We are rapidly losing the outlets where new writers can learn to shape a voice, where they can cultivate skills beyond quick news hits and PR with the guidance and mentorship of strong editors and the benefit of a trusted name, and it’s such a loss for writers and readers alike.

Happy May Day, folks. Don't forget to leave out a hare and a copper for Christopher Lee.

If only someone skeeting about it were a federal legislator and not a helpless private citizen cause everybody I know has been writing to their reps and senators demanding protection for abortion access since before this joker of a POTUS got elected

This may seem harsh to some readers but I believe the Supreme Court Justices should be sent to a sort of Hellraiser type of dimension

For those of you who didn't know - you do now! #BookSky

He died as he lived Going fast

We already don't have an independent judiciary that has the power and credibility to stand up to tyrannies of the majority. That's the point. It's gone, if it was ever real.

Mm. I would say “mask off” but lets be real, that mask wasn’t wver even on. That mask wasn’t even a mask. Anyways, we told y’all.

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED

This jury apparently is familiar with the case of State v He Who Smelt It.

In the DS9 episode Take Me Out to the Holosuite, they made Rom left handed because his actor, Max Grodenchik, played baseball in college and in the minor leagues. He couldn't make his body play baseball badly, so they had him play with his off hand so Rom could be convincingly bad at the game.

There’s literally a fucking comic called KINGDOM COME about flashy nihilistic ultra violent young superheroes trying to supplant Supes and Superman effortlessly tossing them in the bin. But know I’m sure an Amazon cartoon with worse animation than the LITTLE MERMAID spin-off in the ‘90s will do it.

This:is 💯 correct. The vast majority of Section 2 litigation (and settlements made under the threat of litigation) have been at the local level. Callais will gut minority representation in city councils, county supervisors, and school boards across the county.

The "reactionary colorblindess" of the right-wing justices has reached its logical conclusion in finding that it is racist NOT to let Louisiana—and any other state for that matter—discriminate on the basis of race in voting. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Ah yes, the Trump Administration, stalwart defender of norms

I heard they were in Hilary Clinton's emails. Never forget: he's part of the reason we're in this mess.

"Because the Convention Against Torture prevented her from being deported to Colombia, ICE instead packed her onto a bus and tried to abandon her in Mexico." Mexico wouldn't take her, but the Democratic Republic of the Congo will.

Just to make a note about this, but the Supreme Court seems likely to AGAIN rule that Trump's extremely obviously racism against non-white immigrants is not enough to invalidate a policy of his. Only Jackson and Sotomayor seemed to broadly press the point.

The court has simply recreated the pre-Brown world in allowing racial discrimination across a broad number fields as long as it is “facially neutral,” gutting the Reconstruction Amendments in the process.

It may or may not surprise you to know that “it would not surprise me if x is true” is not the standard federal prosecutors are supposed to use in deciding whether to charge X.

You speak of him

I know a lot of people disagree with @jamellebouie.net over this, but I agree with him. And there's two words for why: Epstein files. Trump is breaking the law by holding them back, so you have cause. But also it's politically the smartest move. Here's why..... youtu.be/6HXfjZX9UO0?...

what is the fucking point of an opposition party that acts like this

hello everyone who is checking out my profile for what I assume are innocuous reasons unrelated to current events have you read discworld? it’s very good

Raise your hand if you want to at least VISIT the Land of Boobies.

Well well well

We don’t yet know if Trump was target. And I get why people think it’s staged based on the regime’s history. But isn’t the most plausible explanation that Trump is a massively unpopular, hated individual, in a country awash in easy-to-get guns & glorification of violence?

BTW, I'm essentially nuking any chance I have of working in mainstream journalism again by making this list, so please subscribe to my newsletter!

“How dare you not show compassion here” say the defenders of a profession that has almost completely ignored the largest number of journalists murdered in a single year for two years in a row because they happen to be considered non-human by (checks notes) the guest of honor at this event.

Look they only have a $3B annual budget and have lost fewer than 10% of presidents let’s see you do better

journalists keep getting bombed in lebanon and gaza but sure i'll take an hour of silence because jake tapper had to hide under a table for a minute

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hearing the head of the WHCA—who just days ago participated in a Paramount dinner “honoring” Trump— say tonight that the First Amendment is “fragile” because of a random shooter rather than because of the president sitting next to her on the podium is, I guess, exactly as pathetic as you’d expect.

Israel alone killed over 75 journalists in 2025, something many of the people I'm currently reading breathless posts from have still said nothing about.

Oh no did the WHCA actually have to feel even a millionth of the fear we've all been living with every day oh the poor dears

Thinking about Jamal Khashoggi tonight as well as the rest of the hundreds of journalists killed in the Middle East in the last few years

Journalists that are threatened and killed for their work are not just ignored by the people at the dinner, but those that throw endless money at the human detritus at that dinner is actively squeezing the worthwhile journalists out of the business at best, and throwing them into the fire at worst.

You know, I have been thrown up on by a sick child three times tonight, and I am more dignified than everyone at the WHCD. Love seeing how little people care about the Access obsessed fuckers who were there legitimizing exactly this sort of behavior.

Trump of c pumping the need for his f'ing ballroom. I don't know if people understand that it would be *bad* to have the WHCD *at the White House,* it'd be like having a police reporter event at the police station. Or, better example: A crime reporter event at a crime scene.

If any actual reporters were attending Nerd Prom tonight, this might be a good point.

this is what all the social media in the Purge movies looks like
