This sums up the last 10 years

Solidarity forever

Same

Can’t stop thinking about the NYTimes’s “we don’t do endorsements anymore but don’t vote for Mamdani” pre-primary write-up. Big journalism spent the past 10 years trying to find real America, and willfully tried to suppress what was taking place in its own backyard. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/o...

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Dick Cheney’s legacy is: he and his coconspirators took advantage of the collective fear and grief post-9/11 to lie their way into a vanity oil war that got a million people killed.

Wow, haven't seen a "racially charged" in a while.

Any of these guys using torpedo bats? Did that ever become a thing?

Back at it for 2025. I’m a NYC based journalist and illustrator. I just finished #inktober, a 31 drawings in 31 days challenge I do every year. Pen and paper. Here’s how it came out, days 1-4:

If this were a 30 minute sitcom, the judge would say this and then the camera would immediately cut to a new scene where Bovino is throwing like five tear gas canisters right into a trick-or-treater’s candy bag.

Josh Hawley talks in biblical terms about America’s duty to feed the hungry, but can’t resist floating the caveat that, actually, undocumented people don’t deserve to eat. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/28/o...

When your voice goes and you really really have to take a sick day, it's nice when a charmer like @1robgunther.bsky.social can fill in on the fly slate.com/podcasts/wha...

Listen: I'm guest hosting for Mary Harris today on @slate.com's daily news pod, What Next. I talked with @jaywillis.net about the NBA indictments, gambling on everything, and why it feels like we're all living in Biff's nightmare world from Back to the Future Part II.

An ICE leadership purge because the Trump administration wants federal police to be doing more of what we’re seeing in Chicago.

Wow I got super excited imagining I’d be able relive my glory years in college … except it turns out this specifically does not include competitive multiplayer? That’s like the only reason I’d play. Gift link:

Definitely read this @jaywillis.net banger about a part of modern US history I had no idea of. There’s a direct lesson here for anyone thinking about the whole Graham Platner nazi tattoo business.

We need new language to write about politics. Calling a disgraced former governor and a failed corrupt one-term mayor “moderate” comes off as lazy. Whatever your understanding of politics, these guys do not represent the ideological middle ground. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/n...

I knew right away it was because of “a latent defect within the service’s automated DNS [domain name system] management system,” if only people had listened to me!

Compare Barzal’s intermission interview, only talking up Schaefer. Compare it to Tavares calling Barzy “the kid with the Calder.” Night and day. #isles

Trump: me and my rich friends are paying for the unapproved $300 million White House demolition. Also Trump: I demand the federal government give me, the president, $230 million.

Ah yes, the most surprising and deft move of the night: the Republican nominee saying he’ll take a “conciliatory approach” with Donald Trump. I never thought about partisan politics this way. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/n...

My 10yo got to skate with the NY Islanders last night to kick off their game against the Sharks. Thanks for an unforgettable night!

A quick pen and ink based on the news: I wanted to emphasize that the White House does not have approval for its construction project. Part of my #inktober series on Instagram, from last night.

1. Buy giant plastic barrel of twist-shaped pretzels. 2. Eat one. 3. Hate it. 4. Offer pretzels to kids as school snack. 5. Listen to kids say, "No we don't like those." 6. Always forget to throw barrel away. 7. Stare at it randomly for months, a simmering contempt that boils into a baseline rage.

Red Hulk should be forced to wear purple pants just like Green Hulk.

Working in news was so much easier when there was a giant container ship stuck in the Suez Canal.

Apple engineers: “what if for the new iOS, we make it so that people have to do tons of extra taps on their phones for things that used to only take one tap?”

Guy did Russian kettlebell swings in his macho campaign debut ad and now you’re telling me he’s secretly a communist.

If you go back to the original source material, the monster’s name is clearly Frankenstein.

Seeing people just now starting to grapple with six seven, if you don’t have kids, now you’re the ones who are out of touch.

Perfidia Beverly Hills will return in Avengers Doomsday.

Democrats will agree to end the shutdown if Hunter also gets to be on TikTok’s board.

When there is enough Slacking about something, we make you write a story.

I wrote about living in NYC with 3 kids in a 2-bedroom and why it's awesome for @slate.com

Absolutely no one: Farmers: "What if we started making grapes look more like fingers?"

Someone finally got their Nobel peace of the pie.

TFW your family's pediatric dentist office regrets to inform you via email that their office was victim to a cyber attack and your personal information may have been compromised lol.

Way too much Frankenstein this year.

A sad byproduct of the GOP's "dems shut down the government to give illegal aliens healthcare" lie is that dems feel the need to come out and be like, "No! We'll never give money to undocumented immigrants for healthcare!" and that itself is kind of a baseline win for the anti-immigrant right.

Let’s do that hockey

Stephen Miller deputy Anthony Salisbury was texting on signal in public. Lots of serious stuff out in the open that was photographed and leaked to a reporter. But also he calls Kash Patel a “douche canoe.”

Great example of a journalist taking GOP talking points at face value and amplifying a narrative that’s not true.

Gift link: Worth reading today while clips of this batshit speech flood our socials. In 2018, Pete Hegseth’s mom wrote him a letter. “Is there any sense of decency left in you?” she said, noting his abusive behavior toward women. She pointed out his lack of character. And she called him a baby.

I endorse the winning slop bowl, a no brainer.
