Thanks for the link. In context I don’t think there’s much to take issue with here—“affirmative action should be based on socioeconomic status rather than race” is a solidly mainstream view.

ồiIn 1960 there were only 12 blacks at Princeton, Harvard and Yale combined.
That was a problem, race-based affirmative action and DE&l made a lot of sense. This year 51 per cent of Harvard's freshman class is non-white. The problem is 70 per cent of those come from dual-income, upper-income homes.
"We advantage women. Women have taken a tremendous amount of shit, they have made less, they deserve some advantage. Well, what about non-whites, right? They've consistently gotten a raw deal. What about the gay people? We persecuted gay people. What about Japanese? We interned them in camps.
"Where it's gotten to is now DE&l offices in affirmative action roles at corporations and universities are now advantaging 76 per cent of the populace and we are damaging 76 per cent of the populace. You're not advantaging anybody, you're discriminating against the 24 per cent.
"We've ended up in a weird spot where the snake is eating its own tail, and we have a certain amount of reverse racism, and these departments can't be questioned or you're called a racistạ

JFC this is so fucking grim on so many levels 🤦🏼‍♂️

What do we know about Covid's origins?
"It seems now it's more and more emerging theory that that would have come from the lab," Senator John Fetterman, Democrat of Pennsylvania, said at the hearing on Wednesday. He was speaking for many Americans: In a 2023 poll, two-thirds of respondents said they believed that the virus definitely or probably originated in a lab.

Rare miss from @gruber.foo here…this is a classic is-ought fallacy—Sanders said the tariffs WILL raise prices, not that they SHOULD raise prices or that corporations are justified in doing so. daringfireball.net/2026/06/bern...

But when the "something happens was Trump's tariffs, Sanders argued that (emphasis added)
"Trump's across-the-board tariffs are not the way to do it. We do not need a blanket and arbitrary sales tax on imported goods which will raise prices on products that the American people desperately need." And again: "Trump's blanket tariffs will just raise prices for American consumers and hurt our relationships with allies, undermining our global position." Not "might" raise prices. "Will" raise prices.

Ew. 🤢

As Oliver Darcy is reporting, Weiss, who

counts Barbaro as "a friend and admirer," even

floated his name earlier this year as a

potential addition to "CBS Mornings." Now

she's leveraging that relationship for what

amounts to a high-stakes PR intervention.

Wild that @nytimes.com is parroting Fuckface's revisionist history—the Obama admin literally razed the old Reflecting Pool and built the current Pool from the bedrock up, they didn't "spen[d] more than $35 million trying to solve problems" with the Pool. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/u...

Between 2010 and 2012, the Obama administration spent more than $35 million trying to solve problems with the Reflecting Pool. The project failed. The pool was matted with green algae within a month of its reopening. It still leaks 16 million gallons of water a
year, which the National Park Service must pay to replace.

…what? 🤨

Stanford has always been a haven for aspiring techies, but recent events have taken the school into uncharted territory. A.I. is everything. We talk about it at the dining halls and in history classes, on dates and while smoking with friends, at the gym and in communal dorm bathrooms. Nearly all of higher education has been overtaken by this technology, and Stanford is a case study in how far it can go. For the past four years, my classmates and I have been the subjects of a high-stakes experiment.

As if the headline and the fact this bullshit was published at all weren’t outrageous enough…

The potential savings estimated by the Trump administration would be substantial as
Americans spent $467 billion on prescription drugs in 2024, according to the most recent government data available. The analysis is premised on the idea that foreign countries would also pay more for their prescription drugs, which would diversify drugmakers' sources of revenue and preserve their ability to innovate with new treatments.

I'm sure it's been used before, but as I said it's so uncommon as to be *effectively* nonexistent in any large dataset, especially as compared to "pees sitting down."

In an article chock-full of wild quotes, this one really stands out—this man apparently believes that the WHO and the Paris Agreement accounted for “A LOT OF OUR BUDGET” 😑 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

John, 62, Md., white, Republican, packaging specialist He did initiate the ending of the penny, silly as that is. And he initiated getting us out of the World Health Organization and the Paris climate agreement. Two positive things, I guess, if you really look at it on the whole. I mean, that was accounting for a lot of our budget money.

