I'd like to say, How are you so good at this? How can you out-bama Obama? And maybe the answer is, You're just a normal guy having fun with kids--and that seems bizarre in our political climate. Also, yes, your first name is Mayor now.

The security line for Springsteen at the Pru Center is worse that the worst day at Newark. 40 mins so far.

We didn't deserve this day.

This is a problem that a few nuns with rulers, the metal ones, could quickly solve.

This is evangelical thinking. Vance Says the Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/u...

This is a great policy. Next up, I hope: taxing owners of storefronts after six months of their being empty.

Why St Martins isn't pushing THE DANGEROUS CASE OF DONALD TRUMP again, I don't know, but good to see the Times mention it. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

Why is the Times devoting one jot of ink to Bezos's wife when they should be lionizing his ex, who actually supplies value to the world?

Iran posted this. What a humiliation for Trump.

Note how people look at Mamdani like he's a rock star. Because he is. And oh how that grinds the Republican pukes.

Forget citizenship. Can you imagine the extra fees the airline charged for the baby?

The promise of passive income is that poor people can live like the rich people who have interest income, that is, money for doing nothing. www.joanwestenberg.com/the-passive-...

The art of pitch framing: note where Wells caught the pitch outside the strike zone, then where he snapped his glove to so the pitch seemed like a strike (and K) to the ump. He won't get away with this much longer, esp when teams have a runner on second who can signal the batter to challenge.

He's a fake Catholic and that ugly church on the front cover is Methodist.

Trump started his own hostage crisis in Iran--and he's the hostage.

Still from the new Brett Ratner series responding to HEATED RIVALRY.

And now I see the deficiency in my 8 years of CCD.

Great piece on, essentially, how the Trumpers--who love to cosplay as soldiers and imagine themselves as a manly muscley fighting machine full of hard men from hard places--would be quickly annihilated when facing actual soldiers. acoup.blog/2026/03/13/c...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

You know, I thought the picture of the medieval door at the Essex Cathedral with a cat door would be the best thing I'd see today.

The defining characteristic of MAGA is that they are dumb and have the knowledge of an 8yo.

Now THIS is how you do Paris. youtu.be/4q8wZ15ALz4?...

To use their own term, Why aren't they GRATEFUL...? Because they think, as "real Americans, it's not welfare, they deserve it.

Great piece on this freak Clavicular. Makes me realize that the subject of most trend pieces are just the latest freak, not an actual trendsetter. Nice to have a heuristic by which to judge future freaks. The Captivating Derangement of the Looksmaxxing Movement www.newyorker.com/culture/crit...

@aresluna.org Thanks for the scroll lock essay. Now I understand why I hate the increasingly worse Netflix interface. (I will not scream about how choosing a show in the main menu screen starts the first episode instead of taking you to a show description with buttons for the episodes.)

Anyone else think that international support for Trump's murder of Iran's leader is less of the NATO type and more of the "Sure, stick those bottle rockets in your ass and light them. Great idea. We're all behind you."

Patrick Swindle is the CEO operating the Dilley concentration camp. There are people behind this. They must go to prison.

Fantastic video about taking on phone scammers. youtu.be/xsLJZyih3Ac?...

Folks outside SF/F don't know that Asimov was a sexual harasser because while he was alive fandom thought it was cute (up to and including Asimov being invited to give a lecture on "The Power of Positive Posterior Pinching" at Worldcon, which he, wisely, declined). daily.jstor.org/asimovs-empi...

This is how Shakespeare is meant to be performed: not declaimed as poetry with each line reduced to a dead pronouncement, but as if spoken by a person, patiently, to someone who is listening and responding and, who, in this case needs convincing.

Are they saying that America can solve the problem of white male slop, which has been inbreeding mediocrity for centuries, in one fell swoop?

I went to the nearest Barnes & Noble and awkwardly explained to someone at the help desk that I had a new book out and asked where it might be (it's genre fluid) and it was faced out (!) Then she took some pictures, had me sign their books, and said they'd already sold a copy. A win/win/win.

@bretdevereaux.bsky.social In case you didn't know, the text note on p183 of THE TOWER AND THE RUIN by Michael DC Drout.

The one good thing about Tuberville is everyday he wakes up and justifies our low opinion of Alabamans.

Trump's death squad goons are the new lanternflies--and I couldn't wait to report lanternflies.
