Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Telling the people who voted for you that you are going to pass the policies you ran on is not a "shift" from a "mollifying tone"

McConnell orders the government to fully fund SNAP benefits for November immediately via TRO—written order to come. Any motion for a stay is denied. The Court will stand adjourned. Wow.

@atrupar.com really burying the chancery-lede here that he literally asked them hot in the oval about "what's up with this little bidding war" omg

SCOTUS is lawless. The harm? Incalculable. Staying the action? There is no harm that can be proven to the state (or anyone).

Thank you for your attention to this platter!

He said he’s just a poor boy, and he figures he’ll lay low—submarine—to prevent this story from lasting. He’d like to torpedo it, as it’s already been a foot long in the newspaper every day. He’s been eating from a sack lunch—he bag “et”—while quietly perusing a dating app for men.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

neat little moment demonstrating how you can learn more about a person in four seconds of action under duress, than anything you'll glean from an hour of babbling about alpha maleness or whatever

the leader of the department of health literally runs away everybody else rushes to the hurt guy and the Make America Healthy Again guy says "I gotta get outta here" let a hundred gifs bloom

Me celebrating the verdict

Sandwiches are now speech as long as they remain wrapped and supple.

Of course the guy got off. The case was sub standard.

Absolutely hilarious. This is an all-timer.

Jurors Say Hold the Tomato

Have we ever had as big a coward and a liar as Speaker of the House as Mike Johnson? I can think of cowards, incompetents, and liars, but never one who combines so many bad traits. Probably the worst, although I’m sure a historian will remind me of an antebellum one.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

There always have to be specific cases—Aziz Ansari, Depp v. Heard—where the women who came forward are just repeatedly slandered in service of the narrative that they lied and they are examples of MeToo excess, even when they've only been harmed for coming forward and egregiously so!

It's never been mandatory to believe all women or victims. Every single person who came forward throughout the history of MeToo, which started well before 2017, has faced new acts of violence as retaliation from their abusers and the public for upsetting the status quo

Bill Cosby is out of jail, Louis CK sells out stadiums, even Woody Allen is being invited back into polite society. What "excesses" are these people talking about?

My author-client @bzotto.bsky.social is very close to funding his book on Sphere Computers, which will fill the historical gap with a ripping yarn about a brilliant but flawed genius in Utah who got the first boot-to-prompt personal computers in the market, sold over 1,000, and then disappeared.

I’m not trying to snitch on anybody’s personal business, but, uh… judging by what I’ve seen of NYC’s reaction to Zohran’s win, they’re going to need about twice as many of those baby baskets in August.

BABE, WAKE UP! Abortion won BIG this week! Come take a shameless victory lap with us in our repro rights election roundup:

Very excited about this. Khan caused a whole rethink of modern monopoly.

BREAKING: Men who can’t even keep the government open write letter to a third man, whose high court regularly publishes anonymous orders, to complain about anonymous criticism from lower court judges.

A cardoon from a few years ago. Glorious inflorescence.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

I can't help noticing the Supreme Court conservatives expressing the first doubt of a Trump assertion in oral arguments the day after the election day where every Republican running lost by 20 points. But they would never be swayed by such worldly things in their consideration of The Law, right?

King County elections confirmed to me that so far they’ve only counted ballots up to those submitted Monday or early on Election Day, and none from drop boxes. Wednesday reflects basically a wrap up of what they started counting Tuesday.

This is clearly critical of the government of Israel but I’ve never seen a shred of evidence that Mamdani holds antisemitic views. The only thing they can cite is a slogan he didn’t say.

He was super polite during the election season even as everybody on their cousin was beating up on him, but now that he's won, he's not allowed to say anything back to them

the political director for trump’s 2024 campaign today gave the game up and said trans rights literally don’t matter in deciding elections it is “not even the top five issues, according to voters” per the intv with @politico.com
