This article makes sense for the NYT because it incites hate-clicks and makes you hate the wife of the owner of their only real rival as a national newspaper.

Weird thing that is actually true is that Ken Bone is only 44 years old, in the year of our lord 2026.

The Doordash Grandma is a character in the Joe the Plumber Extended Universe.

This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist

I don't think this is going to work. A lot of people on the right are looking for an excuse to abandon ship and this feels like a good permission structure for them.

Before I read the caption I was like "why is Benny Johnson talking to himself"

Happy to see Fidesz eat shit, not that Tisza is good.

This is going to end with both Iran and Trump extracting tolls.

If you recognize which unnamed woman is talking because you're asked for comment and the comment makes it clear which of the woman's rape stories match your memory of events, and you text that specific woman and say "stop telling people I raped you," that is.... sure an admission of something.

Ten minutes of gameplay away from Victor Wembanyama winning Defensive Player of the Year and making his first all-NBA first team.

Humanity: Pretty awesome, sometimes.

It's so funny that the left gets tarred with "obsessed with identity" when in 2026 the modal conservative influencer is a cocktail away from posting "I am tired of pretending Sicilians are white."

Just learning that a central figure in the Trump-Epstein axis is named Midelfart

Two potential explanations. One is that against the better judgment of Trump, his advisors, and likely his lawyers, a hurt and innocent Melania decided to freelance a public statement that reasserts Epstein in the public conversation. The other is that they're trying to get ahead of something.

This is a fantastic movie, one of the best noirs of the 90s and my favorite Jim Thompson adaptation (apologies to The Grifters and Coup de Torchon).

You know what's a shitty song? ZOOT SUIT RIOT THROW BACK A BOTTLE OF BEER Goddamn.

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Few set pieces more enjoyable than the one where Allie follows Hedy to what can best be described as a new age sex dungeon in Single White Female.

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine

Wait Jenny Agutter was up for Dr. Crusher?

What is emerging here is the same dynamic that existed between John Paul II and the Soviets.

I think all the time about the fact that they make you do two years of Texas history and they never teach you what the Texas War of Independence was fought over. It's just not part of the curriculum.

Now that's a spicy meatball.

There will be books written about the pitiful weakness of the opposition in ascendant fascist states in the early twenty-first century. They will not be written in English.

This Tipsy album is very good -- it reminds me of one of my favorite contemporary bands, Mouth Painter: ersatz psychedelic lounge/exotica. No two songs sound the same. Great music to write to, terrific "flow state" music. Unfortunately, it's against Discovery. It really had no chance.

For non-war related reasons I’ve been rewatching the Kiarostami catalog recently, and there’s such beauty, kindness, and humor in the Iranian character — all qualities Trump doesn’t possess and doesn’t value.

ANYONE ELSE GOT WORLD CUP FEVER

if Trump nukes Iran it will be because no one powerful in america has ever been seriously punished for anything

in a moment full of crazy events i truly have to pause to say: that:'s absolutely crazy

whoever does it is gonna be remembered for centuries and reincarnated as a lotus flower

Michael Clayton is a pretty good movie.

discovering that 1990s indie filmmaker Morgan J. Freeman has built a second life as a liberal Twitter posts guy

This is temporary -- they also did this before launching Taylor Tomlinson's Late Late Show replacement. Even for CBS under the Ellisons conceding the late-night hour would be preposterous. We're like 18-24 months out from something like The Late Show with Nate Bargatze.

life inside the false reality feels more real and more exciting than actual reality does to many of these people

We still had Kiarostami and Mehrjui

Still incredible to me that the Conde execs thought the best way to save the Pitchfork Music Festival was booking Black Pumas and Alanis Morissette as headliners. They never understood what they were buying when they bought Pitchfork.

Are they extracting the 1985 Chicago Bears

We are so, so small. #Artemis

No! Don't do that!

Challenger

I've always been a little resistant to The Hold Steady because in college a guy told me I look like Craig Finn and that was mortally wounding but Separation Sunday is a great album.

I really dislike how even on very special day when families are together and trying to live and be happy this absolute goofball needs to be in the middle of it dancing around like an idiot like the Judge in Blood Meridian

I get that making A Dirty Shame was a huge kick in the pants but I wish John Waters had been making movies for the past twenty-two years.

My best cooking tip is that if you have limited time but want a bolognese with deep, hours-of-slow-cooking flavor, throw a big heaping tablespoon of gochujang in there.

Donald Trump hasn't appeared in public because he forgot to blow three kisses to the pot and the White House residence has been flooded with a growing mountain of spaghetti.

Vologda Oblast has lots of beautiful villages of the medieval era, but it's also home to Cherepovets -- the heart of Russia's steel industry and one of many awful little cities littering the nation's industrial north.

My new favorite Web Content is this genial young doctor solving Doctordle (Wordle, but for Differential Diagnosis) while reasoning through his guesses aloud.
