With panic spreading about a potential second Trump term — not to mention his calls for military tribunals for Americans — we polled more than 2,000 Ukrainians to see whether they thought Trump or Biden would be better for their war effort.

Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. But is it time for people here to start panicking about the Trump-Biden matchup? The Counteroffensive conducted a poll to gauge Ukrainians' views on how the US presidential election could impact the war in Ukraine.

I am currently a lot more concerned about an uptick in non-organized to semi-organized hit and run terror from small numbers of MAGA freaks in blue cities, than I am about some form of highly organized MAGA freak suppression in blue cities.
I know which houses in our suburban neighborhood the MAGA faithful live in. One is simply obnoxious. One is low-key. One has 40 year old sons living at home. That one is armed. That's one house in 20. I'm more concerned about the random hit and runs from the angry 25 yo guys in lifted pickups

i think we should see the Trump v. United States ruling as a group of Republican apparatchiks taking their opportunity to vindicate Nixon and write the unitary executive into the Constitution. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/02/o...

Morbid curiosity got the best of me, and I read this. The argument is literally that Dolly Parton is a fake, destructive Christian because despite a lifetime of kindness, decency, philanthropy, and spreading joy around the world, she won’t explicitly condemn gay people for their wickedness.

For those who lost track, Missouri's Republican governor Mike Parson pardoned the McCloskeys in August 2021 after they had pleaded guilty to misdemeanors carrying total fines of $2,750. The state had already confiscated their guns.

My conspiracy theory about Section 230 critics is that getting rid of it is the only surefire method they’ve come up with to get rid of the controversy sections of their Wikipedia profiles
As usual, @mmasnick.bsky.social is spot on about why the recent bill to "sunset" Section 230 is one of the most harebrained things to come out of Congress recently. Clip: www.mollywhite.net/micro/entry/...

Michigan reports another #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy cow herd, its 25th. It has reported the most cases. It is doing the most work to find and report, which is to its credit. The cumulative national total now stands at 87 herds in 11 states.

The Bluesky accounts have parallel accounts on X/Twitter, along with four additional similar-looking accounts with no Bluesky equivalent. Each Bluesky and X account has a link in their profile to a corresponding Patreon page offering paid access to AI-generated NSFW images.

In an interesting and decidedly unnecessary twist on the whole "MY NUDES IN BIO" spam phenomenon, here's a network of six oddly similar BlueSky accounts selling AI-generated NSFW images via Patreon links in their profiles. #MidjourneyInBio
