This is a leap. Few Americans understand what the filibuster is, and yet it remains. The politics of court packing would be *significantly* more fraught. FDR retained unified control of government after a historic landslide election and still failed to pack the court! This is a very weak argument!

After watching Houston fans rev Luka up for 48 minutes, and then witnessing him hit a game winner, these folks sitting courtside continued to talk shit lol

Josh Cain@joshcain· Mar 13

I'm sorry but give me a fucking break

Josh Cain@joshcain· Mar 13

this is hilarious, like what are we talking about

this pitch was a ball by 0.5". telling an ump live he is wrong, then showing him how wrong he was, is incredible television

CB was so mad lol, grown men being upset over a game is funny

MAGA sowing, MAGA reaping

In the Ridley Scott film "Kingdom of Heaven" the Crusaders march to Hattin, where they will surely defeat Saladin

What I'm hearing is to learn to code in 2026 you have to teach a naughty chaos child inside the computer to learn to code by writing soothing or scathing messages to him to get him to do what you want

You know Prof Jiang is cooking with gas when he starts underlining words like "FOOD"

This is a screenshot of Professor Jiang, the fella who is getting a lot of credit for predicting maybe two years ago that Trump would return and declare war on Iran, as he does another lecture for us all about why America is goung to lose this one (it's because our allies like Qatar and Bahrain import all their damn food through the straight of hormuz which the war has now closed)

Josh Cain@joshcain· Feb 21

is this man for real lol

just Stephen A complaining about load management in the NBA versus college in which there is no load management (they play 30 games in a season lol)

Josh Cain@joshcain· Feb 17

Huh pretty interesting

NYT: Would you prefer a candidate who IDs as progressive or a candidate who IDs as moderate

Dems in the survey group: 13 raise hands for progressive, 0 raise hands for moderate

Josh Cain@joshcain· Feb 12

I know it's tough out there for daily journos but if you are a reporter in Los Angeles joining the California Post during their current bizarre hiring spree here, you are supporting Rupert Murdoch vilifying, scapegoating and killing trans people. I don't really see a way around that for you.

"Jesse Van Rootselaar, 18, ID’d as transgender ex-student behind Tumbler Ridge mass shooting" replace transgender in this headline with any other possible identifier and imagine how you'd feel about that, like could you look yourself in the mirror and feel OK about working at a place that does this stuff

I was not prepared to learn what the new Chris Pratt movie is about

Via Wikipedia: In a futuristic Los Angeles with crime on the rise, the Mercy Capital Court uses AI judges to put defendants on trial for violent crimes. The AI judges gives the defendants all available resources to find and provide all the evidence needed and are given 90 minutes to prove their innocence, or be executed via a sonic blast.

Me: "wow"

*What is the fucking point of a story like this Nothing about this story clarifies or explains. The first sentence is wrong! The basic facts ARE in dispute! Trump said the woman ran over the agent!! www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u... *the point is to CYA. It's pure cowardice.

"One video of a fatal ICE shooting, two opposite views" the dumbass Grey Lady opined about the obvious lies being spread about the killing of a Minneapolis woman

"The basic sequence of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis on Wednesday is not in dispute: A Honda Pilot reversed, then moved forward; an ICE agent was close to the vehicle; the agent fired shots. A 37-year-old woman was killed" the shitheads at NYT said

"But that sequence has been interpreted in radically different ways. Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him? Was he positioned in front of the vehicle or to the side? Did he have a genuine, reasonable fear for his life in that moment, or did he create the very danger he then used lethal force to escape?" the deranged and faltering journalism outlet attempted to argue.

The jury in that case was about evenly split between men and women. One I spoke to after said the deliberation was extremely frustrating; most of the men refused to convict the officer of murder.

Gonzalez’s attorneys, on the other hand, asked the jury to consider what the school officer would have perceived in the limited amount of time he had to react.

“This didn’t happen in slow motion,” said Michael Schwartz, the lead attorney defending Gonzalez, during his closing arguments last week. “Life doesn’t happen in slow motion.”

Immediately after the hearing Tuesday, some jurors said Schwartz convinced others on the jury that Gonzalez was still reacting to the car pushing forward and screeching its tires, even as he got out of the way, when he fired the fatal shot at Rodriguez.

“There were still certain people holding on to this idea of self-defense,” said one juror, who asked not to be identified due to the sensitivity of the case.

The juror said the five who voted not guilty on second-degree murder were all men. The juror said the seven who voted for guilt were six women and one man.

The juror, a woman, said Gonzalez’s guilt on the murder charge was clear to her.

“Absolutely,” she said. “Without a shadow of a doubt in my mind.”

Jurors appeared closer to finding Gonzalez guilty of voluntary manslaughter, the lesser charge available to them if they reached a unanimous not-guilty verdict on the second-degree murder charge.

Incredible things are happening

JD Vance has lower favorability than Amdrew Tate

They should use this part of the Bari memo to teach journalism students about false balance

"Of the 252 Venezuelans sent to CECOT, we say nearly half have no criminal histories. In other words, more than half do have criminal histories." Big brain, good edits, journalism saved

big fan of the wikipedia editor maintaining the Dylan Byers controversies list

On November 21, 2017, Byers posted a tweet on his account implying that the recent sexual harassment scandals in media and entertainment were draining those industries of talent. The tweet was later deleted.

In 2012, Byers drew scrutiny when he reported in Politico that US President Barack Obama's girlfriend in Dreams from My Father was a composite character, which was already acknowledged by Obama in the book. Politico issued an extensive correction at the top of the original article.

In the aftermath of the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing, Byers amplified, via a tweet, a false conspiracy made by Redditors claiming that the second suspect was Sunil Tripathi, who in fact had died by suicide due to depression prior to the marathon.

You know what I think Isaac Chotiner is right to be suspicious of the Semafor article credulously arguing that it's fine for the Saudis to be real life Bene Gesserit

From the Semafor op ed Chotiner said was a little suspicious:

"There’s a recurring trap in how we analyze Saudi Arabia’s monarchs: focusing on too narrow a timeframe. Nowhere is that clearer than in the debate over Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi will likely follow him forever in the Western press, as was evident during his Washington visit last week. But that’s not the metric by which his subjects will judge a reign that could stretch across half a century." LOL uh ok so should we not care MBS killed a guy

oUr pLaNs aRe MeAsUreD iN CenTUrieS lmao ok weirdo

Give the monkey guy a cigar to chomp on and some space Jimi Hendrix to listen to while laying down covering fire with his laser M60 machine gun, and Rogue One would be a masterpiece
