I write books & my wide vocabulary shows in them, & even I encounter words I don't know when I read all the time & look them up. And guess what? That's why I have a big vocabulary. That's exactly how it grows. So please don't be too knucklheaded with too little a thirst for wisdom to look things up.

Okay, so the first scene of S3 takes place after book 5, and they implied pretty explicitly that [redacted] is replacing David Talbot. Lestat in the car with VO about the hatred and the sun. We better get a season 4.

Graph of Strait of Hormuz crossings since June 2025. See that little spike all the way on the right? The one that's much lower than the leftward 2/3 of the graph, and immediately crashes back down? That's what the US government and quite a bit of US media tell us is fully open, with normal traffic.

Will any journalist anywhere report that the president pulled out a Clinton era photo of Camp David and thought the image was of one of his kids? Anyone?

It's really worth remembering, as news moves of Bessent calling Zelenskyy a "special-needs child," that we really did make a lot of progress against disability slurs. By 2019 Special Olympics had shifted the "end the word" campaign because it was so successful.

Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

This is how I find out LAFD no longer maintains a fire map. Thanks, Mayor Bass! Firing that great Chief to put in a lacky who'd agree to cuts in services to support the already bloated LAPD was a great idea!

I've lived through over 40°C (104°F) weather before, and let me tell you, not having AC at those temps can put healthy young ppl in the ER. The decision not to invest massively in AC is a de facto mandatory euthanasia program for a portion of the old and sick.

Journalists limiting comments when they post their own articles is cowardly. We can't write letters to the editor anymore. Open comments or don't post. Learn to take criticism. It is part of your job.

The media has lost their collective minds. She was not prevented ftom self-quarantining. Self-quarantine is only allowed if your state has the capability to home monitor. Floruda, where she lives, does not. They did not disregard medical experts about hantavirus. This was standard regs before RFK.

To be fair, the latter was always true, but before the internet, handheld cameras in every pocket, and the ability to clip and edit anything that streams it was easier to launder through the media.

The number of people at the Knicks parade today were roughly equal to the combined population of Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Montana & Alaska. So if you heard about any issues in NYC today, but not about any crimes in those states, you know the agenda of that media.

Exactly right. Thousands of different cultures are mingling happily in lower Manhattan right now, and anyone who can't get on board with that is the social misfit. America always has been and always will be diverse. Love it or leave it, assholes.

That doesn't mean right-wing propaganda inevitably makes habitual consumers more right-wing. But it did make me noticeably more bitter, cranky, cynical, and intolerant of disagreement — traits that I can see developing in a lot of X addicts in real time.

One thing I learned when I was just out of college and watching 6-8 hours of Fox News a day for my research job at Media Matters: Ingesting hours of propaganda on a daily basis changes you, no matter how smart you think you are. If you don't notice the changes, that just makes you an easier mark.

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

even George W. Bush got crosswise with the MSM when Iraq turned into a disaster. Trump can create a similar catastrophic defeat except much, much faster and the reaction is "huh, that's unusual. anyway,"

The American press looks even worse than normal when you see literally any alternative. The panelists on The View aren’t even good interviewers, but they easily made JD Vance worse than in any other interview since the 2024 campaign. It’s such an indictment on establishment media.

The obsession with getting instantaneous election results is weird and unhealthy, serves no real purpose, and feeds conspiratorial nonsense. Increasingly thinking we might be better off just embargoing all results for like a week.
