There should be a rule that if you are a Known Sports Poster you can say things like “holy fucking shit” with zero context but if you are primarily a Known Politics Poster that gets you like a two day ban

Remember: RFK Jr. fired his last CDC director because she refused to ram through his anti-vax agenda.
Yesterday, RFK Jr.’s handpicked vaccine skeptics threw out DECADES of settled science — and Donald Trump gave a thumbs-up.
This will hurt American kids and families.

CDC advisory panel rolls back universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation
The change upends decades of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and goes against widespread public health consensus.

More than 110 people have signed in to speak at today's University of Nebraska Board of Regents' meeting.
Most of them are faculty, including those from four academic programs that have been proposed for cuts.
It's going to be a long day.

PRESIDENT’S PHYSICIAN: He’ll probably be out cold for a while; this last episode of diarrhea was quite painful for him.
STEPHEN MILLER: Hm. Is there any chance we can get him to say something incredibly racist at 3pm?

not overreacting or anything, but Dr. Bronner’s de-kookifying their soap labels and adding more graphics is a real “death of the West” moment in this office.

Contra Ross Douthat here, a foundational idea of Bidenomics was that Trumpist authoritarianism was partly fueled by legit grievances over neoliberalism. This heavily shaped their industrial policies. As always, Ross erases the last half century of lib egalitarian theory from his diagnosis. So odd.

Lesson one: Yes, you can do a lot of things if you break the law.
Lesson two: Doing something is not the same as doing a good thing - it is harder to build than it is to destroy.
Trump has built nothing like the TVA. His lawbreaking is not "freeing the stuck wheels of bureaucracy."

If you think your job is not to tell the truth but to "challenge your audience's assumptions" if the latter is in tension with the former then you're going to end up lying. bsky.app/profile/larr...
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”

Schenley Park looms high above the area known as Four Mile Run (often called “The Run” by locals). In addition to the park, the neighborhood also lies below a segment of I-376 and the latest version of the Greenfield Bridge. 🧵
