I’m a reasonable man, get off my case. (he/him)
Lots of people reacting to this as if it speaks to the moral goodness of lawyers, but I don’t think it’s that at all — it’s that the judges and bar associations have so far proved willing to (slowly) inflict actual, serious consequences on people who break the law for Herr Donald.
DM me? We used to get hundreds of highly qualified applicants for a single job posting. Good prosecutors are increasingly hesitant to work for this DOJ.

This is a case study in why the @adamjentleson.bsky.social Searchlight people are full of shit. Republicans think Kamala is more left-wing than Zohran by a 20-point margin. Independents think Kamala is more left-wing than Zohran by a 7-point margin. Policy is not driving these judgments!
it’s lowkey pretty funny how republicans show no ability to distinguish between anyone else’s ideology. their idea of left-wing extremists are like pelosi & hillary. it leads to them saying amazing stuff like “we owned your hero, bill maher”

From this one transverse sample of our rulers’ emails, we can only imagine how much similar material there must be, involving how many others.

If you want to combine the lab leak theory and Epstein, here’s your connection
This is Nathan Wolfe. Nathan is a virus hunter. Nathan has a bit of a reputation. Through the years, I've told multiple journalists stories I've heard, like "Nathan thanks Jeffrey Epstein in his book." Somehow no one ever wrote anything up. Want to see what Nathan was up to in today's Epstein files?

I feel like this is case closed on the question of what Epstein was up to
That feeling when you, a terrorism and extremism scholar, see documentary evidence that shows moot met with Jeffery Epstein on the same day /pol was launched:

More than anything else, the belief that AI is conscious or has a capacity for introspection reminds me of the belief that masks “don’t work.” It works the same way, basically, which is applying experimental methods in order to “answer” questions about things we already understand the cause of.

Like, this is what Scott Alexander is saying and I just want to scream. IT IS TRAINED ON US. IT IS IMITATING US. IT IS NOT “CONSCIOUS.” IT IS AN ALGORITHM TRAINED ON REDDIT POSTS BEING PROMPTED TO WRITE REDDIT POSTS! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!!

I do not understand how the Democrats are not just demanding enormous reforms 24/7. I understand that they can’t just pass them. I do not understand why they seem to be treating this as a personnel problem only.
there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

I don’t claim to have invented this, though I don’t think I got it from anywhere, but I’m seeing a lot more people calling the “Trump regime” now and I feel massively vindicated in doing so from day one. Try this one on for size too: “Acting President Trump.”
