Dare I hope that it's because it's a fad that fizzled out? How much were those stupid bored ape NFTs selling for (I won't say "worth") at their peak, and how much are they selling for now?
Is it an FCC violation to quote the president verbatim? Asking for a friend
My fears of an invasion of Taiwan in the next couple years are going up.
I have never seen DOJ lawyers write like this before.
Trump has ruined the greatest legal team in the country.
Actions, meet consequences.
