omg if it was a script you'd reject it. Epstein and Soon-Yi Previn emailing about what Woody Allen thinks

Good to know who folks are.

ok but earlier in the email Larry Summers says another "insight" which is that women make up 50% of the IQ in the world but har har har 51% of the population which if you do that math means women are on average 2% less intelligent than men har har har got 'em, boys

This smarmy "observation" about women's IQ is so embarrassing (for Larry Summers)

did i miss this, because my bigger question is, Deepak Chopra was friends with Jeffrey Epstein?

I’m low-key mad that people in like TX and FL can see it. THIS BELONGS TO THE NORTH

What an incredible view from MN tonight. These reds were naked eye visible

I actually am so mad at Democrats for not saying for decades now that the ACA catalyzes innovation and entrepreneurship by allowing people to take career risks without fear of losing their families' health coverage

ah yes, individual people negotiating individually with huge insurance companies. a power balance tipped toward the little guy, and sure to produce excellent results for The People

I loved this book -- I, a person who doesn't like anything with remotely scary things in it, nor pandemic themes. It's great.

Idk how this will all play out in 2026 but the everyday reality of moms and dads and seniors and people on disability cobbling together meals while the pantry and fridge dwindle to nothing could also be seen as a mandate

Staff Sgt Waverly B. Woodson Jr. A medic, in the only unit of Black troops to land on the beaches. Injured by shrapnel before landing. Swam to shore. Worked 30 hours straight to save 200 lives under German fire. Distinguished Service Cross, with help from efforts by @vanhollen.senate.gov

will enrage the middle aged suburban parent market

Folks, i finally found a good use of AI

Man, this is some commitment to being heard, to pre-write an obit as you yourself are dying. Worth a read. "Watson’s making his one and only important scientific discovery when he was only 25"

My whole feed is a) I hate Chuck Schumer, or b) you don't understand politics, don't be mad at Chuck Schumer

Sounds like exactly the scenario religious liberty laws address. Prison guards forcibly shaved a man's dreadlocks, which he had for religious reasons. Gov't action that burdens religious freedom must have compelling gov't interest +use least restrictive means www.scotusblog.com/2025/11/cour...

one thing sports have taught me is that the great teams, when they have a gigantic lead, press down on the gas and bury their opponents while the mediocre teams coast and more often than not let their often weaker opponent right back into the game

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Are pundits ever going to notice that “stopping trans people from existing in society” is not compatible with actual “freedom of expression”? (Also, Heritage very badly wants to end legal abortion.)

Not a bear though www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

Doing this before the holidays is a choice!

Remember when Kash Patel posted a pic of a bullet that had “anti-ICE” written on it with a blue ball point pen and called it “engraved” after that shooting in Dallas and then we all just like moved on and forgot about it? And heard no other details about that shooting?

“I’m not playing your bullshit game” is one of my favorite categories

A woman ruined my workplace by Ingres (1854)

This is a great story (I'm sure Chris is out there asking "Did Women Ruin (My) Workplace?")

This is a terrifying trendline

“I think of privatizing a lot of things but generally speaking you know you have government & a lot of people don't like privatizing but some things they really do they work out better privatized but it is government & sometimes government can be better. It's something a lot of people talk about“

“.. I don’t want to hear about the affordability.” - 11/06/25

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

It will be "really unique" if I don't get to see my mom for Thanksgiving

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

A woman ruined my workplace By Caravaggio (c. 1602)

It just really, really looks like all of this is insane Millennial Sports ParentsTM convinced that everyone is coming for their kid's destined full ride and eventual pro career. Get a fucking hobby. An adult one that doesn't rest your self-worth on how your kid does in softball.

We saw you already, Ross Douthat and NYT. And the transcript remains the same. They mean "too many women = ruined workplaces" because they said it.

my kids when I stub my toe or cut my finger in the kitchen and really just need someone to ask if I'm ok

every woman:

I read it; it’s so so dumb. The say “woke” or “wokeness” - I am not joking - 25 times. These people cannot conceive of the idea that while society teaches us gendered behavior & there are observable differences between the genders, people are wonderfully diverse & never neatly filed into boxes.

I'm on a kick where I will eschew both Notre Dame football and the forward pass in general No-Knute November

Rocker in 1999: "Imagine having to take the 7 train...looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair...some qu**r with AIDS...dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time...20-year-old mom with 4 kids...biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners."

is that... ...is that one sheet of A4 and two sheets of legal printer paper scotch taped to the outside of the WH?

What Mamdani is promising will be **exceedingly** hard to deliver. For the sake of New Yorkers and pendulum swings and all that, when reality hits, he better bring his exceptional communication skills to bear. Explain what's happening, what's not happening, and why. Transparency and accountability.

Thinking about shooting this out of a T-shirt cannon in the direction of everyone who gleefully shit on Latinos after the 2024 election bc they lumped them all together and blamed them for the outcome as a bloc. Spoiler alert: Latinos are like every other voter: diverse and mostly self-interested.

Mamdani shouted out “Uzbek nurses” in his speech 🇺🇿

Trump 2024 closing "they/them" ad against Harris was widely credited on the left and right as a huge body blow to her campaign. Here is Winsome Sears trying to replicate that effect. She spent $2m on such ads in Sept. alone. Last night, she lost by almost 15 points.

All these nice white families who want their kids to have bilingual neural pathways or whatever are now losing preschool teachers for their kids Also, at 0:27 she clearly says "Yo tengo papeles" -- I HAVE PAPERS

not to be that Hamilton-quoting lady but winning was easy, governing's harder. turns out when you're in charge of everything, voters know that.

Fascinating! The universal, lockstep message from the GOP (including Trump) has been that the shutdown is "Democrats' fault". Trump said these exact words 2 days ago. Today he broke completely with that framing (possibly bc he doesn't like thinking that he might be to blame for this blue wave).

Quite a roundup thread
