there is such a magic to sitting on a tiny island in the boundary waters, seeing more stars than you could have imagined were up there, hearing the loons

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent.
To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.
Good morning Mom and Dad, remember when you said I was "throwing my life away" when I got my PhD in theoretical particle physics with a concentration in affordable breakfast chains? Well maybe you'd like to take a quick look at today's newspaper
People don’t wanna put two and two together with what he did to usaid and him putting up those maps of global birthrates and saying white people are being replaced
If you want revenge, then dig two graves. the first one is a practice grave to get a feel for it and the second is your main or "show grave"

adam says it much more succintly. the american right will happily impoverish the united states and make it an oversized backwater if it means they can dominate women and minorities and play act as a master class
CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao
The marches had no shortage of skeptics. In Oxford, Miss,, Cass Rutledge, a first-year law student at the University of Mississippi, walked through the No Kings protest and around the town square on Saturday and questioned why people thought Mr. Trump was acting like a king. "He is, you know, a duly elected president who won the popular vote and the electoral college in a landslide," Mr. Rutledge said. "And so I'm a little bit confused on how he's acting differently than any other president." He pointed to the stalemate in Congress over the SAVE America Act, the Republican-driven bill to tighten voter identification and registration rules, which Democrats have called an attempt to suppress turnout based on false claims of voting fraud. Mr. Rutledge said that Mr. Trump was "going through the process" to try to get the legislation passed.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.)
But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.
These rallies are full of people who are going to bake a plate of cookies and donate to a shelter while getting shitfaced when Trump dies

The difference between these two is racism
57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals.
And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked.
And then the DEI office was killed.
And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.
what happened to if you have time to lean you have time to clean. or does that only apply to me making $7.25/hr to sell shitty frozen yogurt and not the highly paid murder squad
Stunned by all the “ICE isn’t gonna do anything more than what TSA already does” rhetoric.
Untrained white supremacists who’ve been told by bosses they’re not subject to laws will have POC and women lined up in front of them to grope and abuse and they don’t even have to chase them.
ooooh temu figured out it's now shorthand for "cheap off-brand garbage" and is not happy about it
'those movies where people watch a video because it's supposed to make you die in a week are unrealistic' I say as I watch another person take a Chotiner phone call

I wonder how many of the wealthy westerners fleeing the gulf are leaving migrant worker maids, nannies, drivers and other staff behind.
No notes.
This man was murdered by the federal immigration authorities as surely as Renee Good and Alex Pretti were
Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.
