The heist, "caught on film", had texture and warmth and an indescribable aura of authenticity that it would have lacked had it been shot with digital cameras.

Feels like the US has spent the last 5+ years on the verge of some kind of secular moral revival that keeps getting channeled into weirdo lifestyle puritanism

Also "activism", climate science", "equality", "gender" and "belong"
According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Can't believe the dummy in charge of OpenAI said "we need more electrons", an objectively nonsensical sentence that makes him look like an idiot to anyone who completed high school science and now, because he's rich, people are imitating his nonsense words like they're serious thought.
In the bottom 0.1% of the massive mountain of errors, broken arguments and cotton-brained ignorance at play in this classic Yglesias work, but when you generate electricity, you aren't "making electrons", you are pushing them around!!!!!

Hillary Clinton loves to complain about TikTok but if the New York Times and Jake Tapper on CNN were forced to focus on Ben-Gvir and Smotrich as much as they like to focus on *literally making things up about Rashida Tlaib*, Israel would have -100 public approval.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Trump was never a dove, he just wanted wars that (in an, ahem, crude fashion) redound to America’s immediate and obvious material benefit: his problem with Iraq wasn’t its brutality, it’s that they didn’t (directly) take the oil!

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.
