Dorothy Parker's Cat on her Bed, 1937.

Age yourself with a movie you saw in a theater as a kid.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

If he is really worried about democracy, he could tell all of us what Donald Trump whispered in his ear before he jumped.

Suddenly autumn outside my office window.

like i was saying

if Tylenol wins their upcoming lawsuit against the Federal Government…

I might play this as my alarm every morning for the next month

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.

As a former alt-weekly staffer, yes to this.

Father Coughlin says what?

“. In the early 1970s, then-President Richard Nixon and his top aides discussed using the FCC's license renewal process to punish the Washington Post for its coverage of the Watergate burglary, which ultimately brought down his presidency.” www.reuters.com/business/med...

What is the only Massachusetts property of the local broadcast station owner that seemingly set in motion the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel? Why it's WWLP, the ratings leader in Greater Springfield. And it is not even an ABC affiliate. wmasspi.com/2025/09/amid...

Does this mean Brendan Carr follows the cast of Glee on Twitter?

The address to target is: Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution 500 S. Buena Vista St. Burbank, CA 91521-3515

This.

Maybe I’ll get to finish Only Murders in the Building one day. Easy enough to cancel my Disney + subscription.

We’re going to all have to get better/more serious about boycotts. It’s one arrow in the quiver, but hitting the wallet does work.

Wild watching a man who wrote a column urging the Democrats to act boldly that was reasonably well-praised, only to torch whatever good will he accumulated two weeks later by urging his readers to accommodate authoritarianism.

I thought the point of an opposition party was to slow down the authoritarian take over of the country. Not help it along. Some Democrats: Still Not Getting It.

This thread. 👇

First tariff bill arrived today via UPS, added $35.40 to the $150 the product cost. ($20.40 in US Customs Tax, $15 "Brokerage Fee" to UPS)

It seems like our presence in the streets on the 18th is pretty important.

reminder: when they come for you it won't matter what you *actually* said or did, they don't care about that

That this thread was posted by a sitting U.S. Senator is... notable. This isn't speculation. Miller is being clear about his (and the Trump regime's) intention to use the tragedy in Utah to delegitimize, demoralize, and further disempower the opposition party. The hypocrisy re: free speech is acute.

Chuckie and Hakeem better get it the hell together, and I hope Kirsten is well along in the process of getting the help she needs after her recent public radio meltdown.

A throw away line I always use with interview subjects for my magazine is, “You’ll be able to read this interview 30 years from now when you pull the magazine out of whatever box you stored it in. Good luck finding any of the ones that were only online.”

At a magazine publishing conference: panel of three printers, two from Europe and one from the US. Care to take a wild guess as to who is most disadvantaged by the Trump tariffs?

“There is no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign, and refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

This unprompted text is from an older friend who is a doctor and very political and well-informed of the news. Congrats to everyone in the media who force-fed the right’s whitewashed hagiography to a mass audience that didn’t know or care about any of this because they’re not mainlining Twitter

Well, finally used the new bookmark function.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Today's assignment in history is to familiarize yourself with "Horst Wessel"

What a great image to use on a poster for the next No Kings protest.

I’m hopeful this implies the existence of a crocheted Robert Mapplethorpe.

I'm no management expert, but are threats of violence an indicator that a workplace is really humming along?

This is the assignment. Get everyone you know to show up. This is not a drill. I repeat. This is not a drill. Spread the word, far and wide. OCTOBER 18th. www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

You live in a country where a contestant from MTV’s Real World/Road Rules Challenge now runs NASA, part-time.

Disney/ESPN will likely comply (given past lack of courage) but why would a foreign network covering the Open comply? They would end up with the footage that will get all the clicks and shares.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Remember this. The Nazis were defeated by geologists and car mechanics and school teachers and milkmen. Ordinary people from all over the world who risked their own lives to put the fascists in the ground where they belong.

I hope someone with one of those high powered projectors drives around DC projecting an image it on buildings.

It annoys me more than most accounts on here so I finally blocked it. In the event the New York Times starts doing journalism again will one of you tell me so I can unblock it.

Selectively revoking constitutional rights for vulnerable minority groups is a GIGANTIC red flag. The reddest possible flag.
