Perfect encapsulation of the Trump administration: The guy suing Harvard for alleged antisemitism is a straight-up Hitler-admiring Nazi. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
New story w/ @hilaryburns.bsky.social: A DOJ lawyer accused Harvard of ‘indifference to antisemitism.’ As a Harvard undergrad he wrote a paper from Hitler’s perspective. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m...
Just call it the "Genital Inspection Movement"
Yes, put the Genital Inspection Movement™ on the defensive.
i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat
This held me up: “it begins with an account of the plague in Florence, painting a vivid picture of its grisly symptoms and the social breakdown that followed in its wake. Boccaccio survived the plague of 1347 but Santagata, his biographer, died in the plague of 2020.”
That's harsh, Kevin. What, just because David Zaslav renamed HBO Max to 'Glorp' and movies to 'Instagram reels with Boomer feels'?
There is nothing this simpleton loves more than rebranding things. He's like the David Zaslav of presidents
This is insanely ahistorical. The Department of Defense was an all new creation in 1947, specially to bring together the disparate armed services. The “Department of War” was really just the army. I hate how stupid Trump’s most performative actions are.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.
LLM companies are beta testing experimental products our children, and educators are facilitating it.
What's really going on? Trump's fine, we all died, this is hell

I doubt it. And he probably wouldn't and couldn't get licensed anywhere else at this point. But you never know?
Seems like as good a time as any to reshare my story on the Coffee County voting system breach, which details the key role Giuliani played in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...
He is likely the first Presidential Medal of Freedom winner to have ever been disbarred twice. He is also likely the first Presidential Medal of Freedom winner to have ever been disbarred once.
Who knows, someday he could be the first Presidential Medal of Freedom winner to be disbarred three times. 🤞 Keep hope alive.

Here's hoping some history happens
why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"
ok I watch a lot of horror movies and you gotta stay safe out there folks. keep unbroken salt lines around the bed and stay clear of empty vessels (dolls, corpses, Atlantic staff writers)

I am reminded of a story I heard long ago about a guy seeing a book titled "Girl to Grab" on the shelf at the library, thinking it was enticing, and going over, only to find out it was a volume of the encyclopedia.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

The thing I would really love is the ability to save an image on my phone with alt text that then gets included when I go to post it on different platforms. Which would obviously require some coordination with the UI since it would no longer just be uploading the image.
My nights all seem to go this way. Fall into bed exhausted, but then wake up at 4 or 5am worrying about the UK government seeming to be preparing to hand the country over to thugs and fascists.
Ah, here on this side of the pond we don't have to worry, because, uh... oh dear
After scrolling the thread I think this is the funniest reply

I'm not convinced that the Substack alternatives are not "networked" and cannot "facilitate growth."
I certainly don't think you're morally corrupt, Judd. I think you're doing good work, which is why I used to subscribe to you, until a year or two ago when I decided I couldn't pay for anything on Substack anymore.

Interesting from someone who swept homeless camps because the next verse is : “Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?” – James 2:15-16

considering republicans are trying to traffic children literally as we speak, “we will protect your children from republicans” is a broadly applicable goal that seems easy to sell but i guess we don’t talk about child safety at the kitchen table?

As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle
I hope no one other than Giuliani was injured

Remember the Goolsbee Rule, also called the “pathological irony of crisis”: If you lose credibility, your statements begin to mean the opposite of what you say.
There is no explicit prohibition against the President cancelling elections, so it's hard to see why liberals think they are entitled to elections in 2026 and 2028. by Jonathan Turley
Wow, this would have been really useful before the invention of globes or other map projections or everyone being told for the last fifty years that the Mercator projection is problematic or the invention of Google Maps or Google Earth or...

Thank you, Nicholas. I feel a lot less maddened by it to see it put in such clear and cogent terms.
The lies' laughable implausibility is a feature, not a bug. They're not trying to convince discerning, skeptical, fact-based people. They're trying to give supporters a fantasy that validates their feelings and creates a sort of loyalty test, while flaunting the absurdity in everyone else's faces.
Litotes is a particular form of antiphrasis in which understatement is used to underscore something, but I don't think there's a specific term for the converse, using exaggeration to minimize something.
Antiphrasis is the rhetorical term for stating the opposite of what you mean in a way that makes it clear what you really meant, e.g. "fat chance" to mean "slim chance."
feel like slim and fat chance should be a different amount of chance
