Our tech wizards have cracked the code on how to make Mark Zuckerberg yet more off-putting and irrelevant to humanity. www.ft.com/content/0210...

Impressed that even after eviscerating its news operation, and unleashing a flood of AI slop and wire stories, the Washington Post still manages to hedge and normalize Trump's demented ravings.

It is a depressingly straight line from Colfax and the Supreme Court’s negation of the Reconstruction amendments to Shelby County and John Roberts’ evisceration of the Voting Rights Act.

The All Too Predictable Reason Trump Fired Pam Bondi The president has surrounded himself with cronies and sycophants. But even they keep failing to meet the level of servility he demands.

For the second time in less than a year, the U.S. military has attacked Iran—both times without President Trump seeking congressional approval. Read the argument @chrislehmann.bsky.social made for Trump’s impeachment after the 2025 strikes on nuclear facilities.
