New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

Colorado's KNUS-AM played a key role in boosting unsupported claims that the 2020 election was rigged by Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems. KNUS' owner, Salem Radio, is now offering an apology and retraction.

If Fox News is backing Trump taking out the Iranian nuclear site, I'm convinced that's what this administration told them to say: that a massive strike is in the interest of peacekeeping.
Fox News is fully back in pre-2003 mode as it sells the Iran War to its viewers.

Emily Compagno: "Sometimes the way to preserve peace through strength is to take some action that will protect, as an investment, American and allied interests... That would be the peacemaking deal of the century."

Our species built Stonehenge, Machu PIchu, and Chartres without large language models, wrote The Divine Comedy and Pride and Prejudice and The Book of the Tao without them, but could they make tuna melts without them?

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.

Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

“Catastrophic fire erases what was there before. So does forgetting. Memory is a resource for facing the future; it’s equipment for imagining, planning, preparing.”
@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social pin-sharp and bang-on as always.
I wrote a thing, because these fires are in the increasingly common category of shocking but not surprising. Neither unprecedented nor unforeseen by those who study the subjects.....

Hot tip for the next two years: a Republican bill does the opposite of what it’s called.

A GOP bill defunding schools that mandate vaccines would be called the “Protect our Schools Act.”

A GOP bill raising the retirement age for social security would be called the “Retire With Dignity Act.”
