Our ceasefire — brought to you by hawks and hotheads!

“Opportunities Narrow for Women with Hegseth in charge.” And there’s that razor-sharp political acumen that says, “Seriously damage and alienate 50% of the population and watch the votes roll in!”

This Bastille Day, I implore Americans to look past the pétanque, the savory crepes and the coq au vin to the actual events celebrated by this holiday. Et quoi pouvons-nous a faire? (Ne me correctez pas, je vous en pris.)

Woot! It took forever but who else thought it would never happen?

Abolish ICE. Don’t even think of voting for a Democrat who doesn’t make abolishing ICE an urgent priority. ICE are murdering people in the street.

England and Argentina play on Wednesday — we yanks have three days to figure out what 20:00 is.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

Sheesh. Not the news I expected but I’ll take it.

No one’s interested in what you have to say.

I’m cheering for Norway because I’m Irish. Make sense?

My new hobby is burning with jealousy over people I’ve never met’s romantic hookups.

It would be nice if the media was as interested in Ken Paxton as they are in Graham Platner.

You had me at brain dead

Vile: Mike Johnson just said GOP might try to undo birthright citizenship with legislation, which is unconstitutional. I've noticed a pattern: He and Vance are using sleazy new language to sell this as a trivial reform. The threat is very much alive. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2127...

A rescued swan 🦢 hugging the vet who saved its life, the sweetest thank you ever.💞

Loving all the defeats, no matter how big or how small. #weredyingslowly

Me to my niece: How bout that wedding, huh? Taylor and Travis. My niece: Who are they? Tennis people? 🤯

It’s been six months since the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Here is how the federal government has stonewalled investigations, and how Minnesota law enforcement is attempting to push for accountability anyway

It’s a beautiful evening, the National Mall is open and people are having a wonderful time.

Give this photo the Pulitzer. My fellow Black folks, we've all been in this situation before, n'est-ce pas? I felt this one.

Pink building Palestine, IL

Is that camel still missing in Indiana?

There is good in the world!

This is horrific. Can the law really have been followed? It all feels heedless and clearly politically driven (which law enforcement admitted, but too late).

Should Europe get air conditioning? Is the pope part High Church but not quite Catholic Catholicism?

Mamdani won because he had ideas and he talked about them. And we talked about them. He made doing politics the actual center of what he was up to, but practical, nuts ‘n bolts politics like “free buses.” Not rhetoric or a constant appeal to our wallets. Ideas. That’s where we’re heading, Dems.

we are not “self-hating jews”; we are not antisemites; we are proud jews who also believe in the human rights of palestinians. we have proved those things can and do very much coexist, something that seemed impossible not long ago. we are a constituency and we have a voice.

Dire news — sci/enviro journalism jobs disappearing because who needs info about THOSE things?

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

For shame. Rampant cruelty, an abandonment of the duty of care.

Hahaha

People online are so obsessed with Widow’s Bay. And I’m dying to watch it but not enough to pay for another streaming platform. Stalemate! Shrugsville!

This is not part of the agreement. He is making this up. Iran agrees to give up NOTHING on their nuclear program in this deal.

The way I end a war is I threaten to resume bombing.

Dieting tip: Eat a robustly hearty, veg-forward salad for lunch and get violently sick; your appetite won’t return for an eon.

Is everybody else weeping over David Remnick’s Knicks coverage? “Tarry still,” he tells New Yorkers in a post called “Savor the Joy.” You can’t overstate the poetic perfection of a long-frustrated wish coming true for sports fans.

The four most negligible words ever to grace a headline: Trump Calls for Restraint

I fully support Knicks fans being absolute psychos because if the Lions ever won a super bowl Detroit would look like Stalingrad.

Not much happening. I guess I’ll go back to trying to understand the first sentence of that Rachel Cusk essay. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The Kennedy Center, the Kennedy Center, the Kennedy Center, the Kennedy Center!

Academic writing should be addressed neither to the public nor to other academics. It should be addressed to a single interlocutor with whom you have a petty rivalry and whose work you are trying to discredit

SPEECHLESS. LFGK

Whaaaaat?

Mirra Andreeva wins the French Open!! This is awesome. She looked unbeatable playing Kostyuk and it turns out she was.

Some say Mamdani’s policies will make billionaires leave NYC — I say, good, my god, we have way too many and they drive up the rents. #adios
