Kaleb's advice in his last piece of published writing is flawless, and we should all do what he says, in his memory, if not for our own good.

Kaleb and I spoke when Shane died, he was awestruck that I knew Shane (very slightly), as he revered the man. This is a beautiful piece of writing and now that they're both gone, I do see some similarities between their beautiful, tortured, sad souls.

Maybe you’ve seen this, too @faceyouhate.bsky.social

I found out this afternoon that Kaleb Horton died suddenly yesterday and I am horribly shocked and sad, not just at the loss of a friend, but at the loss of one of the most talented and humane non-fiction writers around, someone after my own heart in so many ways. A beautiful, kind, vulnerable soul.

Same for Kenosha!

Holy shit, the truth of this observation

Gee whiz, it’s a labor issue

@jasondashbailey.com please predict the capitulation of another shitty institution. Thanks in advance!

OMFG @jasondashbailey.com

That was fast @jasondashbailey.com

This is so smart and perceptive from @jasondashbailey.com Good work, my dude

What a delightful anecdote!

I’m not an acolyte or superfan but let me say: René Girard did not deserve this

Yeah, like Ang Lee‘s HULK

I went with the Bill Murray double feature on TCM (I hadn’t seen MEATBALLS in probably 35 years, and it was as good as I‘d remembered if not better; QUICK CHANGE was new to me other than clips on YouTube that are much better in context) but this is an excellent choice.

It‘s extra hilarious that it could be Kimmel or it could be Mamdani from a distance

Maher may not have „fuck you“ money, but he definitely has „fuck you“ everything else

Did CBS just decide that the Patriots were more worth covering than the Vikings?

@chrissteller.bsky.social I think the Vikes just might pull this out

This is a relatively conservative argument TBH but that Overton window‘s a bitch

This reminds me, I had a lovely interaction with Emo Philips shortly after I moved to Chicago. He chatted me up when we were buying menswear accessories at the Bigsby & Kruthers at Water Tower Place. It was a bit surreal.

Great place to drink DAB, eat dive-bar burgers & sandwiches (Reuben is fine, hot ham & cheese served with pickles even better) with tater tots. I used to try to get there when Jeopardy! was on. Bartender is a sweetheart, likes to jaw.

I met Daniel Biss long before he was elected mayor of Evanston. He seemed like the real deal to me.

I love this movie

🥵

Couldn’t agree more!

Whaaaaaat

Damn, Indian demon lore just dropped

Oh shit @sheilakathleen.bsky.social

I’m old enough to remember when Melissa Harris-Perry was cancelled

it's wild how much cats are just cats no matter what if I fits, I sits, tiger edition

Not Robert Daniels reconstructing Black Twitter with a pan of HIM

The House on Haunted Hill had a pool?!?

I don’t!

@chrissteller.bsky.social ope

Goodnight, I shall leave you with Ingrid Pitt.

Gee, just as Ben Franklin foretold

The funniest thing about right-wing assholes blaming professors for radicalizing/indoctrinating students is not that profs are ineffectual at getting students to follow the most basic instructions, but that students live in a capitalist society that fucks them on the regular. They don’t need a push.
