The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.

I told my smart speaker to play WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES by the Doobie Bros for a particular reason. And now she’s just playing yacht rock songs and my kitchen sounds like “ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ADS: GREATEST HITS”

ICE deportation agent: “Just to be upfront, the goal is to put as many guns and badges out in the field as possible.”

Secret police shooting women in the face and kidnapping and teargassing schoolchildren not getting any more popular, for some reason

Nation’s weird stepfather announces at dinner that no one appreciates his hard work, then sulks off to the guest room he claimed as his “den” to watch cable news all night while angrily mashing buttons on his phone.

Sometimes I write you a letter, and today it is about Moby Dick, the abyss, and a teen age mariachi band. Plus a mouse riding a lobster. open.substack.com/pub/hodgman/...

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

My thoughts on Graham Platner and his old Reddit posts. blackgirlinmaine.com/current-even...

to this i would add a good amount of self-loathing stemming from a belief that liberal political views are somehow “inauthentic” or an affectation of “elites”

There’s been a lot of well-deserved appreciation for Drew Struzan’s iconic theatrical art, but I’d like to also celebrate the art he did for @carolekingofficial.bsky.social’s 1973 album FANTASY. It has such a sublime warmth and personality to it, and it’s the perfect gateway to a great album.

Whoa. I co-host this podcast about state (and commonwealth) mottos and even I am stumped on a bunch of these

this man's marriage would not exist if not for a previous generation of people marching for their rights.

Remember how under Biden the press said this was the biggest issue ever but how now under Trump it’s barely mentioned? Yeah.

Because this week's eps of their respective podcasts popped back to back in my feed, I couldn't help but think how much @stabert.bsky.social would appreciate @hodgman.bsky.social's musings on Philadelphia on this week's episode of E Pluribus Motto. maximumfun.org/episodes/e-p...

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

I think Mills has a been a good governor, and she’s obviously free to run. but this is a clear indication that Dem leadership in DC is going to cost Platner and the other candidates money and do them reputational damage just because.

Dan Pfeiffer For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the hell the Senate Democrats are doing in Maine — the most important Senate race in the country. Their decision to back Janet Mills suggests they have learned no lessons from our loss in 2024. messagebox.substack.com/p/are-democr...

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

DAILY MEMO: The Kidnapping of Latino Workers Continues From California to Chicago If you appreciate this reporting, please consider becoming a monthly or yearly member of L.A. TACO, buying some merch, or dropping a dime in our fundraiser so we can continue to bring you this vital information.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Where are the commanding officers of those sailors in the background. How are they letting this happen?

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Hello if there's anyone who would like a little pep talk in an upcoming That's Marvelous newsletter, please let me know here, and I'll see what I can do! :)

This week, the panel will be joined by guests: Comedian and Author, @hodgman.bsky.social and Comedian and Podcaster, @akilahhughes.com! A brand new episode airs Saturday, 9/27 at 9p ET/PT on @cnn.com.

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

new convo between me and @lioneltrolling.bsky.social on hegseth and that weird display in quantico www.patreon.com/posts/unclea...

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.
