Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Cheers to everyone going back to #sdcc #sandiego #comiccon Not too soon to start planning www.youtube.com/shorts/Mi6QA...

Oh, that’s a good one.

Today is the birthday of cartoonist & illustrator Alex Raymond (Oct. 2, 1909-Sept. 6, 1956). He is most known as the creator of the comic strip Flash Gordon, but he also created or cocreated the comic strips Secret Agent X-9, Jungle Jim, and Rip Kirby.

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well. youtu.be/Dt4mrxNWQWs?...

James Earl Carter Jr. (October 1, 1924 – December 29, 2024) was an American politician and humanitarian who served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. #stem en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_C...

SCOOP / UPDATE — Disney saw more than 1.7 million total paid streaming cancelations during the period 9/17-9/23, a Disney source confirms to me. The total includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Cut the bullshit distractions. Release the Epstein Files.

Disregarding decades of scientific study by the best minds on the plant and instead proclaiming vitamin supplements (that you also just happen to sell) as a "cure" for a complex spectrum of conditions is the LEAST surprising news from a government composed of social media gym bro wellness grifters.

Storm’s a-coming.

Happy Batman Day!

@lubach.nl Thank you for this ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vRX...

This guy is a goddamn patriot.

And to be clear the merger between Tenga and Nextstar *shouldn’t* go through. It blows past the FCC limits of local stations that one company is supposed to own. But Carr was expected to change the rules bc they *want* right wing media conglomeration

Do not allow journos to retcon history like this. Olivia Nuzzi was fired because her fiance Ryan Lizza and her former employer New York Magazine found out she was sexting presidential candidate RFK Jr while she was reporting on the incumbent president Joe Biden's reelection campaign.

Capitulation never works. He fired everyone he was told to fire and they still forced him out. The Blue Scare

*gestures to everything*

I don't know which morons need to hear this, but THESE GUYS WERE ANTIFA, every last one of them. They fought fascists.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

The old gods are dying, let's build something new. Canceling Disney +, Amazon and Paramount? This thread has worthy sources of news and opinion you can support, but also sources of joy and entertainment. Starting with Mike and Techdirt.

Fuck yes to this

DOJ Deletes Study Linking Most Domestic Terrorism to the Far Right They must have seen us posting all those charts and decided to hide the data.

Listen, all I’m saying is that I’ve seen more pictures of Donald Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell than I have of Donald Trump playing with his children Barron & Tiffany.

The ad campaign criticizing the use of masks by federal agents working in Washington, D.C. has expanded to 115 bus stops, per organizers

Sending troops into US cities against their will. Strong-arming corporations and extracting gifts in exchange for tariff exemptions. Calling on state governments to gerrymander in his favor. Trump is the "big government" nightmare conservatives have always warned us about.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮

Behold! My cherished copy of Lois Lane #80! An anonymous former owner altered the iconic Kurt Swan cover's Superman into a beatnik saying "hey, baby, cool off!" Would I trade this for a "mint" copy? Are you serious?

Good morning.

Maybe it’s going to be at one of the local Universities today

Do you have access to the EPSTEIN Files? Want to be inducted into the Whistleblower's Hall of Fame, be glorified in history as the Savior of Democracy & have an annual holiday named in your honor? All of this can be yours if you simply: #LeakTheEPSTEIN-Files!* *victim's names redacted, of course
