DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?

DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?

DR: Now look

Imma be real I think it's genuinely in the State of Israel's long term interest to receive far less aid and be forced to stop antagonizing everyone out of pure defensive self interest.

Tonight is Tu B’Shvat, the “birthday of the trees” for Jews.

It is one of the holidays most tied to the natural cycle of the seasons rather than to the events of Jewish history (e.g. Hannukah, Tisha B’Av, Passover).

Specifically, it is tied to the natural cycle of Palestine/the Land of Israel.

Ezra Klein had a hilariously bad 2025: started with that embarrassing Abundance book, declared Marie Concentrationcamp Perez the future of the Dem party, wrote that Charlie Kirk was doing the politics the right way, and argued that Epstein kept his pedophilia separate from his business life.

We can put all of Thielworld in jail and call it Epstein if we want to. No one would notice a distinction and they're so interlinked it wouldn't even be lying

my increasingly curmudgeonly take is that we all, in fact, have responsibilities. politics isn't an arena for self-actualization. it's an arena for public service. this is as true of voters as it is of politicians.
Ps: a common refrain that you'll hear is that "you're saying the Dems can't be at fault, it's the voters, as if the voters owe something to politicians and not the other way around!"

Yes, actually, that's how the social contract of democracy works. Voters yet the government they work for. Or don't.

the Democrats should announce that they will not renew any contracts with XAI, Palantir, Tesla, or SpaceX and bankrupt the fucking tech right. announce that you have the votes to ban crypto too.
New: Tesla 4th quarter profit plunges 61% year-over-year; annual profit down 46%

the brand damage:
-1 million lost vehicle sales, per study
-Declining revenue, profits, deliveries in 1st half of '25
-Lower total production/deliveries than '24
-Lost crown as world's leading EV seller

Tesla bet big on Elon Musk. His politics continue to haunt it.
Tesla struggles to regain its footing in the electric vehicle market, hindered by Elon Musk’s political activity, impacting its stock price and performance.

The easiest way to understand the current system is that it’s designed to reduce costs as much as possible for business while keeping health insurance around as a way to discipline labor

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."

In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

I was always told that one of the central lessons of the Shoah is that legal, juridical regimes can still be immoral. The claim that Anne Frank was in Amsterdam "legally" is false, but more than that, the question "Was Anne Frank an illegal?" is so grossly missing the point of Holocaust remembrance.

I just want to point out that Bovino's response to Bill gives away the underlying worldview: Sympathizing with (black and brown) immigrants over (white) American citizens makes you a (race) traitor, which makes you a part of the "problem" (and thereby deserving of same treatment as the immigrants)
Honored that in his last days of fame and fortune at CBP the disgraced Gregory Bovino chose to attack, among others, me.

Apologies for yet another Irish Revolution comparison: the Irish population was very much opposed to the Easter Rising in 1916 because downtown Dublin was destroyed for, seemingly, no purpose. Until the British executed James Connolly as he was dying of gangrene. He was strapped to a chair and shot.
There's another way to look at this. ICE is doing everything the military manual tells you not to do to civilian populations because it creates insurgencies where none existed before.
