Bumping this as a reminder NYT leans hard on revenue from their puzzles, games, Wirecutter etc to fund their billionaire apologist headlines, contrarian Op-Ed take havers, and iffy/yikes livetweeting style of journo

"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday? What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators? Can we make this a thing?

One of the guys in the graphic not being in the top 3 is a genuinely good bit.

After being sworn in, U.S. Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) calls out the Republican-controlled House for not holding President Donald Trump accountable like they're supposed to.

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Nico Harrison's firing had me thinking about how he could've just stayed at Nike making something like 2 mil a year and never giving anyone a reason to be mad at him and then I remembered how bad he fucked up there too

Reminder: Every time you shop at an independent bookstore, Jeff Bezos loses a little bit of power.

Well it's been a pretty intense day of academic administration I guess I'll just check in on the news events of the day ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?! www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Stay classy Larry

Dear fellow pedophile, Donald Trump is fully aware of my work in my capacity as a pedophile. Regards, A pedophile

Absolutely diabolical headline & art combo from @teamziller.bsky.social this morning. I am in awe.

Whoa

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

"The danger is all around us. We are suckers for this charm. It’s going to be our downfall, it seems. We’d rather be entertained than taken care of. It’s tragic, really.”--Michael Shannon

Great stuff from @kdonhoops.com

In Chicago, the courage of good, everyday folks getting in the face of ICE/BP and fighting back is restoring my faith in America In DC, the cowardice of Senate Democrats has undermined it, again America needs a government as good as its people. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

I know we've had years now to get used to the proud Sports Illustrated brand dwindling to bland aggregator, but it's wild that their college football coverage at this point consists almost entirely of blogs updating Kalshi odds on various coaching vacancies.

second verse on this is one of the funniest things i've ever heard

It’s all happening at X, the Everything App

I heard from several people in recent months that they liked my newsletter but were canceling paid subs or not signing up because it was on Substack… … … If you were one of those people …. … … Sup 👀😘😜😉

Same energy.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

Honestly, feeling like a bit of an echo chamber in here tonight. Gonna head on over to the everything app for some viewpoint div

On the 30th anniversary of Liquid Swords, I'm re-publishing this tribute to the GZA's masterpiece, originally written in the rec room era. www.passionweiss.com/2025/11/08/l...

Absolutely insane goal in insane conditions in the CPL final. Absurd.

My wife hasn’t been paid in over a month and I would happily have that continue instead of this pile of shit

I'm starting a streaming TV company that uses billionaires' bones to build the channel lineup

His junior year, we basically built the entire plane out of just him at wide receiver and Rome at tight end on offense…carried our otherwise terrible team to the state semifinals

The parallel universe where 15-year-old LeBron James decides that he should stick with his actual favorite sport, joins his fellow Buckeye Archie Griffin as a two-time Heisman Trophy winner, and goes on to obliterate every NFL receiving record was much closer to happening than people realize.

Awful. I hope they’ve found the shooter.

The Pedolands

Escaping with a 3-point win over an unranked team? Looks like Indiana overpaid for a football coach.

An infant girl in Chicago was tear gassed this morning by the U.S. government. Developing story in Little Village. Follow @lauranrodriguez.bsky.social and @ckubzansky.bsky.social who are reporting on the ground

So,

this is, no hyperbole, so inspirational. Go on, young man!!

“Anyway I still spend a lot of time on Twitter, the fucked up mess of a Nazi AI app,” ahhhh that’s great man cool choice you’re making there.
