Most of you are too young to remember the Nayirah testimony
In August 1990, Iraq invaded the neighboring country of Kuwait. The United States and its allies had to decide whether to send military forces to push Iraq out. American public opinion was divided and the congressional vote to authorize force was not certain. On October 10, 1990, …

In 1990, a teenage girl told Congress she watched Iraqi soldiers remove babies from incubators in Kuwait and leave them to die. The story helped build support for the Gulf War. She was the Kuwaiti ambassador’s daughter, and the whole appearance had been arranged by a private PR firm hired by Kuwait.

A lot of specific Americans are dancing on Eric’s grave right now.
In Swalwell v. Trump, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia considered whether former President Donald Trump is entitled to absolute presidential immunity from damages liability for allegedly inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol. www.theusconstitution.org/litigatio…

What saving pagan babies looks like in 2026
When my mom was in Catholic girls school they had little boxes in church: donate your coins to save the pagan babies. Actual boxes. Printed label. Handed to eight-year-olds as a virtue exercise. That’s not a metaphor. That’s the ideology made physical. Nobody defends …

Noblesse oblige used to be recognized as the racist paternalism it is. Secularize it, rebrand it as allyship, and suddenly it’s a virtue. Same skeleton. The pagan babies just got older.

Virginia votes April 21 on whether to let the legislature redraw congressional maps mid-decade. The ballot language sounds tidy. The actual question is whether you fight partisan gerrymandering by doing it back. I voted no.

This is huge.

Painfully beautifully written and read. Lovely lilt.

You can always hack and adapt your tools to best work with your process. This is kludgy. I superglued the chopped top onto the shaft of the aluminum Bic.

I simply have always called this moral adaptation to local cultures. Seems simple & self-evident to me.

The Second Amendment doesn't grant you the right to bear arms. It prohibits the government from infringing on a right you already had. That's not a technicality—that's the entire point.
Here’s what the “your gun right is imaginary” crowd consistently gets wrong: they treat the Second Amendment as if it’s a permission slip. As if Congress sat down, invented a right out of nothing, and handed it to you. That’s not what the Bill of …

I love paranoid hyperbole. As if Liberty and Freedom weren’t equally compromised during COVID and under Biden as well. And under Obama. That’s exactly why the kaiju Donald J Trump rose from the ocean. It’s a “freedom from” versus “freedom to” dichotomy.

I had a full double-take. I was sure New York had moved the age of consent to 18, and finding out it’s still 17 scrambled my wiring. Then I remembered I grew up in Hawaii, where it was 14 until 2001 and is now 16, and suddenly my sense of what’s “normal” felt completely unreliable.

Nobody convinced society of anything. Competition over collaboration is emergent—it bubbles up, not down. The moment trust becomes the norm, exploitation attacks it. The pickpocket and the Ponzi schemer are the same person at different zoom levels. It’s a Mandelbrot.

They’re so committed to the Hitler bit they won’t even take the free Napoleon joke. It’s right there. Nobody pivoted.
