Small point of disagreement with Derek here: as someone who grew up in right wing circles in the Bush/GWOT years, I don't think there was this distinction at that time. I DO think these people derived pleasure from the torture happening at e.g. Abu Ghraib, they just had plausible deniability.
It was hard to convince Americans torture is wrong as a moral principle during Bush's term, and that was with the debate about whether torture makes us safer. I'm afraid for a portion of Trump's base, that calculation matters less. Idea of torturing undocumented immigrants may even bring pleasure.

Really starting to feel like I'm getting good at guitar now that I just flawlessly played the "sliding down" section of the solo from Fade to Black without even looking at the fretboard.
Am I good enough to play on stage? No. Am I good enough to record? No. Am I good enough to show off? Maybe.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

having blusky's set to make you click-through to see anything flagged as "adult content" is great, because it's like a little surprise present.
90% of the time its an anime girl in a bikini
the remaining 10% someone is trying to insert an entire washing machine into their ass

What you do for work is at best, useless, and at worst, going to destroy humanity. You want to think you’re Marie Curie, experimenting with something dangerous that can change lives. You’re more like the girls of Atomic City, except you know what you’re working with. You know you’re building a bomb.

Okay. I can’t help with the eating the tree. If you want suggestions for anchoring it, I’m your girl. I’ve currently got a tree up and 5
Foster kittens and it’s still up ;)
15-20 pounds on each side of the tree, and you’ll be fine.

Yglesias referring to Senator Van Hollen as a "safe seat clout-chaser" is so despicable. VH took a stand to prevent Abrego García - an innocent man - from being disappeared into CECOT for life.
matt & co’s theory of how public opinion on immigration would respond to new information was simply empirically wrong.
at this point the only reasonable conclusion is they refuse to update their priors w/ new data because the data is inconvenient for them
