Two cheers for DOGE. It turns out that Washington spends our money on some very, very stupid things.
If you missed the news yesterday, the 538 at Disney era is over. Mostly, I just want to express my sympathy for the staff, which was full of highly conscientious people. Then there’s some discussion here about our short- and long-term plans for the newsletter. I hope the spirit of 538 lives on between Silver Bulletin and other news outlets.
About those “transgender mice”. Yes, it turns out it isn’t a lie. They have been spending millions to test the effect of cross-sex hormones on mice.
Now ask yourself one question: how many medical experiments are carried out on humans before they have even been tested on mice? Now remember the humans are CHILDREN. This is the most grotesq…

Listen to This Article - Farewell to Volodymyr Zelensky, the GEICO Lizard of the New World Order
Thanking God that the era of mandatory applause for neoliberal mascots is finally over. Can Greta Thunberg come to the White House next?
Great discussions

Awwwww…….Poor Sam Alito is “stunned” that the Supreme Court actually acted like a co-equal branch of government for a change, ruling against Trump/DOGE freezing already allotted USAID funds. Or maybe he’s just pissed because he works for the executive branch. In any case, this has the makings of a true constitutional crisis (in his fever…
This is a great essay on Zelenskyy in the Oval

The FIRE rankings are based on the largest survey ever conducted of student opinion on the free speech atmosphere on their campuses. It also factors in the largest database ever assembled of professor cancellations, student cancellations, campus speech codes, deplatformings, and other threats to campus expression.

Only a person without any character strengths would find empathy to be a weakness. This is about running. This is not about running.

How did the MAGA online right start comparing Ukraine soldiers to “literal Nazis?”
Douglas Murray argues it is because “Biden, Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, and every other hated left-wing ‘globalist’ was shimmying up to Zelensky.” thefp.pub/41GVdcW

Did you see Saturday Night Live’s viral CouplaBeers skit?
It’s being called “the best SNL skit in 20 years.”
Oddly enough, the CouplaBeers skits gets more right about addiction and bad habits than millions of dollars of neuroscience research ever has.
Watch the skit in the linked post.
It’s fun to watch JD Vance stand up every 30 seconds or so and applaud like a trained chimp. He’s not terribly smart, but he is very nimble! But if anyone’s seen Vance’s soul, please report it to the lost’and’found. He needs something to resell after already selling his ass to Trump/Peter Thiel.
I do feel sorry for Elon, though, having to sit through this boring speech. He could be doing something more useful right now, like firing more food safety inspectors or siring more illegitimate children. What a waste.

The ‘Stop WOKE Act’ was big news. California DEI should have been too.
The case of California Community Colleges’ DEI rules were just as bad for free speech and academic freedom, but too few people know about it.

DEAR MAGA: All l can say is...this was all in Project 2025 but y'all don't read
I told and sent information to my family members. As much as I could and I sent a lot and told them a lot. But they didn’t want to listen or read the facts I sent them. They just wanted cheaper eggs. Lost 6 members to the cult and don’t talk to them. I have a sister and her husband that I can still communicate with because they know the truth. So I guess it’s the 3 of us (my husband died or else it would be 4) that don’t communicate with the cult 6. Ignorance is bliss is what I believe and thos…
Or a project 2025 because these people need to GTFO of the white house. Now. They are traitors and they need to be in prison.
They’re not reading this either
Reading 900+ pages was too intimidating to them.
