Man i have been saying for a minute that voters everywhere are rejecting fascist shit and it’s only the media that makes us think otherwise, but it’s nice to see that in play right now

Since 2019 I've liked to remind you that we should work to break up not just ICE, but abolish the entire DHS. It's a post-9/11 reactionary agency that needs to be destroyed. www.cnn.com/2019/07/04/o...

inconsistent UI behavior across streaming apps is shitty in general but D+ gets special mention for being *notably* jank in a crowded field of jankness

Kudos to Disney+ making a system that randomly turns the subtitles on and off during a mixed language program. Full marks. Useless.

Ah yes, violating the First Amendment and broadly calling stuff terrorism never, ever is misused.

It is also a reason for President Biden to test the limits of Presidential immunity by treating this as a direct, public threat of violent insurrection against our government/coup planning and arresting this domestic terrorist. It is time for the Federalist Society to reap what they have sown

"This is important: the nature of the First Amendment is that sometimes it protects the speech of people you dislike or distrust. Because if you don’t protect them, then those same authorities will suppress, stifle, and silence the speech of people you do support and do agree with."

Had some thoughts on Tim Wu's attack on the First Amendment. www.techdirt.com/2024/07/03/t...

Tim Wu Is Out Of Controlwww.techdirt.com I guess I should start this out by noting that I like Tim Wu quite a bit, and always felt like I learned something in the past when I spoke with him. He was even one of the people who reviewed and …

"The Bernie Bros and K-Hive appear to be forming an alliance," I say at the 4th of July cookout. An anvil falls out of the sky directly onto my person, killing me instantly. God appears through the clouds. "I did that," he says. Family and friends applaud politely.

We've now reached 200 death row exonerations. Meanwhile, the state with the most (Florida) is pushing to limit appeals, carry out executions more quickly, allow death sentences from non-unanimous juries, and impose the death penalty for crimes other than homicide.

New piece! I struggled with this one a lot back when I started it a year or two ago, but it finally came together nice and easy when I went back and took a second look at it. 😊

Apparently the government of the Yucatán recently erected a Poseidon statue on one of their major beaches. It’s a very heavily Mayan area, where people still pray to Chaac, the god of rainfall. They’re now being slammed with 3 hurricanes and significant flooding, leading to memes like this

I can’t find the original story but one time there was a cop that shot his wife and then himself and the news described it as “police officer slain in murder suicide”.

a cop shot himself and this is the headline they went with

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

Y'know, I'm tired. I'm cranky. And at this point I think I might actually be more tired and angry with the defeatist shits yammering about how nothing works and nothing will work and doom doom doom than I am with the ones who have been actively breaking the system.

Weird to see all the people excited to watch LOST for the first time on streaming, which is nowhere close to the best way to experience the show: stealing the DVD of the first half of season one from the supermarket where you work, binging it, never finishing the series.

This is what I'm talking about. When the press were sending stalkers to my front door, publishing that I (specifically me) "should be dead in a ditch", and applauding my rapist ex, people like this were nowhere I moved to stay alive But you're here now clutching your pearls that I'd defend myself

Once again I will point out that no one has ever shown me a textual basis for “lifetime appointments” to the Supreme Court. It’s just a social norm. The constitution says “during good behaviour”. Appoint replacements, let the Senate determine whether current justices are displaying Good Behaviour.

straight up lie. Hur said that as part of describing a possible Biden defense tactic (that he'd try to slide by adducing old age/bad memory), not as an actual description. but the media keeps running with this trivially verifiable falsehood.

Hur declined to charge Biden, claiming any jury would view him as an “elderly man with a poor memory,” a characterization Republicans have been trying to exploit.

It’s also really important to pay attention to the difference between what your enemies want to do and what they’re actually *capable* of doing

do not underestimate your enemies, but do not assume godlike and infallible powers from your enemies either
