This is what Hegseth promised. He should spend the rest of his life in a jail cell.

It implies that we are visitors in someone else’s country.

“Noem…Noem…No more DHS job, anyway”

In case Gaza and now the Iranian school didn’t make it clear, militaries using AI to pick targets and execute strikes is just going to result in escalating tragedy and atrocities that leaders can shrug off and blame on the technology, making war crimes “acceptable” and part of the strategy of war.

In high school as a singing host at the Macaroni Grill in Cincinnati I sang for Marvin Hamlisch during lunch one day

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

first pass is always weird for me but I still like this page (and if you like this page, this short story collection comes out in September!!)

[Michael Kors voice] It’s like something Saruman would wear to a French child’s first birthday party

Love how the msm invents new rules for Trump. He gets to come up for a reason for the war AFTER he starts it. What a lucky little fellow.

Sharing again for the evening crowd: To celebrate James Merrill’s centenary, a very close, very nerdy reading of his impossibly great poem, “Rescue,” in which he miraculously turns Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse gay. Full essay here: garthgreenwell.substack.com/p/james-merr...

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

Billy Corgan? The Evanston Restauranteur?

You won’t find a better or safer environment for effeminate gay boys to freely be themselves than a community where trans kids are affirmed.

Today so far: / U.S. tells citizens to flee Mideast, offers “very limited” help. / U.S. consulate in Dubai hit by Iranian drone. / Stocks down. / Oil prices up. / U.S. rips Spain and Britain for not helping U.S. attack Iran. / Trump says he has enough weapons for war “forever." 1/🧵

When Amy Winehouse sang "What kind of fuckery is this?" I felt that.

Could someone please invent an ice cream I don’t finish in two minutes

There’s a movement to draft Barron Trump, but I think a campaign such as this would be more effective if it impacted someone Donald Trump knew personally.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

The squeal I let out the moment I saw @praddenkeefe.bsky.social on the Industry finale. This one’s for the bookworms!!

Torturing trans women prisoners by executive fiat, and doubling down on said torture as soon as they attempt to fight back. This is what trans genocide in the USA right now looks like.

A lot going on here

I said it when this article came out in 2022 but it was only a matter of time before the Right did to Hollywood what the Right did to Bollywood

Hearing about this new trend. It's called brown hair

It surely should not be

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

Enraging and awful and very obviously enabled not just by across-the-board Awful People but also by a long list of institutions, media outlets, and political leaders who pretend to mask their bigotry by "just asking questions" or "raising concerns" or some BS. Love you, trans pals.

No. It's not. #Booksky #library 📚💙

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

The President singled out racial minorities as the source of fraud in the United States and the first line in recaps is “he stayed focused on the economy“ lol

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

i’m tired of hearing about the founding fathers. i just feel like, that’s enough of that

As someone who grew up on (white) teen movies, I was struck by how much that Patel scene looked like something straight out of a spec script in the 1980s. The racialized minority over performing nationalism as white frat boys clearly broadcast to everyone but him that he is not really one of them.
