@mattyglesias I disaprove of the speed limit and think they should have to enforce it without Orwellian measures.

The city needs to physically seize these cars and get them off the road.

D.C.’s speed cameras are catching super violators. Most have Va. and Md. tags. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/…

@VecchTweets @mattyglesias 25 MPH is appropriate in a densely populated city because it reduces the fatality rate when pedestrians are hit

@mattyglesias One other thing 25 miles per hour everywhere is ridiculous. They might as well ban the combustion engine and make everyone ride horses.

The politicians and generals lost the Vietnam War. Maybe it was just unwinnable and no combination of strategies when the U.S. took over from the French could have saved South Vietnam. But that our vets who came back were so maligned remains a disgrace.

The way many of these men were treated when they returned home after, in the vast majority of cases, serving and sacrificing honorably was an abject disgrace - a permanent stain on our country.

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act, signed in 2017, designates March 29 of each year as a day of commemoration to pay tribute to the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and their families. We honor them at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall.

Vietnam today remains a one-party authoritarian police state with no independent judiciary, no meaningful speech or press freedoms, and no accountable constitutional gov’t subject to free elections. It followed the PRC/Deng path of economic liberalization without political reform. So, Vietnam is the rule rather than the exception when it comes to socialist authoritarian states (in fact, there have not been exceptions).
So in remembering the service and sacrifice of our Vietnam War veterans, one wonders what would have happened had our private commitments to South Vietnam made as part of the 1973 Paris Peace Accords process been kept and South Vietnam hadn’t fallen in 1975, would it have joined Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea in becoming a prosperous parliamentary democracy? I think more than likely, and perhaps with mass popular buy-in.

One of the most comprehensively shameful episodes of Western media history is that Jones is almost entirely forgotten, while Duranty didn't simply win but was (posthumously) allowed to keep his Pulitzer.

On this day in 1933, Welsh journalist Gareth Jones published a report revealing the existence of Moscow's intentional famine inflicted on the people of Ukraine in 1932–1933.

We can eliminate cervical cancer (and decrease many other cancers like oral cancers) with the HPV vaccine.
Luddites don't want to see that future.

Good morning all on #VietnamVeteransDay From 1962-1975, approx 61,000 Australians served in the Vietnam War (521 killed in action and over 3000 wounded in action).

Served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. A Purple Heart for each war. One Silver Star earned in WWII, two in Korea, and one posthumously in Vietnam (where he deployed after his youngest son, who he’d hoped to replace and keep stateside). A true American hero. We should name cities after people like this.

Offering euthanasia to depressed people is state-sponsored murder. There is no ambiguity. It is murder.

There are a faor number of studies showing what happens when cameras go up (mild but not amazing benefits), but I don't know of any looking at what happens when they come down.
Garry Tan@garrytan
After Richmond disabled its Flock cameras to "protect immigrants," car thefts jumped 33%. Immigrant shopkeepers begged to bring them back. Last week their city council finally listened. Opposing safety cameras is a luxury belief. gli.st/nfolm33i

People, mostly white people, really advocated for this. They wanted to get rid of gunshot detection so people, mostly black people, could get shot and die because police response based on gunshot detection, said the white people, is racist.
CWBChicago@CWBChicago
A 17-year-old boy was found lying dead in a Northwest Side street overnight. A drive-by gunman killed him. Nobody called 911 about the shooting. The mayor disconnected the local ShotSpotters in 2024. He’s Brandon Body #80. cwbchicago.com/2026/03/boy-fo…

Vladimir (2026) 8 episodes
Starring Rachel Weisz, Leo Woodall, John Slattery
I thoroughly enjoyed this comedy drama which I binged in one evening. Best performance from Weisz in years, Woodall definitely showing why he is one of the hot young stars of the moment, Slattery ... 1/2

Apparently there’s a phenomenon on 𝕏 right now where if you post a picture of a steak you made, kind Japanese people will comment on it and tell you how amazing it looks.
Let’s test it out: I could use the self esteem boost.

@cdrsalamander One of the benefits of Catholicism is that we don't have much improv during mass.

To each their own, etc...but after this...how exactly do you compose yourself when you run into the pew walker or pulpit stomper at the local Dollar General or Piggly Wiggly?
I mean, I love teasing left wing Catholics with their liturgical dancing...but...well...to each their own, I guess.
Protestia@Protestia
This is some of the finest pew walking and pulpit stomping we've ever seen. 🤌🤌🤌

At root, western liberalism sees humans as cost centres that exist to be managed and eliminated if too expensive… euthanasia is branded as “freedom” but is social eugenics in the guise of “compassion”
Visegrád 24@visegrad24
🇪🇸 25-year-old Noelia Castillo Ramos has been euthanized She suffered from borderline personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder The European Court of Human Rights found no obstacles and ruled that she had the right to die, despite her father’s efforts to save her.
