- As I said on MSNBC, in 1960 white evangelical christians accused JFK that he would put the Pope over our Constitution. Today we have a new Pope who supports our Constitution more than our current President. And the white christians support this anti-constitutional President and attack the Pope.
- WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.
- the thing is, people really do believe that trump can’t be corrupt because he’s rich, and it is hard to persuade people that trump has a different relationship to money than the rest of us (it is a literal fetish object for him)
- everything about andor was amazing and i can’t believe we’ll never get it again

View full threadThe whole stretch, really. And yeah, that ending.
- Then again, I’m that softie who cries ~every time~ I watch e12 of s1.
- Can Star Wars make you bawl? I dunno, have you seen Episode 10 of Andor?
- Have you seen Episode 12?
- Wow. What a last line. "I'm Andor. Andor Skywalker." In many ways the whole show was just building up to that moment.
- There was a huge X-class solar flare yesterday on the Sun! You can see it on the right-hand limb in these SDO images. I find it so neat that we live next to, and can study, a star. We take it for granted that it's "the Sun" and it's always in the sky, but there is a star and it is RIGHT THERE. 🔭

- In the same way that firefighters want to fight the locked front door that’s keeping them from fighting the fire more than they want to fight the fire.
- so you think replacing the losing losers and their losing strategy can make things better, while I (an intellectual) thinks nothing needs to change and its just that the rest of the country is too stupid to recognize the genius of the consultant class
- Andor was incredible, man. One of the best things Star Wars could’ve done to their world
- For some reason recently I’ve seen a lot of “actually decimate doesn’t mean to destroy something, only to reduce it by one tenth🤓” and I would counter by saying that actually a word means what it’s commonly understood to mean
- A word’s etymology is not its definition, and no non-pedant has used ‘decimate’ in that context in probably a century or more
- A swing voter is not a centrist. It's like, a guy who loves guns but has a gay sister, loves weed but hates food stamps because his cousin who owes him 50 bucks gets them. (Also, Osama was Iraqi.) You don't win that guy with a carefully crafted platform, you do it by not seeming fucking lame
- Carl Sagan cosmos but with 40k lore
- anyone reading this social post would erroneously conclude that she had said something anti-semitic, when she hasn't. Don't print lies in the newspaper.

- charts like these are so funny because they never reckon with the politics of major non-EU democracies like India, Japan, or Brazil

- also, right now, this is basically what me and anyone else trying to seriously analyze the impacts of any of these policies ends up doing (at least to some degree) there's just so many longstanding assumptions about how things work being violated at this point that we're doing a lot of best guess.

- If I personally authored the Supreme Court decision stating that the President is immune from all crimes, you would never, ever, ever, EVER catch me moaning about how the rule of law is endangered
- What does "rule of law" mean if you explicitly state that nothing the chief executive does in office can legally implicate him www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

- Fundamentally, they want to undo the 18th Century, too. No more Reason, Liberty, or Rights of Man--they get in the way of throwing random ppl into rent-a-gulags and accepting $400M bribes from foreign powers.
- I, personally, am very tired of being stuck in a cycle of "GOP creates a crisis, voters bring in Dems to fix it, Dems fix it, voters throw them out and bring back in GOP, GOP creates even worse crisis than the last one" for the past 25ish years and counting in this country.
