Tesla stock is down nearly 5 percent today, and over 62 percent over the course of 2022. Seems bad.

FWIW, $80,000 in liquor expenses seems like an entirely reasonable amount for an organization that is literally in the business of wining and dining rich donors to spend. I'm surprised this number isn't much higher.

I think that leaders of institutions should not make decisions by fantasizing about what they think their enemies have done to them, and then doing those things to their perceived enemies.

I feel like Elon has done Kevin McCarthy a huge favor by becoming Twitter’s permanent main character. Because otherwise Kevin stumbling around trying to find 218 votes to become speaker is exactly the sort of goofy slapstick comedy that this website feeds off of.

One thing that worries me is that, because Twitter has always been there, a lot of systems that would have been built to help people find information were not built over the last decade.
It will take time to build that infrastructure.

The Fifth Circuit, in a published opinion by Judge Oldham, has held that prisoners with *meritorious* constitutional objections to their conviction or sentence can’t prevail in post-conviction federal habeas petitions unless they show “factual innocence.”

There is literally no more annoying trend than the need of aging conservative men (and their spokesperson, Bari Weiss) to act like civilization depends on their ability to share racial slurs and pictures of Hunter Biden's penis online.

Say what you will about Trump’s lame NFT drop, but I don’t see a lot of reporters talking about Ron DeSantis appeal to the Republican primary’s crucial anti-vaxxer demographic anymore.

Justice is not advanced by taking a life, and the state should not be in the business of executing people— even if a terrible crime placed them in prison. Today I am commuting all death sentences in Oregon to life without parole, so we no longer have anyone facing execution here.

I think the fact that Ron DeSantis's position on mRNA vaccines is not "FUCK YEAH THEY ARE AWESOME!!!" is disqualifying for elected office.

As a middle-aged suburban professional who is concerned about inflation and the possibility of a recession, I would vote for a presidential candidate who supports mRNA vaccines over a candidate who opposes them.

Hypothetically speaking, suppose that Ron DeSantis launches his presidential race, and it is immediately clear to voters that he is a short, uncharismatic weirdo with a nasally voice and delusions of becoming an American Viktor Orban.

The primary difference between Trump and DeSantis is that Trump is a lazy narcissist who wasn't interested in doing the job of president, while DeSantis is a hard-working authoritarian with well-thought out plans to remake the United States in the image of Viktor Orban's Hungary. twitter.com/atrupar/status
