Perhaps a good day to adopt the spelling of furore ...

I said to my partner back in January that the only thing that will keep the monster is check is corporate profits; that angry rich people losing money will have more power than any court or Congress. TACO has stuck for a reason.

I don’t need to read past a Nate Silver headline to be confident that we are doing the right thing.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

And they say Bluesky is boring? A fun 🧵

Disney isn't just a subscription. If y'all are serious. Cancel Disney world and land. Cancel Disney Cruises. Cancel the mouse. Cancel fucking Florida.

Or, maybe, just hear me out ... fuck this entitled jerk. I mean, "a 30-year-old e-commerce growth consultant" tells you all you need to know about this guy. We definitely want people like this calling the shots. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/n...

"Spendthrift" is a word that has never made any fucking sense to me.

Bullseye? Bulls-eye? Bull's eye? Bull's-eye? I mean, come on. WTF? Over to you, BD ...

Hulu cancellation interface is not working. Fortunately, I pay with PayPal so could still shut them down.

Pelosi and Panetta voted in favor of HR 719. I will support any serious primary challenger, especially for Panetta. Seriously considering filing myself.

Sad to say that the latest Holmes pastiche from Nicholas Meyer is a pretty rote affair, relatively charmless. Do yourself a favor and re-read Seven Percent Solution or (my favorite) West End Horror.

Know the playbook, folks.

Money. Corporations. The only American ideology is profit.

what ezra doesn't seem willing to accept is that charlie kirk was part of a political movement that does not think that "we are going to have to live here with each other" and is fact very interested in the elimination and/or subjugation of many, many people

When You Listen to This Song (trans. Lauren Elkin) received a starred review from Kirkus: "Unflinching in her observations...and in her questions... a poignant historiography of Anne Frank’s writing.”

Been offline today, just hearing this terribly sad news. Thought the world of Dan, indie publishing had few champions this energetic. He will be missed. Greatly.

Still wrapping my head around the notion that Robert Redford was mortal.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

A giant. They truly do not make them like that any more. End of an era.

Whether or not we take back the House, Jeffries must must must be shitcanned in the next Congress. Looking to you, @aoc.bsky.social ...

Timeline cleanse.

Here is this morning's all-purpose found metaphor. Apply where fitting and as needed.

On this day in 1990, the classic documentary 'Paris is Burning' premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. Now the film is streaming on HBO Max and The Criterion Channel. You can also find it on this list of the best documentary portraits of LGBT culture: buff.ly/2w77jfv

David Bowie's archive opens to the public this week, revealing a treasure trove of unrealized projects and personal items.

People are going to learn a lot about Groypers, Pepe the Frog, Furries, Helldivers 2, 4Chan and a bunch more this weekend. And they will be absolutely terrified.

Kash Patel is what you get when a right-wing conspiracy podcaster gets handed the keys to the FBI. Everyone knew he would be a train wreck, but they confirmed him anyway. PS: props to the foreign press for asking the questions our own reporters won’t.

This is exactly right. And not just in the right wing echo chamber. Watch the Times lead the way.

Cox is a complete idiot. Social media is a cancer, but open carry on campus is a-ok.

Kash Patel and Dan Bongino leading an FBI manhunt in the heart of Mormonland sounds like the setup for a Coen Brothers movie

Honestly people who believed the initial @wsj.com lies about the bullets just failed a basic media literacy test. The WSJ is just printing white wing press releases and if you don’t know that by now I don’t know what to tell you.

I have been thinking about this nonstop for the past 24 hours.

Dr. Horne is a white historian from the south, specializing in US white supremacist violence. Read his work and follow him. "They ask us, in short, to ignore or even embrace Kirk’s encouragement of state and vigilante violence against marginalized groups as just normal everyday conservatism."

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...
