It. Is. Octoberrrrrr.

They’re very slowly getting away! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Hey, anyone wanna feel old??

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

If you have the opportunity to see Nicholas Christopher sing Anthem on Broadway, take it.

I’m so sorry but: Old Spice Latte

Good morning.

Cuomo can say Kościuszko but not Mamdani?

Important question: if you were walking in Manhattan and someone left a perfectly good jamón Iberico out by the curb with other stuff to give away, would you eat the street ham?

I already can’t think about the moon without thinking of Seveneves, this is only going to make it worse!

Say what you will about the Post, but really there is no other NY Paper with the chops to write this article.

Thumbs down, this blows.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

I’ll give a million dollars* to the DC building inspector who issues a stop-work order because they don’t have the proper permit. *I do not have a million dollars

Ok seriously, reality has jumped the shark.

My Autumn aerial embroideries I made last Autumn... I've made a start on this year's landscapes now! Lots and lots of colourful and brown trees coming soon 🧡💛🍂 including another geometric one maybe? #embroidery #art

Wow I guess now we know why maga hates bike lanes so much

I find it interesting that everybody assumes every woman over the age of about 30 they see a picture of on a protest is a liberal winemom or whatever.

Oh, man, I love a heist: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

Ended up at a local protest today rather than the main one, and while I missed the energy of being downtown, it was a lot easier to actually connect with people at a smaller event.

I’m thinking what we really need is a government shut *up*

Did what it said on the package, folks

Not if you’re going to keep your girlish figure, you can’t.

Fuck no.

College is not for the answers... it is for the exercise of structured thought They are teaching you how to think

This fundamentally misunderstands what professors *do* in the classroom. Yes, I am imparting info, but students get most of that from readings - what we’re doing in the classroom is helping them build a framework they can use to evaluate the info they are reading—

I've been told that Scabby the Rat is intended as a cartoonish, gross representation of our enemies and not, as I had assumed, a monstrous creature joining us in the war against management

Well, damn.

I know we’re having Discourse today but some big news from me is that Cheez-Its were 2 for 1 at stop & shop.

You guys, I’m at our friends’ house and look how pretty their kitty is. Her name is Dashi and she is so, so soft

Sometimes marriage is having a serious conversation about whether scorpions are kosher

Ok but seriously this is unhinged, and I say this as a person whose favorite bagel flavor is “cinnamon raisin that has been sitting with the everythings.”

Wagers on how many hours until we get video of her clearly standing peacefully nearby?

the carbon offsets of human rights

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this TikTok since yesterday. Sherman was stressing those ladies out.

in case you want some non bullshit about antifa here is something i wrote buttondown.com/theswordandt...

I couldn’t figure out why my feed was so weird and then I realized I had accidentally tapped on the discover tab 🫠

Wake up babe new alanis lyrics just dropped

I’m not going to speculate on greatest, but I’m going to offer up Olivia Rodrigo as a current fave for the sheer fun of her lyrics.

So we just got an offer accepted on a house? Like a real actual house with rooms?? And it’s adorable??

Dammit.

a friend just texted me to say she’d found our favorite piece of journalism of the 2010s in the Gawker archives and I must reiterate - as I have said on here before - that I do believe this is where the internet peaked on March 20 2014 and it has all been downhill from there

this feels right

Doing a sober, serious-minded TV interview about Bari Weiss's appointment to head up CBS News in which I make evidence-based arguments but say her name in the Borat "very nice" voice every time I mention her.

finally saw that wonderful Jane Goodall clip and I can’t tell you how delighted I am to learn that in addition to being a genius and a pure soul and a phenomenal advocate and a cultural revolutionary, she was also a hater

Have I mentioned how much I love Brad Lander? A+ human.
