The great French actress Nathalie Baye, who died yesterday. If you haven’t seen It’s Only the End of the World, with her as the mother, you should. She’s outstanding.
Thank you, Nathalie Baye, for showing us a way.
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

Doing my best with aidirtylist.info! Feel free to send tips
If we hit a point where the need is such that we need to do this again, we will definitely ask for help.
Thank you for all the help you've given us. We've been able to help almost 200 3D printers send nearly 1.5 million whistles to every state in the US.
Read an article this morning about how Allbirds is pivoting to become an AI company and goddamn if a company turning from eco-friendly shoes to water- and power-guzzling AI doesn't feel like a metaphor for this entire era
July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.
put this in ads against every R senator who's running this year and voted for this monster
If y'all are wondering why I'm relentlessly posting about my book, it's because I have no publicist and my press didn't have it displayed at a major history conference. .🫠 Having sold 850 hardback/paperbacks combined by the day of publication, it would have been nice to see it there...

Here's a fun thread
A Common Raven perched on a rock, displaying its glossy black plumage with iridescent sheen, thick curved beak, shaggy throat feathers, and large dark claws against a soft blurred brown and pink background.
Crows remember human faces. For years. If you wrong one, it will tell other crows about you — and they'll harass you too. Even crows that never met you!
This is not just a bird. This is one of the most intelligent animals on the planet.

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.
DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.
My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.
DOJ is now 0-5.
My firm is 5-0.

Very pleased and sort of stunned to be part of the new class of Guggenheim fellows.
screencap of a tweet with a photo at the bottom of JD Vance giving a talk, gesturing smugly with his hands Eric Daugherty • @EricLDaugh • 1h • JD VANCE RESPONDS TO POPE LEO: "When the Pope says that God is never on the side of those who wield the sword - there is more than a THOUSAND year tradition of Just war Theory." "In the same way that it's important for the vice president of the United States to be careful when I talk about matters of public policy, I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology." "And I think that one of these issues here is that there has been - if you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to make sure it's anchored in the truth, and that's one of the things that I try to do, and it's certainly something I would expect from the clergy, whether they're Catholic or Protestant."
I’ve given this a great deal of thought, trying to come up with the perfect joke for this moment, and this is what I have so far -
POPE LEO: our religion teaches that this war is bad
VANCE: wow, who died and made YOU head of the Catholic Church??
POPE LEO: well, you should know, you were there
it is a little odd how conservatives are just casually discussing if the president of the united states is the antichrist
In the history of American politics, no one has ever suspended their campaign over false allegations.

This chart is stunning.
Was not expecting this. Gonzales will also resign from Congress.
Pope Leo is no angel.
I don't think my day can recover from "I thought it was me as a doctor." Let's call it a wrap.

We didn't clear house following Reconstruction or following the Civil Rights Movement and we absolutely have to do it next time.
I don’t really pray, but if someone up there is listening, then please send JD Vance to every single toss up congressional race to spread the word that the pope is soft on crime
Amia Srinivasan’s “Sex as Pedagogical Failure” should be required reading.
Whenever a man in position of authority pursues a subordinate woman, he is changing her trajectory in that space forever. The research on how much even “consensual” affairs hurt the women involved is jaw dropping.
