#JournoRequest: I’m looking to interview Black women with Tourette syndrome about specific difficulties they face, diagnostic disparities and feeling unseen — And yes, also the BAFTA incident. Email me at sluterman at 19thnews dot org or DM if interested.

"Susan Collins wants to make it harder for Maine married women to vote" should be a pretty easy attack ad.

You could watch the State of the Union or you could tell me your favorite Simpsons quote(s). There are so many to choose from.

Call me crazy but I do think that people care about how the President illegally took $200 Billion from them and is refusing to give it back

it really is astonishing; this was the first men’s hockey gold since the literal miracle on ice and they couldn’t manage six hours before they turned themselves into the dipshit brigade for 60% of the country

Spending Tuesday night researching hearses for a project, which, ya know, is still 1 million better than doing the other thing. Unrelated, here's my only drawing with a hearse I have ever done (if memory serves me well).

Get Out was released in theaters on this day 9 years ago (+ happy birthday daniel kaluuya 🥳)

NEWS tonight: Democrats have successfully defended state House seats in Maine and Pennsylvania. Dems have narrowest of majorities in each of these 2 chamber. A GOP gain in either would have meant that Dems' majority is over soon. More details in my Bolts guide: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

I miss the days when I could root for America at the Olympics without worrying about them coming home and endorsing fascism

READ THEORY!

Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%). But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

You can expect Trump to propose a bunch of stuff tonight and those proposals won't be worth your time to think about, it'll be vaporware just like this.

The amount of racism that black creatives in Britain ALREADY have to wade through is awful and this incident reinforces the message that institutions like BAFTA and the BBC don’t have their backs. They’ll edit out “free Palestine” but not the literal n-word?!

The US poured untold amounts of money into Arabic language and area studies education to train up a generation of Middle East experts due to the GWOT and then immediately disregards their opinion in favor of Brett fucking McGurk

Illinois’ commitment to Ukraine has not wavered in the four years since Russia invaded. We stand firm in our support as they defend their freedom. Slava Ukraini!

The whole point of a groupchat is working out your insane ideas so you don’t mention them on a podcast. Also, if you’re mentioning fertility rates, I assume you’re in a groupchat with 17 y/o Nazis.

Meanwhile the FBI director is partying with Olympians on our dime.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

This is like when I told other journalists "Anchorman" was 21 years old before my presentation at NICAR last year and they all made faces at me in reply.

FBI Director Kash Patel is under fire over videos of him celebrating with the men’s U.S. hockey team. The FBI had said Patel’s trip to Italy was for official travel, but critics are now questioning that amid broader questions about his leadership. https://to.pbs.org/40vRZY8

Remember it's Election Day tomorrow. Democrats are defending important state House seats in Maine and Pennsylvania — in both cases, in chambers where their margins are as close as it gets, and they can't afford to lose either seat. Details in here: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Dang it Shirley #antiquesroadshow

Do any other families play the guessing the value game while watching #antiquesroadshow ?

#antiquesroadshow how can teenage turtles be ANTIQUE already? I was already too old when they were a part of pop culture.

MAAAAPPPPPSSS now this episode is complete #antiquesroadshow

Surprised this is the first Stephen King item for a #antiquesroadshow in Maine.

“Sadly, she killed a man” is one of the better lines ever on #AntiquesRoadshow.

Hey, finally something from @stephenking.bsky.social on a Maine episode of #AntiquesRoadshow!

I adore Antiques Roadshow. But it's so wholesome, every time I see it trending on #Bluesky I think #AntiquesRoadshow is some form of code, and there's an alliance silently moving chess pieces across the board of America. But it's really just Nan bringing a quilt to a historic farm for fun.

I'm glad they did have stephen king item for the Maine episode of #antiquesroadshow

I made it #antiquesroadshow