Surety, was caught on hidden camera casually revealing sensitive information to a stranger in a public restaurant. Andrew Hugg, Chief of Chemical Nuclear Surety, in charge of nuclear and chemical safety was caught on hidden camera releasing information regarding the U.S. Nuclear Information. He claims the U.S. still possesses nerve agents and says a U.S. Army chemist recently died from exposure.
He also acknowledges U.S. airstrikes have killed children in Iran, calling it "collateral damage," and revealed to the journalist how nuclear launch decisions are made in real time.
Hugg described how the United States could assassinate Iran's next leader if he "doesn't change," while admitting the U.S. has no plans to use nuclear weapons: "We're not going to nuke anybody."
All of this was casually revealed to an undercover journalist in a restaurant. This raises serious questions about this official's judgment, security, and what's really happening behind closed doors.
We have reached out to the Pentagon and U.S.
Army for comment and they are working on a response.

After a quick read, the suit will probably be tossed for failure to allege actual malice. And it's actually decently drafted but this error is notable—"feable" isn't a word, meaning the attorney who wrote it must think that's actually how you spell "feeble." 😂

27. Even after stealth-editing their headline over the weekend, in a feable attempt to reduce the appearance of partisan animus, Defendants have doubled down on their knowingly false claims in an X post, made this very morning in the pre-dawn hours that reads: Kash Patel's colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking, Sarah Fitzpatrick reports. More than vo dozen people she spoke with described his management failures
nd conduct that could harm national security.

Do they think sending even more packages will somehow get them to their destination? 🤨

The community packaged and sent 18 boxes to the sailor to share with his shipmates. She sent another four boxes on April 15.
"I put out the announcement that they were in need of love and nourishment," she said.
"Within two days, I had 18 boxes of stuff."
Sending the boxes wasn't cheap - at least $540
for shipping alone, she said.
Six of the packages reached Tokyo on April 14, according to Postal Service tracking. They have yet to reach their destination.

I don't expect any better from Isgur, but I love this attempt at equivalency between the CA AG filing suits in a major district with 25+ judges to the TX AG filing suit in a random bumfuck district just so it's heard by one particular far-right looney toon.

The California attorney general files nearly all of his lawsuits in the Northern District of California, where he is currently guaranteed to get a judge nominated by a Democratic president. The Texas Attorney General files his lawsuits in single-judge divisions in cities like Amarillo where he is guaranteed to get that precise judge.

Attack Newsom for his actual failings and gimme a break with this performative bullshit 🙄

A photo of then-SF mayor Gavin Newsom marrying a same-sex couple in 2008:

Defying state and federal law, then San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, in office just over one month, orders the city clerk to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. So begins, the "Winter of Love."

Gotta hand it to @cnbc.com, this is excellent bracket usage 👌🏻

The two failed to reach an agreement, and now, the dispute will be settled in
court. "Everyone, including Anthropic, agrees that the Department of [Defense] is free to stop using Claude and look for a more permissive AI vendor," Lin said during the hearing Tuesday. "I don't see that as being what this case is about. I see the question in this case as being a very different one, which is whether the
government violated the law."

That's literally the entire debate here. I think this proposal is the most realistic.

Recommendation: Build secure non-custodial family residential facilities to process families encountered at the border. These facilities will be campus like settings where parents and children are treated in a humane and dignified manner during an expedited immigration process. At these facilities, families will have freedom of movement and access to educational and recreational spaces as they undergo a thorough asylum screening by trained professionals
in less than 3 weeks.

And really case in point here:

help of interpreters). "The inspector would verify the passenger manifest by rereading the information provided," Moreno says. "If everything was OK, he would just make a little check mark by your name, but if your answers were bad, wrong or suspicious, or if secret information had arrived about you previous to your arrival, your name was marked with an X' and you were told you would be detained."
"Detention meant you could be held overnight, and you would sleep in dormitory rooms and you would be fed three meals a day in the immigrants' dining room," Moreno says.
"You would be forced to stay at Ellis Island until something was resolved, such as being wired money or being able to provide an address." He says serious detention cases, which were rare, could be designated for almost any reason but usually had something to do with questions of morality (if, for example, a woman was pregnant and unmarried) or criminal accusations. "They were looking for suspected anarchists, persons who were politically dangerous and contract laborers—immigrants who were being brought in to break strikes."

Jared (hard "d")@jaredhardd· Mar 24

Also I love when people only post screenshots bc 99% of the time—including here!—they’re hiding something. Exhibit A:

The doctors also had to know a few words of instruction in many languages. "Most of the immigrants were illiterate even in their own languages," Moreno notes. "And by 1907, the doctors had already developed a secret code system using a piece of chalk. They would mark the passenger's clothes with a letter of the alphabet: 'H' indicated heart trouble suspected;
'L' suspected lameness; 'X' suspected feeble-mindedness, and so on.
Those marked, Moreno says, were removed from the line and "taken across the room where you were locked in a pen, a cage, called the doctor's pen" until the doctors were free to continue further examinations or questioning.
