I had to go to the DMV today and I’m still not recovered from the stress.

The NYT liveblog on the autism press conference is a fascinating read -- largely because it's written by health reporters and not political reporters. Look at how direct and appropriately shocked these posts are! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

It’s almost rapture time!

I needed to work on a travel expense report. SURPRISE! I'm blocked from the system because my grace period on my overdue "cybersecurity training" has expired. Lovely.

I've been surprised by how few of the posts I've seen make that connection. It's embedded in the rhetoric...blame mom.

A leaked Project 2025 questionnaire database appears to reveal the books, thinkers, and dictators some Trump appointees most admire.

trump administration: antifa is a highly organized network of skilled operatives working seamlessly to impede and destroy government activity every anti-fascist I know: oh shit was that last night? i had to work and my phone was dead. oh but I still have your tupperware, get it to you next week?

I think just like that.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Of course it’s the pregnant woman who “causes” autism by taking Tylenol. Sure.

Apparently evangelical TikTok thinks that Tuesday, the 23rd, is the day of the rapture.

A trip to the drug store is just a sh*t show.

Literally anyone with half a fucking working frontal lobe would see this as the false equivalence that it is. The FCC pressuring a company to fire someone for speaking *non disinformation* is not the same as asking media not to spread disinformation. Basic understanding. Really fucking basic.

It truly is amazing how such a fucking moron as Ross Douthat, incapable of doing even the most elementary and balanced analysis, is given a national platform to spew pure, unadulterated bullshit to millions for a handsome salary from the @nytimes.com Makes you see the US as the land of opportunity.

I’m reminded that, in addition to thinking that “asylum-seekers” come from mental health facilities, that many supporters of the current regime likewise misunderstand the meaning of “liberal arts.”

Five years ago I went undercover and met a bunch of guys who love Hitler at Turning Point USA.

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

💋Have you cancelled HULU and DISNEY, yet?💋 The #BoycottDisney #BoycottHulu is starting to work. Put receipts in this post’s comments and I will repost you. PS. I feel silly saying “skeet.” There is also some slang implications.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

These protesters and journalists at the ICE facility in Chicago were arrested and thrown on the ground and had tear gas blasted at them and ICE agents trying to run them over with their cars

Watching a show with Martha Plimpton in it and my God we’re old.

That’s too bad.

They get MEDALS for tenure?!

Jesus Christ. Even my 6YO doesn't Hoover a goddamn plate of pasta like this.

“The suit was filed in June by UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley professors fighting a separate, earlier round of Trump administration grant clawbacks. The University of California is not a party in the case.” www.latimes.com/world-nation...

Update - I want you all to know, this is a significant sacrifice for my wife, who said, and I am quoting this verbatim, “now I can’t watch my international soccer matches on the shittiest fucking app ever made, that’s the whole reason we had that stupid fucking ESPN bundle”

I was at a small govt. agency with about 350 staff, about 70 %PhDs, and no union. Your point is spot on. We organized under Trump 1 after he noticed us. It was too little too late. We lost over 80% of staff. But it wasn’t too late for the next generation who had a union contract under Trump 2.

In other news, Ben or Jerry resigned today from Ben and/or Jerry’s because, as it turns out, Unilever isn’t actually committed to progressive social issues. Imagine being that rich and that dumb! This just in: water is wet.

The total lack of any meaningful resistance put up by university “leadership” will not stand up to scrutiny as some future interpreters seek to make sense of this time.

This tweet from @brianstelter.bsky.social reminded me: I have FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's cell phone number — because the FCC accidentally revealed it in response to a FOIA request. (They forgot to redact it.) I sent him a text for comment.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

I wonder when folks will realize that that border is for keeping them in.

Those purported text messages read like

I’m fucking pulling myself outta Disney, HuLu, ESPN 💅

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

Oh. Ok. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
