The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Every time Harrison Butker misses a kick a woman gets admitted to college.

Enjoying all the Earth, Wind & Fire in my feed for September 21. They were my very first concert as a 13 year old in Nashville, TN. Saw them at the Nashville Colisseum.

America 2025.

What movie do you consider "perfect"? "I don't ski" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmfG...

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

When your friend AnnMarie Jensen is running for Lafayette City Council (Boulder County) you get a bluegrass fundraiser on a lovely Sunday afternoon with the Flatirons as a backdrop. www.annmarieforlafayette.net

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

A memorial-service reminder that there are no feelings about Kirk you are required to "respect." He was an unregenerate bigot and misogynist who seized on a shrewd grift and used it to make our world worse. I fear that we can't yet measure his legacy, but that's all he deserves to be remembered for.

And what I mean is, Klein is out of the coalition. No matter how good his ideas may be, Black voters will not trust him to preserve our interests, and there simply aren’t enough white voters who will convert. Worse, Klein has basically indicated that he’ll accept segregating policy to enact it.

To be more specific: Ezra Klein not only said nice things about Charlie Kirk but *made up nice things* to praise him for. Kirk was an open white supremacist who spread “great replacement” conspiracies and claimed that the end of Jim Crow via the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a mistake. Klein is out.

Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.

@shadihamid.bsky.social remind me again why I shouldn't have left Twitter because it's so influential.

"Pro-life" Marco Rubio kills children.

Six Kirk stories on the NYT home page before you get to a silly little story about the President publicly demanding his political foes be charged with crimes.

More than anything else, I object to this president stealing our time and attention. We can’t even have a Sunday morning without hearing about some insane thing he said and wondering if that insane thing will become real because he’s insane.

Basically a bigoted Wooderson.

Or as @ezraklein.bsky.social would call it, "doing politics the right way."

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

Underrated phenomenon is so many people were already looking for streaming services to cut and Disney basically helped them figure it out.

Considering the tsunami of hate this is going to generate, it took some serious cojones. Thank you Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

“We’re fine with corruption if comes with terrorizing brown people.” Really sums up the MAGA punditocracy.

😕 💵

Finally got around to watching "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" on Amazon Prime & it is, as expected, an excellent if harrowing watch. It is a much more realistic portrayal of the horrors of the Burma-Siam Death railway, & put into further context the museum & family memorials I saw in January.

My favorite #Antifa photo: Patton's Third Army liberating the Mauthausen concentration camp - you can see the tank in the middle. The sign at the back reads, "Spanish anti-fascists salute the liberating forces.'

We bitch a lot about NYT headlines but this one is *chef's kiss* www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Martin Scosese couldn't script this shit.

Basically a bigoted Wooderson.

MSNBC's shameful firing of Matthew Dowd shouldn't be forgotten/overlooked. It came before Kimmel's suspension but reflected the same wrongheaded impulses around Kirk's death that took hold throughout the corporate/elite media. Even worse since that's purportedly the liberal/pro-democracy network.

On the plus side, nobody calls me a fornicating whore several times a day and most of the accounts aren't Russian pornbots.

@perrybaconjr.bsky.social Question for those floating the idea of 'pro-life Democrats': what specific laws and public policies constitute a 'pro-life' candidate? I'm not talking abstract concepts & campaign slogans. What actual public policies and laws are you talking about?

Question for Ezra Klein, David French, & @neeratanden.bsky.social floating the idea of 'pro-life Democrats': what specific laws and public policies constitute a 'pro-life' candidate? I'm not talking abstract concepts & campaign slogans. What actual public policies and laws are you talking about?

@gregsargent.bsky.social I have a whole bunch of friends who are running for office here in Colorado, from General Assembly/state legislative seats to city council. My friend Michael, who's disabled, is running for a state House seat. Doomerism insults them and hurts democracy. Hope is a strategy.

sinclair pulled its kirk tribute six minutes before it was set to air on its abc affiliates

Why do pundits like Ezra Klein always propose bullshit like "Democrats should run anti-abortion candidates" instead of "Republicans should run pro-abortion rights candidates"? Because actual votes - not just polling, actual fucking votes - tell you abortion rights are overwhelmingly popular.

‘Most complaints filed in federal courtrooms do not spend dozens of pages recounting the plaintiff’s “singular brilliance” and “history-making media appearances” in programs like Fallen Champ: The Untold Story of Mike Tyson.’ 🤣

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

@greene.haus The Colorado abortion rights Constitutional ballot measure, Amendment 79, won a majority in ALL EIGHT Congressional districts - including Republican CDs 3, 4, 5, and 8. That includes Lauren Boebert's district, where it was 50% + 157 votes. It got 58% in swing CD 8.

@neeratanden.bsky.social Have you and Ezra completely memory holed that the first test of abortion rights post-Dobbs was the Kansas abortion referendum July 2022, where KS voters rejected an abortion ban in the state Constitution? www.npr.org/sections/202...

@neeratanden.bsky.social Fun fact: we put abortion rights, without gestational limits, in the Colorado Constitution in 2024 with 62% of the vote. We won majority in EVERY Congressional district, including the Republican ones. That includes Lauren Boebert's district, where we got 50% + 157 votes.

This is not just idiotic, it's political suicide. If you want Democrats to *lose*, run against abortion rights. I speak from the experience of winning on abortion rights in Colorado for 15 years, including putting abortion rights in our Constitution in 2024 with 62% of the vote.

scramble you little shits, scramble

Hulu and Disney plus are now offering 70% off subscriptions, and in response I am offering Hulu and Disney plus 70% off deez nuts.

A&M has been a shitshow from the moment John Sharp set foot on campus. Now that a former GOP legislator is UT chancellor, and a former state senator is chair of the UT Board of Regents, higher ed in Texas has become completely politicized. What a disgrace. Homer Rainey is spinning in his grave.

Still the best, most honest appraisal of Olivia Nuzzi out there. Read it again and then ask yourself what in the hell is Vanity Fair thinking?

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
