Accidentally started the latest @ifbookspod.bsky.social at .5x speed and just assumed they had to get blackout drunk before talking about Eric Adams again

Portland, like Chicago, has been a longtime target of the right and there is nothing happening there to remotely justify this deployment.

Timeline cleanse: Insta video of Allen Dershowitz being told by Martha's Vineyard police to stop harassing vendors or be charged with trespassing after three different sellers refused him service. 1/3 www.instagram.com/reel/DMvVG1S...

I don't know how to talk about what's happening in Gaza anymore, because words fail to capture the extent of the depravity. What's being done there in our name is a sin against God and the memory of our ancestors. It's the greatest crime committed in the history of our people.

legal analysts keep saying “you know, the rule the court established isn’t unreasonable, it may even be good!” But the thing is that it’s not the rule at all. You’re being told Calvin’s latest rule in Calvinball and thinking “ok well this one makes sense.”

Day 1 of the Mamdami Regime: men roam the streets asking strangers "are you Jewish?"

nothing wrong with tariffs. yeah the economy is going to crash, but chaos equals opportunity. im going to become a smuggler. now is the age of sail.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social NYT printing a basically impossible claim in the middle of an analysis article which refers to the governor of Maine as "icy" and uses not a single adjective to describe trump stripping funds from the state.

I really want to write an article about how unfocused consumer boycotts like this are the ultimate internalization of neoliberal politics, how it's this naive view that your individual consumer preferences are somehow transformed into progressive activism

I feel kind of defiant lighting Hanukkah candles the last couple of years because of how many people have insist that to be Jewish means closing your heart to the suffering being inflicted on Palestinian people, and I could not disagree more.

the library should host a monthly 'how to cook an egg' night where adults and children alike are provided a quiet, judgment free space to learn to properly cook an egg. this would do society a lot of good

This morning NPR interviewed a guy who bought his "dream home" on the Florida coast LAST YEAR complaining about the unaffordability of disaster insurance.

The thing is, once somebody proposes restricting the freedom of women to travel from one state to another, we actually don’t have to care about their ideas about marginal tax brackets or international trade or whatever

Now all Biden has to do is die before November to give Harris the incumbent advantage

ok we’re gonna need to stagger the recording of emergency pods so we don’t overwhelm the power grid

Absolutely loved that the morning edition host interviewing @fivefourpod.bsky.social referred to Peter's "stage name"

Here, apropos of nothing, is a good fiction book for children www.nyrb.com/products/the...

I should be allowed to get in fights with people in the Google restaurant reviews. Some of you are very dumb!

I think some people are confused about ROAD HOUSE (1989). It's a good movie that is also very dumb, not a "so-bad-it's good" bad movie.

Tough day for fans of tapestries of lies and schemes. My heart goes out to the community ❤️

my take on "from the river to the sea" is that if you can look at 10,000 dead civilians, 4,000 of which are children, bombed or crushed or vaporized or starved or who knows what else, and think, "i want to go online and argue about a slogan," you're not a morally serious person

Incredible how this Seinfeld joke from over 30 years ago still hits

if you live somewhere that Stop Making Sense is playing on a big screen right now, just go do it. you have to do it. get tickets right now and go
