Crazy that Snapchat has usage close to that of instagram and TikTok among young people and can’t make a profitable business of it
Teens turn to a variety of online platforms, but YouTube continues to stand out. Roughly nine-in-ten teens report ever using it. TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat are the next most widely used platforms.

I threw a Christmas party and made meat balls as one of the hors d’oeuvres. At the end we went out to the bars without putting the leftovers away. That was two days ago, and I’m still finding bits of the meatballs my cat stole and hid around my apartment.

I genuinely don’t understand how attorneys can bill their time non-contemporaneously. I don’t remember what I was doing at 8 AM how are you figuring out what you were doing three weeks ago?

Last week I reported the Dept of Labor was holding its “Inaugural Secretary's Prayer Service." It took place yesterday and I've gotten disturbing reports, including comments made by right wing Rabbi Yaakov Menken.
This story confirms what I've been told: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/department...

![“Hanukkah is not just about a festival of lights. Hanukkah is about redemption from religious persecution,” Menken said during the DoL service. “The miracle of Hanukkah was a sign from God that [the Maccabees] had done the right thing and that they would be successful in their efforts.”
“We also live in a generation where too many, even in things that the Department of Labor deals with directly, are focused upon how to do it wrong, persecuting individuals based on their religious beliefs,” he added. “There are employers out there who will try to force even and, of course, in government to certify same-sex weddings, require preferred gender pronouns, force a baker to bake a cake celebrating something he doesn’t like, force nurses to perform abortions, endocrinologists to administer unnecessary and harmful hormones. And in too many firms, anyone with a Jewish name need not apply. Hanukkah tells us that not only that there is a right and a wrong, but there is an almighty God who stands with us when we fight to move in the right direction.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/bafkreiczmk7hz2vyvjp2mvoyzsvzs4wixecvl55ot3iwwpg7ihixab4h5m@jpeg)

I like his mom’s podcast but really who gives a fuck what her nepo baby son things about political strategy?
This exchange drives me nuts. Neither the interviewer nor Bazelon acknowledges that 1) abortion rights are really popular! and 2) what ICE is doing is hugely unpopular!

the elevation of “separation of powers” as the paramount value of the constitution is just rhetorical justification for presidential dictatorship, since that is what you have when the legislative branch cannot constrain the exercise of executive power through law.
In her dissent, Judge Pan says the emerging view of executive power by Trump and his backers in the courts "concentrates excessive power in the President and thus paves the way to autocracy." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Obviously it’s a pipe dream, but Pete Hegseth should spend the rest of his life in prison for the strikes in Caribbean. Not a close call.

Watch how white leftists will start shouting and demanding a primary challenge against Hakeem Jeffries as we get closer to the midterms. Especially once it looks like Democrats are poised to reclaim the House. It’s already starting.

I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

What’s next? No tax on clothes, need that to live. Rent? Food? Fuck it why not abolish all taxes and just run on debt. I am a serious legislator who cares about the American people.
Hawley is pitching his colleagues — and Trump — on a new health care plan that would allow all tax payers to deduct up to $25K/person in medical expenses.
Hawley told us he recently discussed the idea with Trump: “I said...'no taxes on tips, no taxes on health care’, and he goes ‘oh I like that."

Silver lining of Trump II is all these supposed liberal just admitting they are vile racists
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet but Noah Smith now apparently thinks South Asians (like the Ugandan-Indian Zohran Mamdani) are using anti-Zionism as an inter-diaspora social bludgeon in order to move up the American cultural strata.
