Lol 17 runs allowed in 15 innings by the Mets, just let this season end

Republicans fought so hard for my right to a plastic straw and now they want to take away the margarine I drink with it

Cannot wait for the eye monster to get hold of Boy Kavalier tonight

"Blame Both" is a loser for the party in power.

I know Johnson & Johnson only partially owns Tylenol these days, but it's still hilarious they spent $1MM to get dragged like this www.newsweek.com/american-bus...

It's not quite kayaking in the Gowanus Canal, but... c'mon people. What are you thinking? I say this as someone who once swam in the Hudson.

A good read. And it will be mordantly humorous when the Fed gives Trump his rate cuts and the resulting inflation sinks the GOP.

How it started (at 4AM)...

Dolan, Kirk, and Patel will meet in Valhalla

ALERT: YOUNG AMERICANS FALLING FOR "POP MARXISM"

Ugh so much Discourse about a small think tank with plans to tell scared donors what they want to hear.

A good piece on Bibi unbound, though with the same blind spot as most US coverage. Only touches on the West Bank in that they quote a settler extremist saying Bibi is great. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/w...

Halal cart always tastes better after a long night of focus groups

Yes pls gothamist.com/news/no-more...

This is a really critical point, and it was one reason why a lot of things (incl Projects 2025) were hard to hang on Trump. He had been President before, and that made people skeptical of the worst consequences of Trump's 2024 promises.

I was not expecting a Norwegian sweep at the IM championship Nice, and wouldn't have guessed which Norwegian would be leading at this point.

Yes, I am watching Instagram videos of guys putting bikes in racks. No, I am not going to stay up all night for the IM World Championship in Nice. Thank god the women will race in Kona next month.

Somewhat surprised Fox News didn't jump on the Helldivers reference to attack every Democrat who has made a statement about defending democracy.

I'm looking at GOP mail on Long Island and it's still the 1980s

Imagine looking at the conservative media ecosystem in this country and deciding that the left has a big problem because of Bluesky.

I can't tell you how to spend your weekend, but consider this approach www.youtube.com/watch?v=EytP...

Wish I had more fully immersed myself in the savage culture of WHPK; it would have been more useful to understanding our current moment than anything I picked up in a U of C classroom.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf is 2019, but...

The subsidies are too narrow an ask, but there's good reason for Dem leadership to make a shutdown fight about healthcare.

The right moves seamlessly between "too soon to politicize" and aggressive, immediate politicization because they understand how propaganda functions. They are quick to harness, and attempt to shame their opponents out of harnessing the energy of a moment. From Ellul:

If Charlie Kirk was practicing politics the right way, that suggests Ezra Klein's objection to Trump's fascism is mostly aesthetic.

My family was the victim of gun violence when I was young and the reverberations continue decades later.

The ultimate luxury is physical controls for climate and audio

Watching this in honor of Wu's 49-point margin yesterday m.youtube.com/watch?v=rLwb...

I don't think Duchamp really wrote it

What would the US diplomatic response be if this happened to one of our citizens abroad?

Age verification? 5 1/4 floppies and 2400 baud

Cannot deal with Israel attacking Qatar as the second scariest geopolitical story of the day

I suspect the tax cuts wealthy people expect from GOPs blind them to deleterious policies for their businesses, but I'm still shocked that the industries most vulnerable to tariffs and mass deportations didn't spend politically against Trump as a hedge.

I have been pooped on by a bird in DC where the fuck was the national guard

I know Bibi needs forever war, yet I am still surprised at the lines he will cross to get it. I think I have still not adjusted to a world where the US puts zero guardrails on Israel.

Picturing Danny McBride saying "it's like punching the American flag right in the face" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

It is insane to me that rich constituencies are mobilizing like this around Zohran but nothing comparable happened when Trump was promising to destroy entire industries through tariffs and mass deportations.

Me, looking at the grifters getting paid in the Mayoral:

Wooooo it's Christmas morning. A few quick thoughts before I catch a flight to DC... 1/

Political polling often offers respondents false choices, then draws conclusions based on misleading results. Without qualitative research it's sometimes hard to know where voters see the fault lines versus where insiders do. 1/

I spent my childhood (sometimes literally) in the shadow of this Stonewall Jackson monument. Kara Walker has a wonderful facility for marrying complex ideas and simple truths, in addition to producing aesthetically excellent work. This is a triumph. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/a...

Right on time from Tip's record club

We live in the dumbest possible timeline.

I used to joke that Idiocracy was a documentary but honestly I'll be happy if things turn out that well.

There is so much money to be made right now selling a fantasy to rich people about stopping Mamdani. I am a fool, I should be out grifting like a madman. Could pay for my kids' college.

Imagine Alien Earth, but instead of a xenomorph it's this costume.
