Not very warfighter of them. They need real manly men like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth to go out there and show them how it's done.

Wurman's views of the law are so bizarre. I sell a watch to someone who will pay me $100. If they're undocumented and they don't pay, I have no recourse, even if they're still here in the US. Wut.

Such gnarly pretzels lawyers must twist themselves into when denying birthright citizenship.

Socrates is a man.
All men are mortal.
Therefore, everyone who is not a man is immortal.

Nuclear experts undercut White House claims about Iran reactor at heart of case for war The Trump administration sent negotiators without nuclear expertise to lead talks on Iran’s enrichment program. Now, its public case for war centers on a facility that experts say cannot do what offic...

Of course, neither Witkoff nor Kushner should be tasked with anything of importance, but I assume the decision not to include nuclear weapons experts wasn't incompetence, it was deliberate. There was never any intent to negotiate anything, the failed "talks" were a sham to justify the planned war.

I know, talking sincerely about Constitutional Law is pointless these days, but: a strong argument can be made that the President has no power to pardon anyone for illegal acts connected in any way to his own administration because such a pardon would violate the Take Care clause.

I have solved the Schrodinger's cat problem by reframing it as asking if the cat is not alive or not dead.

Okay if they want to go down that road then in the next Dem admin we will ruthlessly pursue off-label prescriptions, particularly of ketamine and testosterone, in the 20 wealthiest zip codes and among the 400 richest families.

I know, "low-info" voters and all that, but I still marvel at how people don't realize everything gets worse under Republicans. I get far more scam calls than I used to. All these little laws go from "grossly insufficient" to "wholly unenforced."

I would like an explanation as to what specific crimes are occurring / planned in NJ that are so egregious Trump can't trust the US Attorney's Office there to someone who meets the impossibly low standards of the GOP Senate.

Hypothesis: on US government servers there's thousands of Anthropic wargaming outputs and a bunch of them (based on scraped analyses from experts) basically say all this would happen, and the Trump admin can't figure out how to just delete them all, hence rushing to rip the whole system out.

Paul Verhoeven's work might be the closest to a true "Nexus Torment." A third of Silicon Valley wants to run a slave colony on Mars, a third wants to be CEO of OCP, and the rest want to do both.

Yeah, it's possible the new Supreme Leader chooses a strategy of "feign a truce to stop the attacks so we can regroup and rebuild"... but that would absolutely not be a "victory" of any sort whatsoever. It would be a worse situation than before.

It's brainless but also: LOL, no, Marc Andreessen absolutely does not spend time "reading old books," he asks AI to summarize what Plato and Machiavelli would think of some tweet he wants to post and it says "they'd love it!"

a number of thoughts here:
- oh my god he admit it
- what happened to the reactionary group chat?!
- commonality here is that none of these inputs will offend their sensibilities by challenging their worldview one bit
- i expect a full pivot from this class to 'filter bubbles are great, actually'

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

This is not trueβ€”driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that β€œevery American gets”

As a historical aside, in WWII, the massive effort to bomb German aircraft production wasn't nearly as effective as hoped; Germany produced more planes in 1944 than in '42 & '43 combined.

Germany's problem wasn't building the planes, it was those planes getting shot down by the Allies.

This analysis seems *modestly* more pessimistic than current reports suggest (e.g., Iran hasn't disabled all five THAADs) but the asymmetry is real. Iran can likely keep SoH closed with cheap drones for months, no matter what we do, and nothing could re-open it other than a collapse of the IRGC.

Yes this is a great shot but I have to hand it to Norway for their stoicism and grace, if my opponent in any competition of any sort accomplished something like this I would be screaming curse words that would be audible on every single microphone within 100 yards.

Congratulations, if you've ever made a BOFA DEEZ NUTS joke, you probably also had a better understanding of how Trump would impact the economy than Bank of America's actual head of US Equity & Quantitative Strategy.
