I feel like the 2 AM poasters are my people I have taken all the sleeping drugs and am still awake. And all you good poasters are here too

Jamelle Bouie and Tressie McMillam Cotton punch so far above everyone else at NYT There ought to be a whole paper of people that good. They have the resources for it. They just don’t want to be brilliant all the time, only a few days a week

Count of Monte Cristo is a perfect costume drama *also book

Michael Douglas is the subject of Skip Gates’ newest Finding Our Roots and is some distant cousin to my dad — who died when I was 8 I am about to learn more about my dad’s family than I have ever known

Terrible inside baseball: the wife of the heir to the Murdoch/Trump’s PR firm just won the Pulitzer Prize for drama We can all celebrate this meritocratic achievement

It is really, really, really gross to see so many supposed progressives dismiss the seriousness of a Nazi tattoo, participation in fascist podcasts, Blackwater, and a trove of sexist/racist comments.

Antisemitism is real and growing. We must fight hate. Assaults against U.S. Jews reach 46-year high www.axios.com/2026/05/06/a...

I got to have lunch with my favorite professor from college and it always makes me happy and also I got to be 19 again

Supreme Court has several levers to pull in helping Republicans: which cases to take, when to rule on them, how to rule. Republicans & Corporate Media, desperate to maintain the legitimacy of the Republican Court, focus solely on the last one that only seems somewhat pro-Republican in isolation.

Intense Double Rainbow over Sears Tower on Monday evening in Chicago.

In Denmark, on May 4, everyone puts a candle in the window to celebrate the eve of liberation, when citizens at last tore down their blackout curtains after five years of Nazi occupation Danes put candles in their windows 81 years ago to celebrate lights at last were going on all over Europe

We simply are not getting the same INFLATION & RECESSION level of breathless coverage that we did in <checks notes> 2022-23 when Joe Biden was president.

Congratulations to @brian-goldstone.bsky.social for his well-deserved Pulitzer Prize for "There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America," one of the most important books of the 21st century.

Today, the day of the Met Gala, the unionized workers of the Met posted this image to their Instagram. www.instagram.com/p/DX64ioYjecG/

This is the first time in @texasmonthly.bsky.social’s history that the Pulitzers have honored its work. This announcement made me emotional with relief. A lot things feel unfair in this industry these days, and nobody deserves this recognition more than Aaron. www.texasmonthly.com/press-room/s...

Wow, the NYT really campaigned hard to get Azeen Ghorayshi a Pullitzer for her transphobic reporting and podcast. She didn't get it but was a finalist for it despite several trans subjects of her reporting and their families speaking out about they felt betrayed by her coverage and framing.

Anyway: I remain concerned that the's a big liability for Democrats and the party needs a plan B for a big faceplant from this asshole.

AND THEN THE ABOLISH ICE SNOWPLOW. Every year, the MNDoT has a naming contest for new snowplows, and every year people submit the suggestion "ABOLISH ICE," and every year they do not put that one up for the vote. Even though it would definitely win.

The struggle the pod bros are referencing here is Mein Kampf

I have been corrected: he was practicing medicine without a license And is now in charge of the licensing board

Editor friends, etc: Would anybody be interested in publishing an article putting today's mifepristone decision into historical context? I am a historian of abortion and boy howdy, have I got something to say

IT'S RIGHT ON YOUR FUCKING WEBSITE, KEN. democrats.org/news/icymi-d...

Once upon a time I pitched a game show with a fancy tv producer and it was called “prisoners dilemma” I don’t remember the rules or really much of the premise but it did get optioned for $0 The option lapsed

Happy May Day, my friends. Remember, we deserve more than a bite of the pie or a seat at the table. We deserve the world.

A year ago at the neurologist I got a question wrong on the cognitive test and was so mad because Trump is so much better at this But this year, I got 100% so now I’m smarter than Obama

If LLM’s are trained on the bulk of all human literature and contain human historic prejudices then they will definitely murder all the Jews

Come work with us! Two spots open. One is for an elections reporter: job-boards.greenhouse.io/buzzfeed/job...

I hope @nickjudin.bsky.social doesn’t mind me saying this, but I got a peek behind the scenes this week and can tell you he put his whole heart—and his considerable reporting chops—into helping this family tell the world what ICE did to them. NYT repeated his work w/o care or credit. Infuriating.

It’s only a pillowcase with eyes A drunken youthful mistake noose

Democrats: the party of Nazi tattoos A+ branding comms team

Even after its editorial board called the decision "a mind-boggling piece of judicial overreach," with this headline, the #BrokenTimes news desk insists on covering modern Jim Crow from the perspective of the racist right.

Wow @kenmartin.bsky.social is a truly terrible spokesman for the DNC As defensive at Trump and almost as coherent

As a technical matter if you are 8 miles offshore and 6 feet down, you are basically bobbing at the surface

now a megachurch can take millions from a billionaire to run ads and billboards that say “jesus says vote maga” and the billionaire gets to take a tax deduction!

A soldier stationed at Fort Polk army base in Louisiana was arrested after threatening a mass shooting toward synagogues, DOJ says.

Should you buy the Public Scholar? Yes, and you should also have your department buy one for each of your grad students. And maybe some of your undergrads too. But don't take it from me ...

ICE is tearing families apart and terrorizing communities. Jewish leaders and community members won’t stand idly by. On 4/30, join us in rejecting ICE’s cruelty and violence when we gather in cities across the country. Find events near you https://bit.ly/4d5Eq8U #JewsDemandICEOut

My former men’s journal & maxim editors now edit single issue mags like THE ROMAN EMPIRE which fly off the racks in airports, B&N, Whole Foods etc — they are all AI written, printed in hundreds of thousands, and always sell out

Guys I saw the last sentence of my book for the first time in edits Huge milestone *will see it 1000x more, but so happy to see it again here now

Ok my meta AI glasses suck at reading It will only summarize and not just…read

Republicans laughed at Paul Pelosi, and the president said nothing about Melissa Hortman.

The most vain man on earth — who says he’s a lean 180 — must wear kevlar long johns we insist for the good of the country

Even if we had a White House ballroom, the White House press shouldn’t be partying there This should be an adversarial process, particularly with this White House

I do not recall Republicans being asked on the Sunday shows about the tone of rhetoric after Trump & Vance called people vermin & enemies & worse both before & after Democratic politicians were actually assassinated in Minnesota, a thing we have totally memory-holed in the National Conversation™️

Can we all agree we never need to have another White House correspondents dinner

A bar in every hospital

Peter Doocy: Why do you think this keeps happening to you? Trump: "I studied assassinations" and "the most impactful people ... Abraham Lincoln ... the people that do the most ... they're the ones they go after." "I hate to say I'm honored by that, but we've done a lot."
