Can you imagine your child being shot in school, and having the worst day of your life *overshadowed* by a different shooting, whose aftermath somehow will be leveraged to make it more likely more shootings will occur in the future?

This is critical. The idea that the IDF, in this context, under this leadership, is meticulously trying to avoid harming journalists and any such deaths are regrettable and unavoidable accidents is completely implausible.

I wrote this after Uvalde, but really it applies to any school shooting.

Old and busted: "No Kings". New hotness: Kings are somehow doing a better job imposing accountability for abuse than we are.

Here's a hell of a juxtaposition: "The Anti-Defamation League has removed entirely from the 'What We Do' page of its website a section called 'Protect Civil Rights.'" and An ADL spokesman described the eliminated material as "clearly no longer relevant or reflective of ADL’s work today.”

I have no beef with Arnold Creek, but I have to note that most of the “in the neighborhood” spots are actually in *my* neighborhood of West Portland Park, which is the next neighborhood west, and if you “may never have heard of” Arnold Creek, you definitely have never heard of West Portland Park.

If I were Susan Collins' press secretary, I'd fit her with a shock collar set to go off if she ever uttered the word "concerned".

Don’t let Trump v. Hawaii’s awful substance obscure its awful process. “Trump’s words can’t be used to determine what Trump means bc then we’d have to conclude he’s obviously violating the law and that’d be mean” is one of the dumbest and yet more expansive ways Trump is SCOTUS’ special little boy.

This is a really smart reader letter published by @joshtpm.bsky.social . It gets that Mamdani is not a cause but an effect (and frankly a better effect than many realistic alts), and that many have heads in the sand about what US Israel-politics can realistically look like after the past few years.

The true MVP is whoever is doing Fox’s musical cues for the between innings commercial break bumps.

Okay, that comebacker catch was definitely a troll.

Didn’t we go through this once already with “conservapedia”?

I'm staying at a hotel which has rugs in the elevator saying "good morning/afternoon/evening" depending on the time of day. And I've been *obsessing* over what time the changeovers are. Obviously, morning->afternoon happens at noon. But when does evening start? Or morning? Is it midnight or ~6AM?
