rec of the day NAPE NECK 'the h=shallowest end" (dot dash sounds LP) excellent buzz generated at the recent gonerfest by this great leeds trio, whose first "real" LP recalls little claw at their no waviest, amonst many other DIY-based gut-busting form moves.

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says

The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

it's 2025 and Will Leitch is calling someone else a failure.

I mean, comparing Arch Manning to Quibi is pretty harsh. It would be sort of like saying Will Leitch was the original Luke Winkie.

Hey, New York Times? Stay Out of Texas Football Family Business.

The New York Times branded Arch Manning “college football’s first flop,” drawing a backlash from some very unlikely places.

Oregonians will recognize the names of almost all of those people cited on that list. Most have been involved in Proud Boy/Patriot Prayer/far right MAGA activism for several years. Daviscourt, for example, was with Turning Point USA for a few years and is a prolific far right content creator.

There is an entire stable of far right "influencers" cosplaying as journalists who are in Portland "covering" events there. The person who compiled this list was arrested for his actions on January 6. He texted a friend from DC to celebrate that the Proud Boys were "beating the shit" out of BLM.

I love when Andy Ngo does one of his David Attenborough-style posts about Antifa and highlights some kid who took a bong rip and waddled into the protest dressed like a giant muppet.

My favorite flavor of his commentary by far.

Andy Ngo wants to draw your attention to Barney the dinosaur

It isn't just that you can't express verbal support for Palestine Action. You may also not even be free to simply question the government's decision to ban it. This is the most basic political expression — challenging how leaders govern. And yet.

Rick @rick-sco.bsky.social · 4d

Yeh, you can't even disagree with the action of declaring Palestine Action a terrorist group. Pretty sure they will just try to arrest anyone with the words Action & Palestine in what they deem to be the wrong order at this point. Some politicians are really in need of swift replacement.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

New from me:
newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.
