Even in Brett Kavanaugh-adjusted terms, Brett Kavanaugh's opinion in the pro-racial profiling case is absolute dreck. The man is simply not very bright, and I continue to be astonished by how willing he apparently is to humiliate himself in public ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/kavan...
"His claims are difficult to check and don’t match the experiences of many city residents." If you can't call up the police department and ask if there was a rash of armed men invading restaurants over the past few years, you need to find a new fucking job.

Ezra Klein: "I’m not going to tell you I am absolutely sure Democrats should shut the government down. I’m not. At the same time, joining Republicans to fund this government is worse than failing at opposition. It’s complicity." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

Slap-on-the-wrist punishment for gross corporate malfeasance is exemplary of the white collar crime free for all of the last several decades. The criminal impunity of the wealthy elite is the story of our age, and it must end.

Fascism is everything all at once. The transformation of the present with brutality and violence paired with a darkening vision of the future and the constant cannibalization and reforming of the past. It's not just a political project, it is an existential battle and we must treat it as such.

My wife is not very online (doesn’t use TikTok, etc) but she didn’t believe me when I said Dem politicians post pictures of lengthy statements rather than short videos, which are *proven* to drive more engagement. “No one is gonna read a picture of a statement,” she said.

This new #JWST image is stunning. It's planetary nebula NGC 6072, a dying red giant that's expelling shells of dust and gas out into space. Those shells are really clear with this JWST MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) image. In about five billion years, our own Sun will look like this as it dies.

“You would be worried if your grandpa started acting like this,” Barack Obama warned voters last fall. “The point is we do not need to see what an older, loonier Donald Trump looks like with no guardrails.” This came to mind watching Trump’s latest cognitive missteps. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

House Republicans just voted to block the release of the Epstein files. They're not acting like the "preeminent" branch of the government seeking justice, but like a petite lapdog asking for treats at the White House.

In 2023, astronomers detected a cosmic blast so powerful it released more energy than ALL THE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE COMBINED. The cause: two black holes colliding and merging… which is a problem, because they were way bigger than we thought possible. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/the-bigges... 🧪🔭

We're in uncharted territory with this SCOTUS. They're making decisions--without regard to precedent, without regard to norms, without regard to justice, without regard to the impact on the rule of law in the U.S., without regard to consequences, and very often with a complete lack of transparency.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.
