Betty Gilpin‘s line in Death by Lightning that no children will ever know Charles Guiteau’s name hits a little less hard if you were a teenager who got in trouble for passing along the Assassins cast album to your little sister, who then started singing “The Ballad of Guiteau” on the ride to school

One of my greatest worries about climate was “countries will not trust each other enough to do this” but that’s actually become somewhat moot as renewables have become way preferable for many growing countries precisely /because/ they do not trust temperamental petrostates.

Schumer received the 7th-most amount of money from military contractors last election cycle. On Wednesday, Schumer voted to authorize $901 billion in military spending. www.stephensemler.com/p/senate-vot...

Your Friday reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax. Cruel because it's used by the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. And a hoax because nothing has ever trickled down.

Defunding the American Academy of Pediatrics? This will lead to increased disease and demise of children! Trump and Republicans don't give a damn about children. What more evidence do you need?

If you are wondering why so few people are concerned about the scent of smoke, why so few people are concerned about that overwhelming scent of smoke, keep in mind: multiple studies have found that a Covid infection can cause lasting damage to people’s sense of smell.

if working for ICE is getting you serious pushback in a Kansas City church that I'm guessing is unlikely to be a particularly liberal one, you're losing.

Pope Leo XIV has criticized prison overcrowding during a special Mass for detainees, guards and their families.

Rob Reiner made THE PRINCESS BRIDE. He made WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. He made MISERY, SPINAL TAP, and countless other classics. Rob gave us a great gift, and his and his wife's senseless murders are a devastating loss.
