After everything I am coming to the conclusion the really important discourse is the popular culture one because having good (not necessarily interesting or unique) popular culture takes is the best proxy for good political takes.

Trump on his multiple suits against the federal government: "I'm supposed to work out a settlement with myself ... We could make it a substantial amount, nobody would care, because it's gonna go to numerous, very good charities."

The opposite of the hack gap is the competent loyal ally gap ... its always favored the liberal forces but the difference is getting stark and absurd right now.
Anyway I am going to consider joining the DOJ when the republic is restored - they are going to need it.

This rules so hard. In law school I remember people who wanted to be federal prosecutors spending three years doing everything they could to be maybe, possibly be competitive for an AUSA job someday. Now you just need to hop on X the everything app and DM a guy named Chad.

This is formalism triumphing over the spirit of the law.
I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@docrevan.bsky.social any comics about Batman being very anti fascist or pro immigration?
For sure Superman would be picking up ICE agents and dropping them off on deserted islands

An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

I really wish someone would ask George W Bush, Alberto Gonzales, James Comey, and Robert Muller about is. These were the people in charge when this cover up happened.
And then, just like that, the grand jury is called off and the case is closed.
2006. Just utterly, utterly sickening.

Seeing Brad Karp’s name in there inspired me to do some searching and guess who else is in there? Richard Trobman, chairman of Latham and Watkins who apparently is a “fan” of Epstein and referred to him as Latham’s “most valuable asset”

I think Trump I revealed the rot in the republican elite and Trump II revealed that the rot was widespread and now no one is sure how bad it is and everything is suspected of being rotted... and its probably a healthy attitude in moderation

Cyberbullying Elon into decompensating is the only good argument to use X and I am not going to do it. But if you are still on X you should definitely try to cyberbully Elon ...
yeah Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files a whole bunch but you should focus most of your energy on Elon Musk because he is currently less untouchable and can cause a whole lot of collateral damage spiraling out of control

Interesting: since the election of Pope Leo, the first American pontiff, Catholics, including white Catholics, have begun an abrupt migration away from the GOP.

Ironically the same billionaire think that the world not constantly kissing their asses and praising them for the "great contributions" is history's greatest crime.
These billionaires are firm believer that nothing bad can happen to them and if anything bad happens to the world they can use their power in increase their power.
