This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Because James Watson has just died and because he seems to have been an awful person in many ways, there have inevitably been a lot of takes about the discovery of DNA. This article gives a more nuanced take. 1/2

This is in response to the picture below and a story about Jamaicans embracing solar power. Jaqueline Hazelton is an adjunct in an international studies program at Stanford, which is terrifying.

Horrible day to have eyes

I’m not sure “Trump cancelled your Thanksgiving travel” is going to be the political win the White House thinks it’s going to be. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Babe you don’t even go here

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Editor: You get that elegy to Nancy Pelosi’s 40-year political career done? NYT reporter: Sure did boss, real fuckin psychosexual just like you asked. Editor: what

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

SO excited about this collaboration. We have a lot of amazing classic Bitch posts in the pipeline. Bitch had such a profound influence on feminist media and these archives should not be buried! Thanks to @freeblackgirl.bsky.social for leading and @andizeisler.bsky.social for giving us her blessing.

Thanks to the libs, I will never be able to walk past a sandwich without feeling afraid.

Helen Andrews believes women are a problem because they keep calling her a terrible, abusive colleague to HR whereas men take the more straightforward approach of going on C-SPAN.

a couple years ago i contracted with one of subway's ad agencies for a small rotating sandwiches collab that ultimately they decided not to publish and i never did anything with. today feels like a good day to post one of them. here's my favorite subway sandwich, the veggie delight

Long live sandwich guy! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

It’s giving Renaissance painting. The full Tintoretto

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE MUST CREDIT: Lunch for jurors in the “sandwich guy” trial are a variety of sandwiches, according to a source familiar with lunch.

the speed at which RFK books it out of there is incredible

The jury has a note for the judge. The note is:

You don't want to be the Trump administration when the judge starts with a wind-up like this

smh the city’s already going down the tubes, thanks Mamdani pagesix.com/2025/11/06/e...

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort: www.404media.co/ai-is-superc...

Excuse the fuck out of me?

Cry harder

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

These guys need to be never allowed to have a shred of power again. The Republican party should be criminalized into nonexistence, and much of its platform deemed fully non-negotiable in any future situation. Everyone responsible for this should be pushed away from decent people.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Live Laugh Love-ass president

Our aspiring dictator once again expresses his envy of a real one

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Sandra Lee semi-homemade schadenfreude cake

I'm mad. Please put in the newspaper that I'm mad.

if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

Ezra Klein retire bitch

I’m told that the results of a single election reflect a perfect, unchanging, and inescapable spirit of the Volk, so I will expect us all to start respecting the American people’s desire for Woke Maximalism.

We did it for you Dick Cheney

great news for abortion rights in Pennsylvania

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

It is frankly REMARKABLE that a 34-year old Brown Muslim guy from Uganda, who loves smiling, custodians, and bodegas, has a fighting a chance to lead one of the most powerful cities in the world. Like the sentence almost sounds unbelievable AND YET. #zohranmamdani #nyc #mayoral #election

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

Hi! I have reached out to as many writers as I could find for the Bitch x @theflytrapmedia.com project I am shepherding. If you published stories in Bitch and want to have them potentially republished at The Flytrap, email us! I’ll be responding. flyteam[at]theflytrapmedia[dot]com
