First pumpkin cheesecake made in the new apartment. Naturally, I burn my finger on the oven rack.

Guess I won’t be making any alumni donations anytime soon.

Olivia Nuzzi get interviewed by Chotiner challenge.

Oh, so Pritzker is really targeting Bluesky, huh?

Wonder if Comey will try to reinvent himself as a #Resist Grifter.

Next, when China goes from buying 0 soybeans to buying 1 soybean, you can proclaim an unprecedented increase in soybean sales!

Is AI basically Enron, but worse? Accounting tricks to appear valuable so line goes up so high it becomes the foundation for the entire bull market?

SVU measles outbreak episode hits different now.

I’m assuming part of this is Trump knows Mamdani’s wife is a total smoke show.

Starting my Friday the right way- rewatching the SVU gamergate episode and letting my brain melt.

Putting my marker down - Nuzzi is Aaron Rodgers' secret wife and they're hard launching on publication day.

Olivia Nuzzi writes like if ChatGPT was horny for the scion of a political dynasty and trained exclusively on a lot of terrible Freshman college creative writing papers.

I can’t wait for the dementia to take hold during a press conference or cabinet meeting and when he’s asked about Epstein, says “why are you asking about him? I had him killed so I wouldn’t get these questions anymore.”

Schumer and Hakeem want the Democratic Party to become more rightwing by taking and catering to refugees from the Republican Party in the name of making a big tent and are taking the left wing core of the party for granted yet again.

Luckily, as a Cubs fan and a Democrat, I’m used to disappointment.

Pope Leo confirmed for @blankcheck.bsky.social ‘s Fernando Meirelles miniseries?

The way he’s behaving like his wife’s ethnicity is a disadvantage for his future ambitions, I’m assuming I’ve had more Indian food this year than JD Vance. And I get it maybe once a month, tops.

It’s ironic that we debate over what killed the dinosaurs and now the liquified remains of those same dinosaurs are what is leading to our extinction.

Seeing Epstein in the news is really hard for Trump, because it’s a fresh reminder of when he had his best friend murdered.

Maybe we just need to put every elected Democrat in front of a rabid crowd of progressives screaming “TAX THE RICH.”

Is 2025 when tarring and feathering makes a comeback?

Trump wants to have a fake investigation that lasts for the rest of his term that magically ends when he’s out of office so the files stay in limbo. Not sure if that dog will hunt.

If this is the best they could come up with, they’re fucking spinning out.

My mayor-elect released a video informing his followers about the life and legacy of Sylvia Rivera and Begala thinks he ran as an anti-woke centrist. Burn the old guard of the party to the fucking ground.

Running Man isn’t quite the kind of leftist I am, but I appreciate that it tries.

I guess the one upside to not having a public editor is that the Times doesn't have to make sure their public editor isn't drinking themselves to death to deal with the stress of these revelations.

As a stroke survivor, it's very important to follow your doctor's directions to avoid having complications or a second stroke. By all accounts, Fetterman has done none of the rehabilitation or follow up work his doctors recommended.

Wonder if the WH is considering Trump going full on Born Again as a way to get past Epstein. Sure, maybe he knew about child sex crimes and even participated, but he's been SAVED now. Cut him a break!

1. Billionaires are mostly dumb on a lot of topics. 2. Billionaires are told by everyone around them, especially other billionaires, that they are the smartest people because they are billionaires. 3. Billionaires think they have special knowledge on something that is actually just ignorance.

This ties into something I’ve been rolling over in my mind. There are definitely editors who search out and recruit craven assholes because of their pre-existing proximity to power. I will always have a hard time trusting a journalist with a famous name who comes from money.

This is what’s next.

“The fact that they’re not using code words if proof the emails aren’t real!”

They're trying to make it exculpatory by saying Giuffre never accused him of wrongdoing, which seems like the same strategy they tried with Stormy Daniels releasing a statement required by her NDA saying they didn't have sex.

Trump's true talent has been understanding the inherent laziness of much of the press. Throw out enough bullshit and they'll get distracted and spend all their time chasing shadows while you do crimes in the open.

The President, who exists in a fantasy world curated by his sycophants and has a history of commodifying and objectifying women, definitely raped children. His approval is under 40%. We can never stand up against this unstoppable electoral juggernaut.

Anyone else thinking about the concept of hell a lot more these days?

Trump and fascism are rising because of shit like what Schumer just pulled.

Has anyone else realized we no longer talk about Bruno-o-o?

Who is this ad for? Are there still Libertarians who haven't been completely subsumed by the MAGA movement?

Schumer traded a 40 day shutdown with plummeting approval for the administration and Republicans for the promise to hold a vote on a messaging bill on ACA subsidies that the House will never entertain.

Maybe not great that our President is now threatening to sue foreign media to get them to change critical coverage.

Protest every caving Democrat’s family Thanksgiving. Ruin the one thing they cared about more than actually doing something.

Marshal Chuck Pétain.

Republicans refuse to negotiate from a position of weakness and Democrats refuse to negotiate from a position of strength.

Me to Chuck:

Schumer is definitely happy to piss off the energized base that just elected Mamdani.

The problem is, for a lot of these Senators, this could very possibly be the last Thanksgiving or Christmas of their lives, actuarially, and they don’t want to give them up to do their fucking jobs.
