Alex Jones will "eat your leftest ass" right after he takes off his cummerbund so that he can bend over.

The child labor campaign in 1911 had a great slogan:
"Children are worth more than any value that their puny arms can win."

Aha, your'e on bksy. Good to see you. I'm not here very much, but glad you are around.

Totally predictable, and yet still incomprehensible. I suppose Trump gets something out of whipping up his supporters and lying about what happens... but I really can't stress how absolutely bizarre it is to see a party jump at the chance to publicly blast the judge's clerk.

I go back to the BBS days, and I've never seen anything like Twitter in 2023. It's not even "awful comment section on local newspaper." Twitter's algorithm actively thwarts you from finding reliable information on the timeline, in replies, and when you search for keywords / accounts.

"In a ‘City Too Busy to Hate,’ New Attention to an Overlooked Race Massacre"...I'm sick of NYT's running stories on things that historians have focused on for the past 30 years and calling them overlooked. Not just insulting to historians, it's insulting to readers.

I have a feeling that we'll have a lot of company at Bluesky soon!

My first Buffett concert, a half century ago.

Trump's deranged followers think that he is the all powerful Wizard of Oz & nothing can stop him. But Fani Willis just threw a bucket of water on him. He cancelled his press conference.

Coming back from Ireland to the US next month, but we haven't told Loki that they don't allow dogs in pubs in the states.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump 37 m A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey. Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others - There will be a complete EXONERATION! They never went after those that Rigged the Election. They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!

He’s heaving, because he got midnight arraigned in Georgia.

Kenneth Chesebro advocated the false elector scheme, saying he based it on Larry Tribe's scholarship. Tribe devastates his argument here: www.justsecurity.org/87498/kenneth-chesebros-...

Rule @1: always apply. I'm someone from a state school in the South, who got her PhD at 42, and Yale actually hired me.

Climate change in Ireland is turning us into a rain forest. It was the hottest June ever recorded and the wettest July every recorded.

Would you have marched in the streets if Trump had blocked certification of Biden's win?

If so, Jeff Clark's plan was to have the US Army shoot you.

Because all those pesky forms and laws have derailed children from working in US mines and industry for far too long, Arkansas is now letting children work without permits! Sigh...Progressive Era 1916 Keating-Owen Act, then Congressional action in 1924, finally Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938...

Yep, the weather is miserable here too. We're on the Beara near Kenmare.

Why can't I have oysters in August in Ireland, like I usually do? Ocean water in Kerry is 4F higher than usual, because the Gulf Stream runs off the coast. Palm trees in the yard. But the heat is moving the Gulf Stream, & eventually it will get colder. Ireland could be Iceland. Climate connects us.

In my 20s, I stole Black lawn jockeys, broke them up on the street in front of peoples' houses, and ran. If they wouldn't break, took them home, and put them under my house. Never got caught.

Texas A&M suspended a professor after a student accused her of criticizing Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick during a lecture

Republicans are like “it’s called the Transatlantic Slave Trade” because of the important trades people learned, also, we don’t like the word Trans being in there

Conor knows exactly what he's doing. He hides behind free speech/libertarian ideology, but knows that race lives in every corner of American culture. He's fine with that. He interned with Andrew Sullivan, where he learned his tricks.

Friedersdorf knows that. Trained by the worst dissembler:
He was an intern for The Daily Dish blog, and in 2010 was hired as Senior Editor and "underblogger" to Andrew Sullivan
