Thanks, New Yorker

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

I'm ashamed to say I never paid much attention to Jane Goodall and I'm worried that I really, really missed out. Learning as much as I have now that she's passed, I feel I owe her and her work some thorough attention. What an amazing legacy

Everyone in Utah with a conscience needs to plan on attending #NoKings on October 18th. Thinking of something pithy for my sign...any ideas?

Donald Trump is going to cause a US Tiananmen Square if he's not careful. He's not careful.

If you believe in free speech in America, you need to oppose the deportation of Mario Guevara. The government has stated explicitly that he has been targeted for his reporting. We did it for Jimmy, now help Mario #jimmykimmel #marioguevara youtube.com/shorts/J-EAY...

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days. His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest. If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara. It’s time to #FreeMario now!

The world is amazing

Consider the transient nature of life. You're here now, but not forever. Humans are but will not always be. Even species that survive continue evolving into new things. The dinosaurs didn't go extinct. They turned into birds, and one day some will be things we'd hardly see as birds #evolution

Chose to not feel sucky today and it mostly worked Neato

@jimmykimmel.com Please consider suing. Talk to some real lawyers first but if this guy sparks your interest, take that spark and light the fire that powers the engine of zealous free speech advocacy #jimmykimmel youtube.com/shorts/q8XxF...

Yesterday's 72 page UN report on the genocide in Gaza is horrific and damming. It's comprehensive. It's an "Oh God" moment. I'm only halfway through #israelpalistine #israel #palistine www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

Nails it.

If we transported 2025 Charlie Kirk back to 2012 he would have been widely considered the most vile and contemptible human being in politics, worse even than Limbaugh. That he wasn't in 2025 is a testament to how much of a permission structure for gutter racism the right has built.

We've got Gavin Newsom et al. eulogizing a version Charlie Kirk who did not exist, Trump et al. blaming his death on leftist violence that didnt happen, and the entire media apparatus denouncing Dems for dancing on his grave, something no Dems are doing. Has The Discourse ever felt more unmoored?

In elementary school we would sing "This land was made for you and me" Thus I was radicalized to the liberal agenda

I do think it’s important to understand the more esoteric political threads in natconism but frankly this sounds no different from George Wallace.

"Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom" Outside of the National Archives where the Constitution is displayed Keep it up. You and I are the bulwark of Freedom #ice #protest #freedom #USA

i wish brands would include more technical information in their product descriptions. i don't need to know this was inspired by timeless italian men summering in nantucket who could dress up or down. i want to know the fabric weight, leather tanning method, seam construction, etc.

Very cool. I hope everything they're claiming is true and they can get this to mass market, cheaper than plastic www.wired.com/story/wired-...

Unacceptable: "As the National Weather Service scrambles to hire up to 450 people to restore deep cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency, potential applicants are being asked to explain how they would advance President Donald Trump’s agenda if hired."

Also recalling how my university used to provide flu shots for faculty, staff, & students, & there was always a big publicity campaign encouraging members of the university community to get a flu shot. This continued the first couple of years of COVID & then stopped. Another disturbing regression.

For 12 months, America had a limited proof of concept for universal healthcare, and it was so uniformly successful we had no choice but to obliterate our society

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

On the one hand, this piece I wrote for the Economist on the dollar after the election has aged reasonably well. On the other hand, a sizeable proportion of my earnings are paid in dollars so I don’t feel especially happy about this. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

I think I have more in common with the homeless than I do with a billionaire. Just to demonstrate how astronomically far away billionaires are

DM from a random stranger: “Trump isn’t the problem. Black men not raising their kids is. Do better.” I get DMs like this from people who don’t know me, don’t know what kind of father I am, and don’t care. They see a Black man speaking out about Trump or racial issues… 🧵

I want to live in the United States again, not Trumpistan

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov on fascism in 🇺🇸 : “There is not safety in keeping your head down… People who oppose public policy decisions but are too afraid of retribution from their government to speak their mind should send a chill down all of our spines.”

I love this, normalize this

The 5th amendment says "...nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself..." Another reason why the trump administration is dangerously bad for America www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
