Reporter: What did you mean by the new world order? Carney: The architecture, the multilateral system is being eroded—undercut. The question is what gets built in its place...

Sitting next to a couple obvs on their first date, late 20s, and he won’t stop talking about “Airplane” (1980), she’s clearly not interested, so he’s doing bits from Airplane to see if THAT breaks the ice. Just did “surely you can’t be serious…” I have to admit his game is fire.

Got to say i'm increasingly sympathetic to Tooze's position on this. The task, as someone or other once said, is to be "as radical as reality itself". Olympian detachment makes that awfully hard!

Reminder: Any serious discussion of the “rule of law” in recent years should end in Vermeule delenda est

This is incredible, an Army doctor who treated survivors of 9/11, was the doctor who saved Tammy Duckworth’s life in Iraq, then went to Gaza on multiple medical missions and refused to be evacuated amid siege and assault — is now running for Congress in New Jersey. He doesn’t

Fascism is here. Great reporting by PBS.

Supposedly bisexual but probably gay British fashion, portrait & war photographer, interior & costume designer Cecil Beaton was BOTD in 1904 & died in 1980 at 76. A flamboyant artist, he described himself as a "terrible homosexualist" who tried not to be. Photos by Beaton

Is that Josh Hawley?

So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨). At least it’s online. Reshare. https://t.co/DXins5vks7

He wants laws than protect his in-groups but does not bind them. And laws that bind the out-groups but do not protect them. His book is long-winded but it basically boils down to that in the end. If ever you needed an example of ideological affirmative action.

Worms like Vermeule want to rule over you without limit. They think you are undeserving of the protections of liberal democracy. Say that he should get fired from Harvard for the common good? Terroristic threat!

Absolutely depraved coward. His life’s work is trying to abrogate my rights in liberal democratic society. Did he think that the common good might not one day rely on taking his rights away?

For the common good, you must go.

The split second decision did nothing to stop the car or decrease his chances of being harmed. It did not contribute to his self-defense. It was a useless action that killed her. If he feared for his life, it’s because he egregiously misjudged the threat. That’s his fault.

The saddest part is always the retreat to Grok, an LLM. My guy, we all convinced grok to estimate how many homeless people it’d kill to save Elon like last month. Nobody with a functioning prefrontal cortex thinks for a second that thing is a reliable arbiter.

Right-wingers do this all the time where they pretend to be stupid instead of having to argue with what you said. Or in this case, to escape having to answer a question about JD’s deep personal hypocrisy.

Guy whose whole career is geared toward demolishing our way of life for some vaguely defined concept of common good

Minnesota Public Radio reported this morning that Good "had just dropped off her 6-year-old son at school Wednesday and was driving home" -- if they are right and she wasn't there as an activist, she's been shamefully maligned by her government after it killed her.

It might seem petty or useless to insult aesthetics, but it genuinely gets to them. Far more than pointing out their rampant hypocrisy or ignorance, because more than anything they want to be adored, they want to feel “cool” And it’s crushing for them to hear they’re not
