Why do the world’s most fortunate people pay among the least in taxes, relative to the amount of money they make? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Billionaires are experts at avoiding taxes. By banding together, countries can make them pay up.

The way these assholes have normalized Trump's insane fascism is infuriating. It's like reading "Stalin explains his plan to starve all Ukrainians" as if it were just a routine policy.

My daughter applies to college next year. Striking any of the schools calling cops on their own students from the list. I’d love for the schools that have handled this peacefully to be getting more attention

You don't get to say 'we regret that the protesters escalated' and 'community safety is our top priority' when the protesters are students who haven't hurt anybody and your response was calling in, like, a hundred unaccountable guys with guns

It’s pretty revealing that the press haven’t defended the students of *Columbia University* more vigorously. It’s the best journalism school in the English-speaking world. It gives out the Pulitzers. It has a legendarily good student body and faculty, the vast majority of whom oppose this.

Happy birthday to Terry Pratchett, who wrote the books so full of humanity and righteous fury at the injustices of the world that he made me a better person the world is poorer for having lost him, but what a legacy he left behind here is a thread I wrote about Discworld, and why it’s so special

It's International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day, everybody. (Not kidding. No idea who gets to make these things up but I'm not complaining.) Anyway, to celebrate here's a caramel crow photo I've never posted before. 🪶

A striking light brown American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) known as a caramel crow stands in the sand on a Seattle beach. 

This bird carries a pigment mutation responsible for its remarkable plumage.

I've listened to every oral argument by Elizabeth Prelogar as solicitor general, and I can confidently say she sounded legitimately infuriated defending the federal law guaranteeing emergency room care at every U.S. hospital.

This indignation may well be her finest moment.

The way she jostled with Justice Samuel Alito over the meaning of the law, which takes up about seven pages of the oral argument transcript, was nothing short of blood-boiling.

At one point, she more or less labeled his hypotheticals "senseless"—and got a big rise out of him ...

...when she noted that the premise of his questioning—suggesting that "unborn child" in the law takes precedence over "individuals" needing stabilization—was that women aren't people.

He didn't like that one bit. "Nobody's suggesting that!" he protested.

Incredible stuff.
