I do not fear the Menswear Guy. what's he going to tell me about myself that I am not already acutely aware of. "you dress like you don't respect yourself" good eye ace
The fact the Menswear Guy is actively dunking on the Bsky user base now instead of just cross-posting the threads where he does that to Twitter users should terrify all of us.
true. that's bc you've allowed your sense of style to be narrowly defined by fashion brands, instead of thinking about it in terms of cultural history. over the course of the 20th century, many groups have dressed well, even if they didn't conform to fashion trends or bourgeois respectability

It's actually worse. The Supreme Court has held 9-0 -- Clarence Thomas and other executive power fanatics included -- that detainees rendered to another country via the Alien Enemies Act are entitled to a pre-deportation hearing. There is no legal debate whatsoever.
Belatedly, this line from Weiss' memo is...something
Let's get someone who says banishing to CECOT was legit, she says
Here's the thing: There's a consensus among legal experts that *wasn't* legit
You can find someone who says moon is made outta Fluffernutter. Doesn't mean you should quote 'em

That’s the thing man. If they are to be taken at their word the only takeaway is that there should be no black people in any job any other white person wants. One quick Google search for any of these jobs would show there are usually one or two minorities are best in a unit of 20 or 30 or more.
UAlbany, one of those, NY state universities, has been hovering around 4 percent tenure track Black faculty since ever. I am THE Black tenure track political scientists. These folks are just little liars.
You’ll never guess who else experienced ‘racism’ on the job market despite their unimpeachable academic credentials.

DC Cir. will allow the continued deployment of National Guard troops in D.C. while the litigation continues.
Decision rests on idea that D.C. has no sovereignty (or federalism interest) of its own bc it is not a state.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

Awesome! Flytrap allows you to read single articles for a small fee. I appreciate this! I want to make sure writers get paid, but there’s just not enough budget to subscribe to every publication I want to support.
I hope other Indy journalists start doing something similar!

"My child was perfect and has been replaced by a changeling baby," but in the year 2025.
some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

One of the things that stuck out to me in the AI actress conversation was that a man described her as "your best change to see a virgin onscreen" and the idea that lack of ability to have sex=virgin skeeved me out on a deep deep level

There are more people organizing and pushing back against the regime today than there were in the first term. There are more people in more places (rural towns and big cities across the country). I think it's really strange how resistant some people are to these facts. I wonder what's going on.

There’s also its key aim of procurement capture for its corrupt owners. We will not know whether DOGE has been uprooted until we have gotten into the Signal chat full of white supremacists and extremists where all of its activity is illegally coordinated, entirely outside of government authority.

The big takeaway here is if you take every progressive Dem congressional candidate and replace them with a moderate, you flip a total of zero House seats for Dems in 2024. Politics is a big overdetermined mess, and ideology is but one small factor in outcomes www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-strate...
