Breaking — Will Lewis out at the Washington Post. He just sent this email to staff (shared with me by staffer):

Every argument starting with "prelapsarian precolonial non-patriarchy" always ends with "and that's why real women of <culture> don't need feminism" and I am somewhat tired of so many of you losers falling for this trick approximately six squintillion times.

I want it noted, for the record, that there was a non-trivial number of people who were dead set against this renovation and more interested in covering the Castro Theater in amber, instead of allowing it to evolve and continue to be a viable venue for the future: www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

fwiw to everyone sharing this, the photo is from a NYT article from last year and was taken at a protest in Los Angeles www.nytimes.com/es/2025/06/0...

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.

SF is the most beautiful major American city. Very funny/good to see people who thought it is hell discover this objectively true fact and other amazing things the city has (burritos).

1998 Warped Tour. Up next, an act we've never heard of named Kid Rock. Does a song called "Put My Balls in Your Mouth." Immediately after, my friend yells "I'll put MY balls in YOUR mouth." Kid Rock makes eye contact. It's been a gift to recall this everytime Kid Rock is mentioned for 27 years.

i think EV’s with backup gasoline generators are actually a pretty good answers for large vehicles like SUVs.

This excellent story Dave Rand posted on Twitter is a perfect illustration of the kind of person Nithya Raman is:

Wow

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress. “She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me. But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

This is a remarkable @nytimes.com split screen: A huge 3,526 word + photos profile on Sen Britt who "can't stop thinking about the boy ICE detained" But Rep Jaoquin Castro- who actually got Liam Ramos out of detention & back home- gets no interview, no pix, just 116 words inside a story. WOW.

COLUMBO: My wife, she loves your games. The sunken ghost ship level. It’s her favourite MARIO: Thank-a you! C: Just one more thing. Now you say your girlfriend, the Princess, was kidnapped by Bowser, your enemy. And yet you were go-karting with him this morning? M: What’s-a your point, Detective?

MAGA: “But I don’t understand Spanish.” China: pronounces every lyric perfectly 😭 Bad Bunny dropped an album in January2025 and now the world is learning Spanish for fun. Culture travels faster than complaints. 💃🌍 #BadBunnyBowl

I want to go back to this: this is a genuinely crazy thing to say when the latest polling indicates a supermajority of the party wants Abolish You have been handed political capital on a silver platter, and you're telling us "no thank you." You're telling us "I know ball" and holding up a cube

Bud Light Exec: I love the dog and think he’ll do big numbers with the kids we’re trying to sell beer to but could the women also want to fuck him?

Alright, where are my gifted kids at? You were smart and you never had to study and then you went to college and suddenly had to learn a new skillset overnight, that everybody else had years to learn, or flame out spectacularly? That’s what talent is like.

Sir Thomas More and his family. Fantastic study for (alas!) now lost painting by Hans Holbein. So unusual as a family portrait, but then, this family was unusual too. Today is Thomas More's day.

My advice for new book reviewers: * Practice is for losers. If you can't be best right away, give up. * Admitting error is weakling talk. * Never, ever put grudges behind you. * Establish your brand by with exceptional unpleasantness. People remember trauma best so be a human paper cut. (con't)

i think this is dead on re: the first. Woke 2 needs to lean in heavy on "he a little confused but he got the spirit"

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

Whatever it is I'm not following it...

Someone put a big pink dildo on the back of an SUV following Jake Lang's U-Haul. This occurred outside the Whipple Building Federal Building in Minneapolis.

I like this preview Cheeseboard has put up of their new space.

Agree.

Big news in California, with filing deadline very near: Nithya Raman, a progressive city councilor and a leader in the local left, has decided to run for mayor against Mayor Karen Bass (and many others). www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

almost 2 years later and I think Trump’s death toll now surpasses Bush/Cheney.

A 10 mph speed limit for e-bikes in Florida? It feels like a competition for which state can pass the stupidest e-bike laws. (New Jersey is winning that competition right now of course.) A total 'satanic panic'-style mass hysteria against e-bikes.

One day after meeting Susie Wiles, Tulsi Gabbard told the NSA not to publish the intelligence report. Instead, she instructed NSA officials to transmit the highly classified details directly to her office. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Someone tried to get me fired by messaging my job saying I'm talking on here about using AI. They encourage it, you can't get me fired this way. Just gross how often "progressives" love to find excuses to try to ruin the lives of queer women with opinions they don't like.

lol.

There’s something so comforting about an elected Republican crying online about gerrymandering

MEDIUM CHEDDAR has great news - his adoption fee is PAID! This cheeky orange boy gets along with everyone and has the sweetest, saddest little face. Who wants him in #Tucson?

He could not force himself to understand how banks functioned and so forth, because all the operations of capitalism were as meaningless to him as the rites of a primitive religion, as barbaric, as elaborate, and as unnecessary.

that’s a nice sounding Cheeseboard pizza. their potato ones are so good. (especially the corn and potato ones in the summer)

Stinging dissent from Judge Dana Douglass (Obama appointee) who chillingly sums up the consequences. Over 2 million people including those who have resided in the country can be held without bond hearings. The court’s reading means “the border is everywhere.”
