Nadine Hurley and Mike Nelson go public

Rigor Tortoise

This is how you want to start your morning

If you don’t have the Criterion Channel, I’d recommend getting their free trial just for the “Starring Harry Dean Stanton” collection available this month. Holy fuck, murderer’s row of fine films.

Harper’s Magazine was founded in NYC in 1850 & has been a treasured publication here since then. But the leadership needs to step up & offer their workers a fair contract, one that pays enough to live here. Right now, they are far behind their peers. (1/2)

Businesses are recognizing the vast wealth inequality in the U.S. and telling the rest of us have-nots to kick rocks. Absolutely infuriating and shit needs to change asap

This is vile. What the fuck is wrong with you people. “It’s obviously perfectly fine to think that the Holocaust was atrocious” like he’s giving permission?

Why did Erdogan just give a bunch of world leaders revolvers? I blame him for getting this song and its sick riff stuck in my head all day

Another excuse to drum Black people out of the military. If I’m not mistaken, this condition is most prominent amongst Black men.

And also, just a different flavor of genocide that they are more accustomed to and like better. Two states is the only way forward.

It’s weird to read this gushing NYT profile about Katz from months ago in the wake of the Platner implosion. This kid also worked with Fetterman, as if that’s a positive resume notch. It seems super rich people who cosplay as working class people all stick together.

I simply would not attempt to make the rape-enthusiast serial liar SS tattoo edgelord failson who cheats on his wife the face of the anti-Israel movement.

Between this and the national guard in Memphis it’s kind of disturbing me (yes I know I’m a member of the media) the degree to which these killings aren’t really breaking thru rn

Trump also referred to the “Islamic Republic of Iran” as the “Islamic Republic of Japan.”

“This is not ok. We cannot normalize the National Guard killing American citizens. They shouldn’t be in Memphis at all. The family deserves answers.” Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social reacts to the news 2 National Guard troops shot and killed Tyrin Johnson in MEMPHIS.

I’m not defending AIPAC by any means, but it’s truly amazing that it’s the only fucking PAC people mention when talking about corrupt democratic politicians. Wonder why that is?

Iran has re-arrested biologist Houman Jokar and conservationist Sepideh Kashani, two members of a wildlife-conservation charity whose arrests on allegations of espionage in 2018 prompted an outcry from the international community. They were pardoned in April, after spending six years in Evin Prison

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

😬

Rahm Emmanuel (checks notes) just called for sanctions on Israeli banks involved in settlement construction in the West Bank. This probably means all Israeli banks

@flaminghydra.com has Tom Tomorrow AND Annalee Newitz today. Subscriptions are only $3/month. If you aren’t subscribed to Flaming Hydra yet, what are you even doing???

No wonder legacy media treat him with kid gloves and discretely wanted him to win—they can publish a billion “stories”/updates a day simply reporting on octogenarian verbal diarrhea and outright lies, offering seemingly no pushback.

“Nothing comes close to what the place actually is, how horrible the place actually is.” Read what Palestinian former political prisoner Leqaa Kordia has to say about the year she spent in ICE jail. https://bit.ly/4vRdNLU

Belgians have a long history of conquering the United States starting in 1989 with the chart topping release of Pump Up the Jam by Belgian band Technotronic youtu.be/9EcjWd-O4jI?...

We've gotten to the asking for proof of life stage of our gerontocracy.

Russia's attack on #Kyiv today killed three people and injured 13 more. Two of the injured are in serious condition. One of the Russian drones struck a 25-story apartment block. Rescuers evacuated an injured child from the building. 📹: State Emergency Service of Ukraine

The fact that he called his 95 votes in a previous election a “Dolly Parton” would make me immediately vote for this dude.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

There are like 4 of these people and they all sound exactly the same and they've all received a soft-focus sympathetic story in the New York Times www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

If I had to guess, one of the only leaders that American Jews would put above Mamdani is Zelenskyy, since he’s also a Jew and a generational example of diaspora greatness.

In case you were wondering, when it happened to me and I came forward, afterward I clocked every single person who gave him opportunities and bylines. Every single one felt like an endorsement of what he had done to me and other women.

Absolutely amazing (and as he should be!) forward.com/news/836468/...

Not to be this guy, but there’s a lot of still-pertinent stuff in here and if you haven’t watched it, you owe it to yourself to do so.

I don’t agree with everything here, but it’s a good op-ed nonetheless. We are in an identity crisis for sure, and a visit to any major social media platform—including this one a lot of the time—will demonstrate how prevalent actual antisemitism again. Never in my life did I think I’d experience it

whoopsie

Everyone in the world can buy Iranian oil except Cuba

How am I looking for consistent work while people like this have widely influential podcasts? Is it because I fuckin curse too much?

Hopefully we can something like this out of Maine in the next week to replace Nazi rapist super kill guy

perhaps we should view nazi tattoos as disqualifying from here on out. i kind of assumed we'd already view them as disqualifying but was unpleasantly surprised so maybe from here we could all agree not to downplay nazi tattoos since they seem pretty indicative of broad disregard for human dignity

Seriously looks like a scene out of the “Watchmen” sequel series

A monster. A rapist.

Holy moly. Please let this lead to peace, for the love of G-d. These people have suffered enough.

Unlikely you'll read about it anywhere outside Israel, because it is not about war crimes and such, but Israel is now facing the very definition of constitutional crisis as Bibi is trying to take over the media and explicitly defying court orders in doing so.

Also here’s a mediocre photo from last night

This is blowing my mind

Happy 4th of July Weekend
