Every jaw in the room dropped. He had done the unthinkable. He had not only told them his beliefs, but he had done it with the equal degree of certainty that they had employed in telling him theirs. And there's this unspoken rule in America: Only Christians are allowed to do this.

What does "ex-CIA and ex -RAND" mean to people? Is this derogatory?
Right, it’s just genocide experts, and the United Nations, and Amnesty International saying that, and here on the “no it isn’t” side is a bloodthirsty ghoul who lists “ex-RAND, ex-CIA” in his Bluesky bio.

Worth noting that it never bothered me at all when someone told me merry Christmas, until all this shit and now it makes me take a beat and consider whether the person saying it is a Fox News psycho
In retrospect the Bush-era War On Christmas stuff seems more ominous than it did at the time. It was just cable news guys crying about dumb/fake shit, then and now; I mean the campaign to turn Christmas, which most everyone likes and feels warmly about, into just another thing to get mad about.

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

We had a board meeting for the New Orleans Women and Children's Shelter this morning and I'm overjoyed to announce we have received so many donations of gifts this year, that each kid in our programs (both in and out of shelter) will be receiving two gifts this year!

Did you know that the US hasn’t had an ambassador in Moscow in 6 months?
Or that our chief envoy to Russia won’t take briefings from the CIA?
But wait, there’s more. Much more in this 6-byline WSJ piece on the Witkoff-Putin axis.

For an entire community of my down-and-out neighbors, this hygiene center is the only place to take a shower, wash clothes, repair a bike, or get a sweater, blanket, or hot meal…while also enjoying a little bit of community.

Excited for this advanced tech to come to New Orleans, a city with a famously reliable electric grid and road infrastructure.
Failed Waymo robot blocking emergency services during a widespread emergency:
Grant St at Sacramento, heart of Chinatown, San Francisco
I've been warning about this scenario for ~7 yrs. Safety drivers fix this in seconds. SFPD will prob have to drive this out of the way.

Being the director of the FBI and releasing a couples podcast while a mass shooter is on the loose is a wild choice
lot of awful and insane stuff going on. but if you really want to have a brain bleed this holiday season don't lose sight of Stephen Miller's wife doing a video podcast with the FBI director and his gf about their love life

This is exactly what everyone I talk to is saying about health insurance! We want the emu and the gecko! Nothing less will do! And certainly nothing more!
Scalise: "Everybody complains, 'Why when I watch TV do I see this Gecko lizard & emu & all these animals out there selling car insurance & homeowners insurance? Why aren't they selling healthcare?' That's bc federal laws prohibit people to have choices for lower cost products for health insurance"

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

the unstated assumption of Yglesias saying that we need to be with the Nazis for Discourse Reasons is a presumed interest in finding common ground with or convincing Nazis to stop being Nazis.
