The feeling of having experienced firsthand the topic of Jay Rosen’s latest analysis.

"You’ve lived through several waves of feminism, and they’ve culminated in two women who were among the most qualified candidates in US presidential history losing to the same misogynistic con artist." #McSweeneysTop25of2025

OMG bring on the #Caturday, people

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

Merrick Garland reads the news over a cup of herbal tea at 10am. "Golly!," he exclaims, before turning to his wife. "Ah well, nothing anyone could have done to prevent this." Wordlessly, she shatters the glass holding her 5-1 vodka-to-OJ screwdriver, leaves. Maybe he'll clean up that mess at least

If you haven't seen them, the PS2 25TH chorus now at the inauguration are stars of Facebook. www.facebook.com/PS22Chorus

It may be below freezing, but that's not deterring bundled-up attendees from watching Zohran Mamdani's inauguration on the front steps of City Hall. Watch as the crowd fills up and settles in to watch the speeches and performances ahead.

Tune in to WNYC NOW for live coverage of Mayor Mamdani's inauguration, with Fordham University professor @cmgreer.bsky.social & Harry Siegel from The City. wnyc.org, 93.9FM and AM820.

Data!!

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

Rather than playing insipid holiday music #FromtheSoundboard will go through the discography of #RoyAyers and listen to some of the lesser known gems on Tuesday, Dec 23 at midnight. (That's Monday into Tuesday) https://rebrand.ly/FTSB-RoyNeoSoul#FromtheSoundboard#RoyAyersfusicology @WBAI

Yashar Ali has the spiked 60 Minutes segment on his Substack. See the story Canadian viewers watched that was withheld from US viewers. https://loom.ly/6Ab3IMo

The mere fact of takeout rotisserie chicken is almost enough to make me believe in a higher power.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Which, for folks who don't already know, are revelations that have been covered in, at the least, every book or magazine article about climbing Everest published over the past three decades — the ur-text being Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air.

I wrote this about the fuller history behind Marco Rubio's banning of a woke font. Hitler did it, too. I also explore the history of Times New Roman. With this, I'm honored to make my first appearance in Katie Couric Media. @katiecouric.bsky.social katiecouric.com/news/opinion...

Oh, how we rolled our eyes during grad school at the University of Oregon boys wearing shorts year-round. Winters in Eugene back then featured three kinds of weather: chilly rain, cold rain, and icy cold rain that freezes your hands to your handlebars.

I thought this exact same thing last night. In fact, for the first time since my partner (who practically worshipped Carl Reiner) died four years ago, I thought, "I am almost glad Patrick isn't alive to see this."

What a time to be alive!

Or instead, we could just tightly restrict gun ownership like you do in the UK, and finally put a stop to nearly all this obscene carnage.

Adding -ism to every person or website that thinks I'm a big ol dummy and calling it a structural problem with America.

Variant: A point for each of these (or contemporary revival device. I.e. new cassette players) you’ve used in the past year. My score is 8.

Belated #Caturday

Imagine the headquarters campus Google could build in its place!

I’m not a number, I’m a free woman! MWAH HA HA HA HA…

The Salt Lake Tribune, which went from for-profit to non-profit 6 years ago, is about to drop its paywall. "The Tribune cannot afford to limit who has access to independent and trusted news." Meanwhile, it just launched a new newspaper in southern Utah. www.sltrib.com/news/2025/11...

The reporter labels this turn “pragmatic”. Pragmatism would be getting off a dead-end energy source as fast as possible. This is short-termism www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/b...

Still struggling with being in the quantum reality where "The White House says the president does not actually want to execute Democratic members of Congress" is an actual news story.

@wnyc.org Please, please stop giving credence to this idea that this monolith called "Jewish New Yorkers" is uniformly terrified about Mayor-elect Mamdani. One in three New York Jews who voted, voted for Mamdani per CNN exit poll. www.cnn.com/election/202...

Wut? “In the Trump administration’s paradigm, gender “ideology” stands in contrast to an understanding of biology that divides nearly all animal and plant species into males with small, mobile reproductive cells and females with large, immobile ones.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/u...

Portland: “I burned, I burn, I will always burn. I take up the space in your skull reserved for cities on fire.”

Haha, holy shit. They had to update the headline. "no, no, we're talking about THOSE women"

Did Women of Valor Ruin the Workplace? I tried to buy some real estate, but by the time I considered it, she already considered it AND bought it AND planted a vineyard there by her own labors. And whenever I complain to HR, her loins are girded with strength and her arms strengthened with might.

This question by the way is literally just what Gamergate was about just expanded to the rest of society. Gamergate was literally "Did Women Ruin Video Games?"

1) NO 2) hell no

DID WOMEN RUIN THE WORKPLACE? - Ghostwritten by that guy in your office that always jokes about women bleeding for 7 days and not dying.

"why can't you get a job, missy?" The largest newspaper in America this morning:

I can’t read this piece because I’m stupid enough as it is, I can’t risk being made any stupider.

"Did Women Ruin the Workplace?"

Did women ruin the workplace? Is the white race genetically superior? Was 9/11 a controlled demolition? Are my dental fillings receiving secret CIA broadcasts?

Und ich frage euch: DID WOMEN RUIN THE WORKPLACE??
