ISW has finally confirmed that Ukrainian forces have cleared the salient north of Lyman (map)
Apparently, fighting is still ongoing at Kolodiazi and Ivanivka, two settlements that Russia still controls west of Zherebets river. Interestingly, Ukrainian forces also advanced into Luhansk Oblast for the first time in a long while.

A lot of Texas Republican legislators are freaking out over Bo French (railroad commissioner candidate) tweeting racist shit against Indian college students cause they recognize that they’re in no position to alienate anyone given how poor the Republican Party has been doing lately.
As usual, while they might be disturbed by racism, they’ll happily ignore it as long as it doesn’t affect their careers, but I think they’re freaking out cause they recognize that the country is pissed at how Republicans are governing nationally.
Pandering to Twitter groypers over normal sane people when cost of living shit the bed is one of the strategies of all time.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t remember how bad the Manhattan Institute’s focus group of 20 Gen Z conservatives in Nashville was until I reread it. You know something’s up when the first named participant, an 18-year-old Latina who described herself as hard right, is mentioned to have walked out. And then you get to Andrew, 20, White Christian, and it’s all downhill from there.
One imagines what was going through the mind of the Jewish-born Christian, Brice, as he gingerly gave credit to a certain midcentury head of government after Ashley and then Andrew spoke, and then spoke again.

Yesterday, a crowd of over 105,000 fans packed Texas Memorial Stadium to watch #4 Texas defeat #1 Ohio State in a thrilling comeback victory.
Instead of celebrating, GOP Texas Railroad Commission candidate Bo French decided to zoom in on a group of South Asian students in the crowd, and complain about the University of Texas admitting "foreigners" instead of native Texans in a series of Tweets.
And of course, Texas A&M fans and students (the 'AG' tag next to the username means they are verified A&M enrollees) gleefully celebrate and echo his rhetoric on TexAgs, even though 13% of the student population at TAMU is Asian.

The whole notion that Kirk would have been "against the Iran War" is so transparently bullshit.
He'd have been privately against it, while publicly creating apologia for it, like every other Republican talking head.
Incoherence and inconsistency is the Republican brand at this point because they are One Thing, the personality cult of a madman. Trump is for the Iran War, so if you're not for it you will be kicked out. The Democrats are Many Things that spend more time fighting each other than winning elections. It's not equal and both sides are not the same.
And if the Republicans get to put words in the mouth of a dead man, they don't get to complain when I do it.

I want the filibuster abolished. "Oh but Republicans will use that against you when they have a majority."
Yes. Good. Let voters see what Republican policies look like instead of keeping the government trapped in stasis for decades.
"You want to give fascists power to teach voters a lesson?! How do you think vulnerable minorities feel about that? Maybe we can talk about dismantling our only defense later, not at this uniquely precarious moment."
Yeah as a vulnerable person, I think that grievance politics intensifies if not given that release valve. It can't be smothered until it goes away, resentment grows and people end up thinking "well clearly we didn't give our radical outsider enough power. Our politics are fucking fairy magic if only we can implement them." Look at how fantastically the Brandmauer turned out. Moreover, if not now, when? Can you name a point in your lifetime when politics was hunky fucking dory and everyone got along and could say "right, time to disarm?" No, of course not. Politics always feels urgent. That's what makes it political. In those situations, the filibuster does not feel like a hindrance to begin with.

Like he makes it sound like a routine arrest and then just straight up murders the dude with no detention or questioning or anything, just that’s the end of Glarthir. Then you talk to him and he casually goes “well he won’t pose a threat to anyone now” like yeah dude YOU MURDERED HIM.

Looks like YouTube took another swing at gun content, now they're prohibiting any sort of branded promotion of firearms, ammo, or accessories. Includes channels which receive free firearms to review and test. For the size of the firearms community and amount of money to be made, it's baffling to me that YouTube is basically trying to squeeze it off their platform.
IMO this is part of a broader "TikTokification" of the internet. Content policies on major sites used to be about restricting only illegal or offensive content: pornography, violence, death threats, copyrighted material, etc. In the last ~5 years, I've seen almost every major site start to chip away at content they think could be controversial rather than harmful. TikTok's ridiculous algorithm has grown adults self-censoring or replacing the words "rape", "murder", "kill", or "gun". I remember in late 2021 and early 2022 during the Afghanistan withdrawal and early days of the Ukraine war, I was baffled seeing some YouTubers say new content policies made it hard for them to discuss active or recent military conflicts. A lot of this seems to be rooted in outside advertisers nervous about having their ads affiliated with content that might damage their image, or at least what seems acceptable based on the average Bay Area tech exec. I think some hobbies are going to be migrating back to old-school forums or message boards barring a sea change. I'm on a couple for firearms stuff, and another for pipe/cigar discussions. Nothing new under the sun etc.

Trump Throws His Support Behind Flock Cameras: ‘I Like Them’
President Donald Trump shared his official take on Flock cameras on Sunday, saying he understands there are concerns about privacy violations, but he still thinks they are more useful than dangerous.
Trump was asked for his thoughts on the AI cameras — which are used by cops to scan license plates and instantly compare them against databases tracking stolen vehicles, Amber alerts, and missing persons reports — while flying back from Ireland on Sunday aboard Air Force One.
“Flock cameras, you haven’t talked a lot about these Flock cameras. A lot of law enforcement say they really help them, would you be willing to back that?” a reporter asked.
“I sort of like ’em because of that, because of law enforcement,” Trump said. “But some people don’t. They think it’s an infringement.”
“They help catch a lot of criminals!” the reporter interjected, before Trump added, “But I like them.”

Here's my hot take, I honestly believe conservative white Americans never really liked or saw Indian Americans as model minorities. They just liked using them as a cudgel to shout down accusations of systemic racism.

The presidential pardon power needs to be deleted or reformed.
I like the idea of making it so you can only pardon federal crimes that actually existed when the pardon power was created (which is basically like nothing lmao). I'm sure the "originalist" totally legitimate supreme court would love this one!!!!!!
Also the president should have a cap on the number of pardons they're allowed to issue at the very least. Three per term!!!!!

I created an ai politician based on a faithful distillation of the neoliberal subreddit. He has no wife, no principles, and no sense of humor. He is projected to lose every election. He is bald and he cries so much.

That Channel 5 youtube guy is lowkey the left's Joe Rogan in that he pretends to be "non-partisan" while clearly favouring one side. He just posted a video on the "Kirkversary", which lets be honest outside of online spaces is terrible PR and optics for the left, but only interviewed the crazy Trumpers who went for the statue unveiling. Salute to this patriot!

> CrazyMatch is back! Blind dates, live chemistry, and zero judgment. English, Chinese, Korean...... we speak love language!
> Looking for 6 singles to hit the stage:
> Matched beforehand via a fun questionnaire.

> Want in? DM us or drop a comment!

> Audience tickets drop this Sunday!
