IT’S HARD TO DEFEND THE INDEFENSIBLE: Letterman defends Colbert—poorly: In an NYT interview, Santa David made a case that failed like a Colbert monologue.
IT’S A CRAZY THOUGHT, BUT JUST MAYBE.
Allowing Democrat justices to delay the redistricting decision for months solely for political reasons after allowing them to delay Dobbs—even after it was leaked and Roberts’ conservative colleagues were being targeted for assassination—might be a major reason why people think… https://t.co/4oJnGT7knm

CRUSH THEM: It’s Going to Be a Long, Very Hot Summer in Blue Cities. “Expect more riots. More political assassination attempts (hopefully thwarted). More attacks on Jews and synagogues. More of everything that is tearing our society apart.”
PROPAGANDA, INDEED:
In left-wing identity categorisations, the woman on the left is regarded as brown and the woman on the right a white European coloniser.
Imagine how much propaganda it has taken that this has become a widespread belief. They look like sisters. https://t.co/ZocsqoDJCH

IT’S CALLED MORONWORLD.
What? South Carolina has a black Senator. His name is Tim Scott. He’s a Republican. You can’t gerrymander Senate seats. What world do these people live in? pic.twitter.com/OTXcdNVJIj

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
THAT’S NICE. NOW EXPEL THEM, PROSECUTE THEM, AND SUE THEM.
BREAKING: The Cornell President just obliterated the extremist students who surrounded his car.
Rather than surrendering to them and apologizing, he directly called out their unlawful behavior.
This is what true leadership looks like. pic.twitter.com/8oE3ImnnAM

LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY: These 2 companies want to start removing space junk from orbit in 2027.
LIFE IN THE 21ST CENTURY. (ALSO THE 20TH AND 19TH). French nudist resort being overrun by international swingers who are banging on the beach.

IT’S MOSTLY ABOUT HATING TRUMP, AND AMERICA, I THINK: “I’m a professional liberal… and even I don’t think I could tell you what liberalism’s vision is, or who its leaders are, at this moment.”
At least that’s what I’m getting from the protests and, you know, the assassination attempts.
GROW UP, GWYNETH:
Super wealthy people are hilarious. https://t.co/Xp2914Rh2f

UPDATE (From Ed):
I know people are excited over these Spencer Pratt ads, which are great, but he’s polling at 15% while the two leftists (Bass and Ramen) poll at a combined 40% or so….
Los Angeles is lost. Get out while you still can without a retro tax chasing you until you die.

More (From Ed):
May 4th: Kamala Harris endorses Karen Bass, claims she's fixing homelessness crisis.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Will A.I. Make College Obsolete?
Americans already distrust institutions, including academia. More and more people may decide that its stamp of approval isn’t worth the cost. When the New Yorker of all establishment organs says this, it’s a sign: “If we agree that college primarily serves a credentialling process that stamps select young people as worthy of work, and, if we agree that A.I. helps to expose it as such, might we not conclude that, at some point, people will collectively stop paying into the system, or will start seeking out other, less expensive credentials?”
Emphasis added by me, but basically there in the original.
HEY, WHEN NAZI TOTENKOPF TATTOOS ARE COOL: Democratic UMich regents refuse comment on nominee who posted antisemitic slurs.
It’s actually kind of impressive how the Democrats have managed to go Commie and Nazi at the same time.
K12 IMPLOSION UPDATE:
NYT's @NickKristof to fellow progressives: "A black kid in Mississippi is 2.5 times as likely to be proficient in math & reading by 4th grade as a black kid in Calif. Do we need to look a little bit less at what the Trump Admin is doing … & look a little more in the mirror?" pic.twitter.com/I803loucRM

Too sensible to take hold.
“GOOD FAITH” AMONG THE CRITICS IS RARE.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Caine, USAF, made it quite clear on March 10 what the goals of the operation were.
1. Destroy Iranian missiles/drones
2. Destroy Iranian navy
3. Destroy Iranian military and industrial base
There are plenty of things out there to critique,… https://t.co/HWPybb070C
