Major Republican pollster warns that digging in on anti-Nazism will fracture their coalition

Women are dying because of the way anti-abortion laws were written. These deaths were predictable, predicted, and above and beyond any intrinsic trade off of preventing the termination of viable pregnancies in healthy women.

BILL MAHER: seems like everywhere you look these days women are saying sir we asked you to leave

Feeling grouchy? All The Things getting you down? I highly recommend this account. Wonderful photos of animals + sometimes narrated short videos. Anyway, like and follow the guy I’m quoting, not me. (Or me too whatever, mainly him tho.)

Here's the video of me encountering my first and only baby prairie dog. Clearly I realized I was being unfair to how glorious Early Baby Bird Season was, so I did a 2nd narrative. Enjoy both 😂

"Women at Harvard deserve educators who respect them."

WOW! I've been seeing a medium sized murder of crows on my way to my pelican sunset location, about 40-50, and I've thought about stopping, but never had the time. Today I had an extra 20 minutes and while driving past I saw WAY more crows AND them swooping on GULLS! I stopped. And got these. 🪶 ⚔️

You should have to pass this short pass/fail test before you get nukes: Bill has two apples. If he invites Susan over, she will bring four more apples and they will split the apples 50/50. If he does not, he does not have to share any apples. Will he have more or less apples if he invites her over?

I mean. ??? Also good to learn about 2. Antisemitism 3. Fascism and authoritarianism But if you have to pick one? It’s “you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.” The Rwandan genocide is also about colonialism & race science but if you have to pick one lesson? Genocide = bad”

I love modern criminals, they’re always googling shit like “how to do crime”

oh, when you've lost Mort Klein

Unanimously? What is going on? Which, to be clear, is not rhetorical. I mean that sincerely. What is going on?

Not immediate enough, but good.

Agreed. But it’s really hard to feel warmly toward you given your gratuitous, vulgar dunk on trans women in sports. Why are you talking about this? Of all the things that trouble us here in Alabama, is your hypothetical of Charles Barkley playing for the WNBA even in the top 100?

My elderly neighbors who are downsizing just gave me their Wedgewood China, which they know is valuable, because apparently I am nice and seem like a good home for such an heirloom? 😭😭😭

in a moment when too much of the remaining opinion column space in the states seems to have been set aside for farcical, garbled thinking, so grateful for @elienyc.bsky.social, for his moral clarity, and for the way he wields the form.

Ethnonationalism is bad so pride in one’s rootless cosmopolitanism is good and at the improbable intersection of those two statements lives the incontrovertible truth that Yiddish is the best language

Life hack: if you don’t do anything on your to-do list but you go back and clear everything from your previous to-do lists, you got to both procrastinate and do Things in the same day

Hear me out: A system where everyone living in an area pays a small upcharge on various transactions which is used toward common goods like pools, and the only restrictions on property use are those that can pass constitutional muster. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

Got so productive and crossed so many things* off my to-do list that I decided to waste my time on here *N=2

“When I was a lad I ate 4 dozen eggs every morning to help me get large. And now that I’m grown, I dismember objectionable journalists with bone saws AND IM ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF A BARGE”

I get it. We all have our youthful indiscretions. I mean, who hasn’t dismembered a journalist with a bone saw for printing articles critical of their regime, am I right?

"In Alabama, 19.3 percent of babies born from 2022 to 2024 had mothers who received inadequate prenatal care..." www.alreporter.com/2025/11/18/r...

This is...sort of brilliant.

One of the crazy-making things about talking about what my Columbia advisor did is that every conventional narrative says that if you are the woman and you are desired, you are the one with power. So in talking about it, I feel self-aggrandizing, which comes with its own shame.

"Do you love New York but wish it had fewer people, no big buildings and much worse humidity? Well do I have a state for you!"

The more Larry Summers is in the news with his nonsense, the angrier I get. It sucked, at 25, to feel like I was so lacking in talent that my advisor had just given up on me. But no. I was lacking in willingness to make my body and my very self available to him.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

I got Summersed by my advisor @columbiajournalism.bsky.social. The last thing he deserves to do is teach.

So true

The way this tells me something terrible must have just happened

I got tricked into clicking a link to the virtual Nazi bar that is Substack, so I will save you the same mistake: Ryan Lizza wants Olivia Nuzzi to know that he is dating someone way better, and to tell the world that olivia has banged multiple elderly sources and also that he is definitely not mad.

I’m not sure I see the logic in continuing to teach but stepping back from, like, making public appearances? The issue is with behavior while teaching. Why would it do anything to, like, step off the lecture circuit or whatever? That’s emphatically not the problem.

this man should no longer have a job where he is teaching undergraduate or frankly graduate students. get him out of the classroom. unbelievable he's been allowed to stay this long.

my kingdom for a Jimmy Carter

The Sisterhood voluntold me to head the Praline Matzo Committee but I didn’t realize I was spearheading a reboot after a 12-year hiatus. Praline Matzo Inflation Index™️ and more shenanigans forthcoming as I undertake this, the holiest of Mitzvahs.

Good. He should be.

This is the sort of brazen lie you tell when you’re trying to demonstrate your power by showing you can say shit that everyone knows is a lie, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

"Personally, I still love the Odd Squad Movie where all of the previous characters join in a mission to defeat a monster that can double. I believe that shutting down P.B.S. Kids would be a horrible mistake." The people* have spoken and the people demand Odd Squad. www.al.com/news/montgom...

When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he turned to a longtime associate for guidance: Jeffrey E. Epstein. Dhruv T. Patel and Cam N. Srivastava report.

I mean

It’s sort of clarifying to see him describe this dynamic so directly www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...
