The Butlerian Jihad is entirely explained in Herbert's original books. Ironically if you 'let a machine think for you' and do an online search for "Butlerian Jihad" the algorithms of the search engines give you one of the prequel books as a top result. Fitting!
"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence
May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
a good one that will only mean anything to Bay Area people, Berkeley's Campanile is further west than Stanford's bell tower
Portland is further north than Minneapolis
The way Fetlife got entire swathes of content nixed and I never heard about it shows that this is going to keep being a problem unless we make ourselves a bigger one.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.
It could always get worse. Consider the History Channel.
Except in the Sierra, where anything can happen, July or no. I once had to turn back because of heavy snow on Sonora Pass in July.
never underestimate the power of "and"
"My wife and I's house" is a fine construction. Trying to do "My wife's and my house" just sounds like you're an obnoxious pedant. Like you're the kind of person who insists on people saying "The data are." You are both annoying and fail to actually understand language.
Since I've seen two people complaining about it recently: The English possessive 's is an enclitic. It is not a suffix that is rigidly attached to the end of a word, it attaches to a whole phrase.
I find my cat annoying because she spends all day screaming, yowling, and begging for a pinch of Mexican Style Four Cheese Blend, but one day no one in this home will scream, yowl, or beg for Mexican Style Four Cheese Blend and I will be sad

Anything but healthy, I assure you. A healthy percentage owned by private equity would be 0%.
can we all appreciate that this will get turned into a conspiracy theory that Epstein is somehow alive
incredible that mainstream media keeps announcing that the story they "missed" during the election was biden's age, even though it got constant coverage for years, and not "donald trump was close friends with notorious pedophile jeffrey epstein"
The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

They’ll set a criminal free just to put a non-criminal away for political reasons. This is how Russia does “justice” folks.
They demand Zohran Mamdani be deported for offering free childcare. They cream their jeans over the thought of an Alligator Alcatraz. Truly evil, vile, miserable people that only want the worst for everyone.
he's right and he's right to say it
This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao
They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.
Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a Congress with any modern history whatsoever at effectively asserting its authority to limit war powers. But that's not a living memory.
Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.
Flashback to Trump saying that if Harris gets elected, she'll start World War III, and yeah, every accusation really was an admission.
Axios now reporting that Trump has bombed multiple sites in Iran. I'm struggling to control my rage. How many people have to die while we let these 3 cruel megalomaniacs go to war?
Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.
Leave trans kids alone.
There is no God, only Zuul, and she replied, “That’s wild” to my trauma.
Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)
Where in god’s name are we as a society when “being young and ambitious on policy” is an unforgivable sin, while “being corrupt and resigning in disgrace after then sexual predation of dozens of women” is not?
It's pretty notable that mainstream, establishment discourse never ever ever considers giving liberal politicians credit for crime reductions. It's almost axiomatic that if crime goes down under a center-left leader it's either unremarked upon, or must be driven by something else.

Actually I was just looking it up, and it looks like my estimate was LOW. Lincoln Chronicle is saying about 500!
"defund the police" was so obviously correct. I really don't care if it doesn't poll well. it's like telling me that I should stop saying I like vaccines if they stopped polling well.
We had about 300 out in Lincoln City!
Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.
This letter comes from the guy who literally raised his fist to the mob outside the capitol on January 6th!
The bloodthirstiness with which people are cheering on the marines going into an American city, is a problem.
ICE attacked community members in #SanDiego who mobilized in defense of workers. "The crowd surrounded agents, yelling profanities + calling them fascists. Many people recorded the agents and the license plates of their vehicles." Police used weapons after the crowd attempted to block vehicles.
i don't think they're as literally worried about Larry Summers as the broader media landscape deciding to be all inflation all the time, Larry Summers is just synecdoche here i'm pretty sure
As someone with an undergrad linguistics degree, I'm going to recommend calling this argument "poppyCOCK" and see how it goes from there
Even after all this, the @nytimes continues to normalize it
The Right is a mass movement for domination and inequality. For them, Trump has always been a useful mask of 'populism.'
Race animates a lot of ICE/CBP, but I can't stress enough how—as with all law enforcement—a key factor is sheer *laziness*. They're not tracking down drug gangs, they're going for the easiest targets they can find. Official hearings (citizenship, court, etc) are fish in a barrel to run numbers up.
the thing thing about the admonition to “not take the bait” is that while it makes sense in the context of an election — where you are trying to communicate a narrow set of ideas broadly — it does not make sense in the context of “how do we make this president as unpopular as possible”
My daughter’s speech therapist went out of business because Medicaid reimbursement rates were too low. We do not have Medicaid. I’m going to keep posting this until people understand that when Medicaid gets cut *everyone* loses services.
it was not right that Hasan was stopped however his encounter seems to have ended when he asked if he was being detained. if this happens to you the script is simple am I being detained? If no: may I go If yes: invoke the 5th
I have a feeling this is the case for a vast range of political issues that are just trickier to measure than migrant flows.

the good ending would be if they don't
Greyhound, I promise I will never talk smack about you ever again. Bravo
No matter how bad you imagine smallpox was, it was worse than that.
Some experts fear that attacks on immigrants could open the door to authoritarianism around the world.
love to make america great again by essentially expelling the people that enrich our children’s lives
If another country cut off our supply of vaccines or unleashed contagious vaccine-preventable diseases on us, we would call it what it is: bioterrorism. Just because it’s a Kennedy doing it to us from inside the house does not change that.
Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.
While you highlight it, please note is the product of local journalism, which has been carrying a lot of the burden in an environment where national outlets simply can't cover everything everywhere all at once. Support your local journalists!

"the coddling of the american conservative" would be such a good book
it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

This guy is great at this, and thank god.
The abolish ICE crowd has never been more vindicated
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
they're doing fine, i just worry. and wish i could get them to follow me out to the West Coast lmao
i have very-not-trump relatives in Indiana so i'm less than thrilled
here is that list in map form, for anyone interested
well i am sure this administration will take strong action to make sure food safety is a top priority going forwa… hold on i am getting an update
for now. the inconvenient rich (who happen to be outspoken and/or minoritized) won't be first, but if this continues, they will be on the list.
you'll notice the the commercial van at the end does drive right through, apparently being the only driver in line who actually knows their vehicle
oh no i turn 27 in a few months
So all 9 members of the Supreme Court, then?
We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law. We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders. To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance. Defeatism is a form of surrender.
RFK said Americans “addicted” to opioids, antidepressants, and stimulants should be sent to “wellness farms." Well, this country tried that once before. This is how it went. ⤵️
worth reiterating that in literally any other context a 10% tariff on Japan alone would be getting wall to wall financial news coverage, would be considered the largest trade war escalation in modern American history and the dumbest economic policy move by a President in decades
Jeff Bezos has enough money to send Katy Perry and Gayle King on a joyride to space for 11 minutes. He can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.
