the picture of the stuffed animal sticking out of the glove compartment just inches away from the blood spattered dashboard is gonna be one of those images that haunts me forever. even when your whole job is looking at the horrors on purpose and you get good at forgetting, some things are seared in.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

I think it is important to understand not only that Supreme Court’s agenda is substantively abhorrent, but also that the justices are, at bottom, absolute fucking cowards about it. It should be humiliating for them to show their faces in public. Pathetic.
The Conservative Justices Are Too Cowardly to Say What They Mean
The Court used to at least pretend to care about showing its work. Now, it just wants to do Trump’s bidding as quickly as possible.

My personal threshold for “this person is insane—but in an interesting way!” is much higher in 2025 than it was in 2015. But that’s probably just because I’m busier.

Infuriating to see over and over that being a Democratic president, member of Congress, or Supreme Court justice are the only jobs in America where it’s considered gauche to suggest that it might be good for everyone if an elderly and/or sick person were to retire

Industrially produced and “wild” honey can be distinguished by asking yourself “which of these tastes like a symbol of abundance, sometimes associated with madness, the result of winged insects repeatedly chewing and spitting out specific plant matter, and which tastes like refined simple syrup?”
