Great article on what a failure and a joke Elon Musk's "Hyperloop" turned out to be, after he made outlandish promises about how revolutionary it was going to be.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.
My most authoritarian opinion is that the MMR vaccine should be mandatory, with only medical (not religious or floofy) exemptions allowed. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

Sorry, kid, the government cancelled research into a cure for your disease. The man who swims in sewage and snorts cocaine in public restrooms said it's bad for you. Besides, there's no money now that we're locking up your friend's parents and the guys who mowed our lawn.

After 35 attacks and 131 deaths, we’re normalizing the illegal boat strikes, erasing the dead as "narco-terrorists"—even while drug supplies appear unaffected. Some in the military are growing comfortable with this. But the slippery slope is clear: impunity breeds escalation, perhaps even at home.

abolishing CBP/ICE is the moderate position
Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.
