Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

you wanna see a dead body

I've waited 3 years to make this post

The Biden "sexual harassment" accuser bestowed Russian citizenship. Clearly nothing to see here. - Cristo Grovez

This is how you do it folks

Today is the 30th anniversary of my son's birth. He loved Batman, Lord of the Rings and Civilization games.He suffered from depression and mental illness. I miss him every day. If you or a loved one needs help, people are there to listen and aid. You are not alone.

Sauron wants to see Frodo succeed.

A country of people who permit this THING to rule them for fear of upsetting their status quo lives is a country beyond any external sympathy. Germany had the excuse of not having 80 years of warnings of what a dictator might do to the world. What's your excuse, America?

The FDA doesn’t routinely test generic drugs for quality concerns. Here’s what we found when we did.

Can someone please respond to Stephen Miller with this message from Frank Sinatra?

Well this has got to be the best deal in all of TTRPGs 3 season of Play to Find Out (with sound design by our very own @brianflaherty.bsky.social), tons of bonus videos, designer interviews, and campaign diaries. Plus access to the Quinns Quest Patreon?! Seriously. Go become a Patron.

Some plans for the holidays

WOW. Trump's approval rating is now 36%. And I don't remember ever seeing him underwater with white people.

“We couldn’t report on the sinking of the Titanic until we spoke to Captain Smith.”

Remember, JFK voluntarily served in the military during WWII even though medically exempt & a war-hero while captaining PT-109 in the Pacific theater? Trump dodged the draft 5 times based on bone spurs in his foot & could not recall which foot when questioned. Trump has to put his name on fame.

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

How it started. How it's going.

I have been trying to explain what a journalist is, what they do, and why, and why they are different from talking heads, pundits, influencers, commentators, activists and politicians. This is a journalist.

It got Bari’d.

By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for two weeks. He bundled her into a rented canoe and paddled toward the nearest hospital, eight hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

perfect.

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

So last night as I was wondering why Pam Bondi diverted almost 200 National Security attorneys who should be chasing hackers and spies to redact the Epstein files, I remembered that John Eisenberg, who heads it, is the guy who altered the Trump-Zelenskyy transcript.

The clearest sign that Americans are propagandized to the gills is that a majority of voters will, with a straight face, still tell you that Republicans are better for business.

This is flat-out illegal. Congress determines the name of the Kennedy Center. Demolition of the East Wing is irreversible. This can and must be fixed. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/19/t...

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply. This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable. The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion. Release the files. Immediately.

this slaps

Back on twitter during the first Trump admin I speculated that Sarah Kendzior was being Cassandra-ized. Her predictions weren’t just being ignored - they were being suppressed out of fear she was right and by people in power who wanted to shut her up. And here we are. She knew!

This is disgusting. Trump is a horrible person.

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

Hmm can't relate. I told @robpalk.bsky.social on our first date that coelacanths are my favourite prehistoric fish and he replied 'well that's just recency bias'

I signed this. Do right by your writers, @propublica.org.

Gavin Newsom is Mitt Romney for the Democrats, a department store mannequin who will lose in a general election

This is what makes me crazy.

Now the boss owns 177 homes, and workers still can't pay rent.

oh look a real unemployment problem

People are going to die

Wow.

If you give multiple interviews to Vanity Fair and don’t know whether or not you are on or off the record - then you are not qualified to be a chief of staff. Speaking as a chief of staff.

Sherrone Moore is a terrible husband (quoting my mom: his wife is pretty, what the hell was he thinking?) and absolutely abused his position of power. His career and income stream is (rightfully) over for rest of his life at 39. If the woman he was involved with is who they say, she is over 30 yo

Just reflecting that a bunch of men who literally raped #children are still out there running the freaking world right now. Just infuriating.

“You don’t really kind of grasp the scale of what’s going on until you see it in person,” he said. Great piece and great writing @hunterw.bsky.social
