Was not ready for the jump-scare final line of this otherwise lovely and astute NYT comment

what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 🧵 👇

This super sweet female young cat was found in Bushwick. She's currently staying on a terrace because the cats living in that house are not very friendly, and she is looking for either a foster or a forever home. If anyone can help, please send me a DM

Happy President’s Day

"Did you really think I would not be angry just because you confessed? Truth, George, is a lovely quality in a youth. But do you know what is even lovelier? The capacity not to hack up your parents’ cherry tree for no goddamn reason."

Emily Brontë, in a room full of publishers, walks to a chalkboard and writes "Wuthering Height." Then she adds an S to Height and draws two lines through it, making a dollar sign. The rest is history

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

The NYT says Democratic proposals for reforming ICE are “facing blowback.” But blowback from who? Not the people! Polls show support for most reforms exceeds 60%, with some ideas reaching as high as 94% of the public! substack.com/@gelliottmor...

I'm in @mcsweeneys.net today writing about The Big Game

Ring hoping people love dogs more than they hate ICE

If this chant somehow broke out in a WWE crowd, fucking HHH's music would hit and he would legit start tear-gasing the first few front rows.

random Yale law professor: jeffrey you naughty dog.... will i be seeing you at this year's Skull Size Forum or will you be busy with your hobbies ;) JE: we must invent trans phobia,,

Ma'am this is a Wendy's

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I wanna see Gritty eat an ICE agent.

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

In light of Democrats calling for more "training" for ICE, this passage from my book Copaganda seems relevant:

Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

Was not prepared for how Marcus Spears pronounces the word 'alarming'

On this week’s #PoliticalScene podcast, Robert Kagan discusses the pressures facing American democracy, the security of elections, and how these domestic tensions interact with the collapse of international norms. Listen here. swap.fm/l/tny-tps-Awdxs

"I hefted the wrought iron fishing stick, felt its familiar leaden weight. 'Teach a man to fish…' I said, smiling wistfully. The forest enclosed me like some sort of massive tree convention at the Javits Center."

Apropos of, uh, everything, here's a spoof toy ad by me and @jlongo.bsky.social for the latest edition of @currentaffairs.bsky.social

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔

[Al Michaels calling the kick return from Dark Knight Rises] would you look at that. meanwhile you got uh. Ward. how do you figure
