The broader project is pretty obviously fash, but from one moment to the next the model is clearly running the whole country like an unusually insane HOA.

It is crazy that I just had to put this PSA on LinkedIn. LINKEDIN!

some professional news: due to various insensitive comments made in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder, I have fired @michaelhobbes.bsky.social from the If Books Could Kill podcast. the show will continue as usual, with me playing the role of both michael and peter

If anyone needs an investigative hack for oppo research/comms ideas, i do pro bono. If you're thinking about trying journalism, happy to play uncle/champion. (Esp. if you don't look like me.) Signal in bio

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

The chutzpah of these people, jesus christ

FWIW, when I left the Post, Karen checked in on me. She's been a consistent friend of mine and I miss working with her. She risked her life and career to stand up after the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.

i think trans ppl are such an attractive wedge for republicans bc it’s the perfect overlap of two base desires: - make my children talk to me no matter how awful i am to them - let me sexually harass that woman at my workplace

Called it!

“The whole thing is screwed up,” said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.” Incredible.

schadenfreude when you can, i guess, but worth noting a) these guys just wanted performative racism and b) trump's coalition is shredded

oh I got a spectacular Horrible Old Painting Baby the other day - 15th century Spain:

🧵*9/15/2025 noncooperation thread* A daily thread of acts of noncooperation, noncompliance, defiance, & whatnot by individuals, communities, &/or institutions. * Former-"Texas conservative"-turned-one-guy-protest-machine: "I took it out & I stood on a corner in The Woodlands & just held it up."

There are probably 51 Ways to Leave Your Lover bc you could prob just send them that song and that would be a pretty good hint.

"crybully" may be the most salient coinage of the internet to date

ice spotted in the home depot parking lot in cicero, illinois, per the berwyn cicero rapid response network. agents are reportedly active around cicero avenue. advocates are urging people to avoid the area.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Help your brothers and sisters in gaza if you're able

ICE claimed the father tried to hit them with his car or that he "dragged" one of the agents. Then bystander video was released showing this was completely false. ICE executed a man on the street in broad daylight.

Charlie Kirk’s killing was a tragedy. But we must not rewrite his life | Moira Donegan

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

Looks like the ICE presence in Chicagoland—and I emphasize the “land” part—is purposefully operating in a way as to avoid media coverage. By grabbing people here and there on city edges, outskirts & random suburbs, they don’t attract activity that generates coverage, let alone protest.

It's how they do in dc, too...

The golf course is finished but our grand re-opening has been pushed back until we've sedated the most aggressive of the geese.

tara davis woodhall is one of the most beautiful people i've ever seen.

it does seem weird to declare war on people and then demand they mourn your dead

god sends his rattliest shopping carts to his strongest soldiers

Social media IS MEDIA.

Brian Kilmeade deserves praise for his apology.

He's right in the plane-lands-safely sense

Agreed but a) if he's apologizing, then he doesn't feel strong enough to gut it out so b) bullying works...

A Scottish university is reportedly negotiating the return of skulls in its possession to Africa

No, this is clearly cap circumventing by the Shakers!!! Sister Baxter's no-show furniture sponsorship deal is raising a lot of questions about the contract negotiations

You should know that last month the Shakers grew by 50% because a lady left an Episcopal convent during free agency and went to the shakers. Embarrassing loss by the Episcopalians, who definitely had the cap space to give Sister Baxter those extra blessings www.npr.org/2025/08/19/n...

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

it's like only murderers read "the journalist and the murderer..."

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

I'd fall on my sword for you. Not on purpose. It just seems like something I'd do on accident.
