The new McCarthyism—they’re all rabid

Well…look at that! www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/a...

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

Choosing Chris Evans over Pedro Pascal makes no sense. Choosing Miles Teller over Callum Turner makes no sense. These movies are lying to themselves and to the viewer and I can’t abide. CAN’T. ABIDE.

Delighted to be a Villain!

I saw someone refer to Cracker Barrel as "Honky Bucket" and I have not been the same since

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

Sometimes I feel like Rae Armantrout is fucking with me

1999’s The Limey is an under-appreciated classic. RIP.

I don’t understand how anyone can feel confident that any particular set of rights will necessarily survive this administration and whatever follows it.

A pleasure to be in hallowed @havehashad.com pages

NY Abstract Expressionist painter Helen Frankenthaler became active in the NY School of the 1950s, and her work spanned six decades. She once said “One really beautiful wrist motion, that is synchronized with your head and heart, and you have it". Broome Street at Night, 1987 #HelenFrankenthaler

Was just peer-pressured into singing, hand on heart, the national anthem at Mission BBQ (friend’s lunch choice). Good collard greens, terrifying vibes

Re-watching 1980’s SUSPECT to get my young Liam Neeson fix *and* revisit John Mahoney, terminal pro. Cher as hard-working, hard-bitten defense attorney is cherry on cake, etc. etc. Quaid is pretty but he’s dead to me.

Ryne Sandberg, a Hall of Fame second baseman who became one of baseball's best all-around players while starring for the Chicago Cubs, has died. He was 65.

The songwriter and math professor found a following with his satirical political songs.

Is there a single college or university that has said - “nah, no “AI” right now. Let them prove themselves before we invest millions.”

This article is great. It also makes me think I should have taken Foucault more seriously when I read him 20 years ago.

"SCPs that got hoovered up and regurgitated by chatbots end up giving tech executives schizophrenia" is perhaps fittingly a very SCP thing to happen

What's that? No, I haven't seen the article or heard the news. I've been Walking the Perimeter

It's just remarkable that the president of the United States is running an extortion racket in broad daylight and not only is the nation apparently unable to stop it, hardly anyone will even call it what it obviously is.

Honestly, I am going to miss @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social's recaps almost as much as I miss Murderbot. Fabulous analysis and commentary, as always, in this review of the series finale. reactormag.com/tv-review-mu...

Only just now discovering this Lucille Clifton poem dedicated to Clark Kent.

The report from @rebuildlocalnews.bsky.social and @muckrack.com finds that more than 1,000 counties — one out of three in the nation — do not have the equivalent of even one full-time local journalist.

One of best public universities on one of the five most beautiful campuses in the country. Decimated.
