Hey everyone, I have some exciting, very cool news!

I'm publishing a book! It's called "Ultimart" and it's available 4/15/25!

It's a dark sci-fi comedy about an AI marketing worker waging war against a dome city run by a single megacorp.

You can pre-order it here: carlwilhoyte.com/product/ulti...

this just drives me insane. all of this rests on the idea that out of a couple hundred people you cannot find 5 or so with a conscience or a basic sense of duty to our system of laws

Taking this earnestly: 2 SCOTUS Justices OR 3 House GOP members + 4 GOP Senators. So either 2 or 7, I guess?

it's funny to see things like this every day, reflexively ask yourself "where is the limit," remember that "there are no limits" but then have your inner institutionalist say "but imagine if one day we do reach a limit lol"

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

At least in the current moment, I agree.

The rational response to such unmitigated criminality is to immediately impeach, arrest him, and then appropriate all of his stolen property. Then do so to everyone who facilitated this criminal conspiracy.

That's not going to happen, because this is not a rational country. This is a farce.

I know I say this a lot, but this is insane. This is a shakedown. This is the most corrupt White House in American history bar none.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue

Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

This and GSC Game World with Stalker 2, I can't imagine the absolute chad mentality of putting together a video game while your fucking country is being invaded.

Insane props to these folks.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.
