I would say that it is a turnkey autocracy. Trump has given himself the ability to flip the switch to autocracy as he wills it, and that is meaningful. No need to flip it now, while he’s already fully in power.

Brown belt in BJJ. Exact same experience. There’s often like one cop who actually trains but it should be way way more.
BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
I have had so many arguments with people where it's clear that's how they view it. That unsafe means "feels unsafe" on a subjective level.
“I’m doing fine. Really”
Are you and Peter fighting
People make fun of Caligula for ordering the army to fight the ocean and appointing his horse to Senate, but we're really not that far off.
I used to go to the pizza shop down the street to buy their dough and would just make pizzas with that. It was probably more expensive than making my own dough but by like a dollar.
Where’s that Twitter joke? “which political beliefs? Taxation rates?” “no, you know the ones.”
I asked a woman on the street for directions. She was very helpful but as I walked away I realized it was Liv Tyler.
what's up cat?
I understand that the couple has prepared their own prompts that resulted in vows?

Wood is fine for those
Maybe we humans evolved in a world where birds exist, and that’s why their songs are so pleasing to us
Maybe he doesn’t enjoy people calling him a coward in his replies
Bring colored markers with you so whenever you see a thin blue line flag you can help them fill in the rest of the colors.
If I’m walking with a friend, and I say something, he says, “What?” So I say it again, and he says, “What?” Really, it’s just some insignificant stuff I’m saying, but now I’m yelling, “That tree is far away!”
Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

I do this every time I have leftover indian food with leftover rice. Dried-out refrigerated rice should only ever be fried anyways.
Political commentators should not be visible. Text or voice or at best a poorly staged author photo. I don’t want the forces that require all musicians to be 10/10s to apply to public intellectuals too.
Did the AI not consider Moby Dip?
This house has one bathroom and like 6 bedrooms, a sauna, and an eighth grade classroom you have to walk through to get there. I’m not sure I want to inherit this place.
I can’t imagine how annoying those Billiard puzzles get by then.
He’s got the most dad-coded podcast in history
The athletes, for one
How in the fuck are we supposed to host a World Cup and an Olympics in the next theee years?

Because that requires finding “good bread” in America
He’s also at a Honey Dijon show, and posing with her. She’s a famous trans DJ
I think they just have extremist libertarian views about the free market and anything that veers from that is suspect
All the science was accurate except their purple 600nm laser
Real Genius was a formative movie for me. The best movie about physics and physicists is a raunchy 80’s comedy. RIP Val
As long as no one brought their kid along this time
One of those "I bought this before Elon went crazy" stickers but for your Columbia diploma
I think punditry would be a lot healthier if people made the case for their policies and position on the merits first rather than framing everything they advocate for as a good electoral strategy. 90% of the time, it's what they support on the merits, so just make that case.
We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now
This is very good. www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...
Digital brownshirts
That could mix into a pretty good film
I’d like to see you eat a musical arrangement
Civil rights only work if they’re universal. If there is any group of people that doesn’t have basic civil protections, then none of us have them.
Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Is there a Misses Swell?
In Zanzibar I saw a woman wearing a full everything-but-the-eyes burqa. She was also wearing a hardhat and a reflective vest and working at a construction site.
I hope they accidentally sell off all the black sites
This is where the fish lives
Sort of funny that an administration obsessed with cost-cuts wants to expand Guantanamo. It’s by far the most expensive prison in the world, costing *13 million* per detainee *per year*.
Their Womyn Playing Poker sketch is feminist as hell and incredibly funny
Ken Burns’ The Dust Bowl
Congress writes the laws and controls the purse. If executive orders are law and DOGE controls the purse, then congress is just an advisory body.

I don’t get it. Don’t racist trolls on the internet threaten kids all the time? Pushing genocide is of course a death threat to children
@michaelhobbes.bsky.social ah shit. I’m the guy who reinstated your Wikipedia entry after it was deleted for not being notable enough. Sorry!
"This wouldn't have happened if it had been a White Hawk helicopter"
“Hey, it’s better than half a worm”
It doesn’t make sense for the tech market to fall because of a Chinese AI competitor. What makes more sense is that some people learned about the upcoming tariffs to Taiwan a day early.
The ol’ “what should have happened to John Yoo”
Last night I had a dream that involved the existence of “The Thin Green Line,” which was somehow like Terrence Malick’s take on The Grinch.
Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.
