Guys, China’s risk calculus on Taiwan is not determined by some global scale of the acceptability of aggression
The level of orchestrated concern trolling on behalf of Jasmine Crockett would make the JournoList principals blush at how blatant it is.
Athletes' willingness to do insane stuff to their bodies for any minor advantage remains singularly impressive.
🚨New WP "@Grok is this true?"
We analyze 1.6M factcheck requests on X (grok & Perplexity)
📌Usage is polarized, Grok users more likely to be Reps
📌BUT Rep posts rated as false more often—even by Grok
📌Bot agreement with factchecks is OK but not great; APIs match fact-checkers

Fallout season 2 stuck the landing. So much fan service but still pushing its own story forward. I guess we'll see in season 3 if Caesar will get to build his palace in Vegas (and I legit LOLed at the line), but something tells me never to bet against House.
I'm defending his right to speak on a college campus where he was invited to speak.
"People I don't like should not be heard" is probably not a principle you should be defending, ever, but especially not these days.
I don't think I'm ever going to top this student evaluation comment: "BRO SUCKED GIGA BALLS AT HIS JOB BRUH"
So is it the "Donroe Doctrine" or "Donroe Document"? I need to update my foreign policy notes.
Shockingly, the people who get interviewed most frequently by the national media appear to be the most butthurt by the CBS News video.
80% of complaints about the media, in one meme.
"Party leaders in the Senate are more like administrators than bosses." Direct quote from the American government slides I've been using the past decade-plus. Caro's hagiography of LBJ aside (in which case, why did LBJ volunteer for a much weaker job in 1960?), it's been true much longer.
Probably easier to argue that the Democrats shouldn't have caved if you weren't about to have your SNAP benefits cut off or you've gotten a paycheck in the past month.
A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...
I'm a "Democrats probably need to broaden the tent to recapture the median voter" guy but nominating a candidate who was using anti-gay slurs on Reddit in 2014 and has a Totenkopf tattoo he just covered up is not essential to successfully winning statewide in Maine.
Republicans remain so dedicated to ensuring there is evidence of election fraud that they keep going out to allegedly commit it themselves. slate.com/news-and-pol...
As I've said before, the man is perpetually 80s-brained to the point he thinks the Mariel Boatlift is still happening.
At this rate, by 2031, every bill passed by the House will rename Fort Moore as Fort Benning or vice versa. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
I support un-banning TikTok if this deal comes to pass and all users are required to use PeopleSoft forms to access and post to the platform. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...
News from bluesky's favorite absent political scientist, Paul Musgrave: He's on a team that's updating the Garand and Giles journal ranking survey. Information below.

Why do they make the "solve the NFL kickoff" problem so complicated? Just make it equivalent to 4th and 10 on the 35 and let the kicking team decide if they want to send out the special teams to punt (or fake) or go for it with the offense.
Hiring departments/schools can pay to host their searches on Interfolio (and candidates get free access to apply for those jobs) but that's pretty rare in my experience.
We don't bother at all and just call references for people we plan to give full interviews. Model the change you want to see in the discipline/academy and all that jazz.
Back in the day it cost me a lot of money due to paper applications; it might be more affordable for candidates now since it mostly just hosts recs.
That said I'm long past being convinced departments shouldn't request recs until after at least first round screening.
ProTip to the chronically online: someone isn't considered a "public figure" for the purposes of libel law just because their first and last name is shared with that of a person suspected of committing a crime.
This concludes today's First Amendment caselaw lesson.
