Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

We created a new tool that uses prescription label information to identify where your drug was made. It also lets you see if and when that factory was inspected for quality and safety violations. Try it out 👇

Apropos of nothing...

I'm feeling seen.

@scottaukerman.bsky.social I did the best I could!

After a sweet little soundcheck performance from Aimee Mann, Ted Leo and the band, awaiting a lovely show tonight in Medford. @pftompkins.bsky.social please make sure @joshgondelman.bsky.social doesn't do TOO much cocaine before the show.

I've done some work assessing the accuracy of my CGMs (which you can read a little bit about here: type4.fun/2025/03/21/d...). My readings tend to be artificially high which can be equally dangerous in the extreme. The tech is a huge quality of life upgrade but still needs a lot of work.

Really excited about the Aimee Man & Ted Leo Christmas Show this Saturday at the Cheveliar Theater! I'm just wondering how much cocaine @joshgondelman.bsky.social is going to bring...

November is Diabetes Awareness Month so I shared my story with the American Diabetes Association. Diabetes education is so important. Even the ADA doesn't have a proper tag for my story, I don't have Type 1 but MODY wasn't available as a category. diabetes.org/blog/meet-ke...

This is my first Broadway play and first time seeing Waiting for Godot! It was a delightful way to celebrate my 40th. The Bill & Red reference got the biggest laugh! Kudos to @alexwinter.com , Keanu & crew!! Everyone was splendid and the set design was really interesting! Great show!

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

the PRETZEL gang!

to me, the “column” is less a form than an opportunity (and a challenge). you’re telling me i have as much space as i’d like to make an argument about anything i’d like to an audience inclined to pay close attention? well let’s see if they’ll read 2000 words on democratic legitimacy. (gift link)

When Tucker Carlson is making sense about free speech and Karl motherfucking Rove is lambasting conservative rhetoric, you really gotta wonder what's going on behind closed doors in the party of small government.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

How many episodes does Colbert have left? Could he invite Kimmel to co host and bring along his crew?

This is by Karl Rove.

President Trump ordered a second military strike on narco-traffickers today. The first already raised new questions of POTUS’s expanded war powers and fears Trump can order strikes “whenever he likes.” And Congress still knows very little. More here: www.npr.org/2025/09/14/n...

I recently completed a daunting 33ish mile, 11,000 ft Pemi Loop in the White Mountains! It wa sa wild experience that went far differently than I expected, which you read all about here: type4.fun/2025/08/08/t... There is even some amateur video!

Keep focus on the music. New album rips.

New: A federal judge was left “baffled” after Trump’s DOJ claimed the details of Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest are privileged. “If the privilege were that broad, no police report could ever be produced…”

“When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary’s duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” -Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Man,im in a cabin at the edge of the Adirondacks and the TV is getting this Yankees/Cubs interleague game. It's the first Cubbies game I actually get to watch on TV this beautiful season and it's a real a stinker! There is a weird life long Cubs fan poetry here.

They finally made the milk from that hotel

These fascists have already been farcically using the spectre of anti-Semitism to deport brown people. Now they're widening their scope to just anybody.

Getting ready for Murder by Death's farewell and the second time seeing @laurajanegrace.bsky.social with them!

In an unfamiliar area that doesn't seem to have a ton of dining options in walking distance from the hotel so I'm at George Lucas' favorite restaurant, and I got to say Chili's fucking slaps! It's been like 20 years since I've been in one. And, yes there is an Applebee's down the street.

Hey, remember ezboard? That was a fun time to be on the internet.

Based on crowd-sourced records of No Kings Day event turnout, and extrapolating for the cities where we don't have data yet, it looks like roughly 4-6 million people protested Trump across the U.S. yesterday. That's nearly 2% of the U.S. pop! Mobilized anti-Trump resistance is exceeding 2017 levels

We have revamped our catalog of Trump's atrocities. Now, each month gets its own entry, which we hope will make it easier to read and share. Here's the list for May 2025. buff.ly/MRA3S0l

For some women, the conditions have been particularly grim. In one case, a woman who had her period was denied access to menstrual products. When she needed to clean up, a guard allegedly gave her an extra bottle of water.

If ICE agents have families who haven’t convinced them to get out of the child snatching profession, then they can get bent too.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Last weekend, I ran in the USATF Mountain Running Championship at the Sunapee Scramble! It was a blast and very muddy! type4.fun/2025/06/03/s...

The extreme sport of ultrarunning is known for seemingly impossible feats. But Stephanie Case's recent performance — six months after giving birth — is making waves far beyond the running community.
