I hate having to wish for Alito's good health and continued obstinacy through January 21, 2029.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was taken to a hospital after becoming ill last month at a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, according to people with knowledge of the March 20 incident. https://cnn.it/4vaNP6k

bernie sanders has nothing to show for his lifelong obstinacy besides a body count
NEW: A bill restoring money for pediatric cancer therapies was defeated in the Senate.
My colleague @samsteindc.bsky.social — who has covered this wrenching story ever since the funding was first removed at Elon Musk's behest last year — reports on why Bernie Sanders helped defeat the bill.

A Pediatric Cancer Bill Fell One Vote Short. Bernie Cast It.
The Vermont senator is holding out for a bigger health care package. Advocates are asking: Is the price worth it?

This #linocut shows an obstinacy of buffalo in all senses of the words. The collective noun for a group of buffalo is a "obstinacy". Clearly, these are hard-headed beasts. These ones have drawn a line in the sand. I dare you to cross it. Technically, these are American bison (Bison bison), 🧵

rudy giuliani killed a bunch of firefighters on 9/11 with his obstinacy and incompetence and they never forgot it
There was no Giuliani "downfall." He was a clown and a fascist his entire career in public life. Eventually it got too much to bear/wasn't worth the trouble for the media to keep inserting the fake moderate problem-solver Giuliani into their stories instead of the evil clown he was in reality.

Anybody who thinks it's hard not to see Pete Hegseth being fired soon hasn't paid any attention to the perpetual obstinacy and arrogance of Donald Trump
“The last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon,” writes John Ullyot, the former top Defense Department spokesperson who resigned from his position last week:

It's so frustrating seeing these institutions roll all the way over far in advance like little yellow-bellied bitch-babies when they could instead just adopt the obstinacy of a petulant child and say MAKE ME

The power of Trumpism has been its ability to enforce through sheer meanness and obstinacy a shared and entirely delusional view of the world on the rest of the country and I think that ability runs up against some pretty firm barriers at our borders

this is incredible. Mike Johnson might not have the votes for speaker, and if House Republicans can't find someone else they might not be able to certify Trump's Electoral College victory.

The Speaker election looks tight. The presidential election certification is just days away. Could Republicans impose their own January 6th through sheer obstinacy?

The gaps between Kyiv and Moscow remain too explicit, and their reasons for obstinacy too drenched in sacrifice, anxiety and blood.

Aside recognizing just adding a/c isn’t easy everywhere, I don’t get the obstinacy toward it (including my friends in like PA and ME), because the obstinacy is mostly cultural and denialism. Hotter days are here and dying from that is awful and also preventable.

Keir Starmer sees not resigning as taking responsibility. Others (including his own party) see it as blinkered obstinacy. This is a man flailing desperately to dodge a multitude of political knives pointed at his back from all directions. He must be sweating like a bastard.

Scott Jennings does not debate. He talks over women with particular frequency, interrupts relentlessly, and treats discussions not as exchanges of ideas but as contests of volume and obstinacy. It is performative obstruction—the cable-news equivalent of flipping the board when you’re losing the game

The absolute obstinacy encountered when trying to explain why you shouldn't use "AI" is just staggering. Mainly it's little more than stubborn defiance for its own sake, especially from people who should absolutely know better.

I'm reading some more Simone Weil at the moment, & enjoying her advocacy for what many people experience as pedantry - what many people who met her experienced as a sort of rigid, argumentative obstinacy. She gets very annoyed at generalisations, exaggerations, abstract terms applied too broadly.

Having lived in occasional close proximity to the climate wars for 20 years or so, my belief is still beggered when groups like the nationals behave with such childish obstinacy, narrow self interest and denial. What planet are they actually living on?
