Yup.

It’s got to be so wild trying to teach law school classes now: “Um, yea, so there’s no such thing as ‘precedent’ or ‘law’ anymore — the law is just whatever John Roberts thinks helps Donald Trump the most right now.”

This breaking Kimmel news is spoiling Secretary 🧠🪱's shoddy "science" news conference about how bad bad moms cause autism by taking Tylenol (absolutely not shown to be true)

Don't let the fact that these people are incredibly dangerous fool you into believing this is all some fait accompli. These people are dangerous but they're also stupid, inept, impulsive, and utter clowns.

This is lawless. It is, however, not much different than what the SCOTUS far-right majority did when it allowed Texas's SB8 vigilante abortion law to go into effect in 2021 despite it clearly being unconstitutional under Roe/Casey.

you cannot cancel Chancleta. he woke up looking like this. you have no hope of stopping him.

BREAKING: DISNEY AGREES TO AIR CHANCLETA IN PERPETUITY

LET THE KETCHUP FLY

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

Gorgeous sunrise to start off the new week. It's also officially the first day of fall! Our detailed forecast for the week ahead and more at cwg.live

Michaels better not let me down with their spooky decor this year I need a minimum of five skeleton candles that change color when you light them to keep myself from falling into complete nihilism

Just let me vent for one second. I wake up this morning. @washingtonpost.com piece that leaves out major study on Tylenol and autism (which found no link) Then a @nytimes.com piece on the failures of NIH written by a guy with ties to right-wing theocrats and undisclosed. What the hell is going on?

The truth is there are three kinds of people: the disabled, the pre-disabled, and the doomed to die suddenly. Most of us will be disabled at some point.

and live in unity and godly love

"Why is this bribe covered in HUMMUS?!"

This is obviously a tiny thing in *gestures wildly* all this, but it really irritates me in a TV show or a movie when a character has a giant fruit bowl on the counter full of more fruit than they could possibly eat before it goes bad. Wasteful!

this is the energy

I ate so many 69 cent bean burritos in law school

Remember that DC can’t do this

Trying to imagine Trump’s mood after having to sit and listen to a dozen or so people talk about how great someone who isn’t him was.

HOW GOOD IS THIS This is how you speak truth to power and use your privilege.

Finally we get our own Ever Given!

I love the raspberry sorbet, but it isn't worth the frustration! Why are Talenti’s gelato jars so hard to open? www.washingtonpost.com/style/2025/0...

By the wonderful @elongreen.bsky.social -- an incredible article about an incredible story about an incredible song. slate.com/culture/2025...

Breaking News: Marian Burros, a journalist and cookbook author whose reporting championed consumer protection, has died at 92.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

New in PN: Kash Patel makes a mockery of Congress "Patel’s apparent lack of concern about lying to Congress is just the latest example of the Trump administration’s complete disregard for checks and balances and the rule of law."

Worth noting that Khalil (and others) who have everything to lose, have shown more bravery and commitment to free speech than elites across academia, corporate America, culture and politics bsky.app/profile/josh...

Does cancer itself have a DC lobbying group? Like, Big Cancer? Because if so, it’s doing a bang-up job

The defining lesson of this first year of Trump authoritarianism is that kowtowing & capitulating yields zero permanent benefit and only emboldens the admin to come after you more. This critical lesson was first documented in the landmark political science treatise “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.”

finally, a thanksgiving dessert that reflects america in 2025

The last decade has been an utter indictment of media elites, they want all privilege of the 4th estate without any of the responsibilities

There should be fewer outright cranks in charge of important things, in my opinion

I don’t know the story here but my best guess is “tripped over the cat going down stairs in the dark but still love him”. Photo from my collection, 1958.

Bruh

this is the goal. the kids and disabled people they're going to kill are as much a happy accident for them as anything else; the goal is government capture and really nothing deeper or more ideological

Last night, a judge ordered recently-released Palestinian activist and former @columbiasipa.bsky.social student Mahmoud Khalil deported Tonight at 6 at Busboys and Poets, I’ll be the first to speak with Khalil since the ruling. We will talk about Columbia, cancellation, and free speech.

We went yesterday for flu and Covid. We also reminded our kids and grandkids to go ASAP.

I'm freaking SOBBING

Hey, is it good when the Republican chair of a committee has to slowly explain normal procedures to another Republican in the exact tone you'd use with a small child?

Everyone running against a Republican Senator should be reminding people nonstop that everyone knew this would happen and every Republican still voted to put an antivaxxer with no health or science background in charge of health and science for the entire country

Pregnant women and newborns face an elevated risk of becoming severely ill from COVID. But new guidance from the CDC is complicating their ability to stay protected from the coronavirus, @yeahyeahyasmin.bsky.social reports:

Bureaucrat. And I was one!

I was told there would be a handbasket.

Depending on what happens at an important meeting tomorrow (stacked with anti-vaxxers), it could be gone next week.

Not food-related, but important information! The National Toy Hall of Fame at the Strong Museum (in beautiful Rochester, NY) has just announced the 2025 players' choice nominees for induction into the HoF! Thoughts? See link in replies to cast your vote!

folks, I want to remind you that a ton of federal workers are about to get their last pay check at the end of this month and this stuff is going to get much worse

No lies spotted. I probably watched this movie ten times in high school. God it’s good.
