Appreciated @whstancil.bsky.social going back and forth particularly amid a pretty disgusting harassment campaign that doing the interview could escalated. Thought this analysis of Musk's behavior was worth pulling out slate.com/technology/2...

I interviewed Will about what's been happening to him on Twitter the past few weeks and his thoughts on the state of social media and the Democrats

New enhanced interrogation technique just dropped.

Stunning story by @jesspish.bsky.social: He became the most famous sheriff in the U.S. after his hunt for his wife's "real killers" inspired a $60 million 1973 blockbuster ($430 million in today dollars). It was all a lie and his hometown can't deal. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Universal swing in action: "What we saw last night was a directional shift toward Democrats in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/seven-data...

This is about the CFB committee ranking the Iowa Hawkeyes #20 on the playoff poll btw

Zohran quoted Eugene Debs in the first line of his victory speech. I might be in love with this man.

Ah well, there goes No Nut November!

Maybe Andrew Cuomo just loves getting beaten by Zohran. He's done it twice now. Have we considered this?

Where did the CFB committee rank Zohran?

You're laughing? Dick Cheney died after a piano fell on his head and turned his teeth into piano keys and you’re laughing.

84. He was fucking kid.

Arcadia Publishing—the press behind countless local-history titles—is selling the text of its community-focused books to an unnamed AI firm. The authors’ words, meant to memorialize local stories, now destined to train bots instead. Great new piece from @nitishpahwa.com slate.com/technology/2...

Do not goon gentley into that good night, Goon, goon against the dying of the light.

Online chess is a brutal game

A whole-ass, peer-reviewed article was just published claiming that the Rat Hole is actually a squirrel. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

The Amazon Prime Days will continue until morale improves.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

You win, Google. I'm just going to buy more storage for all the screenshots of funny memes I find on Instagram. 😔

Taylor Swift Was Practicing Politics the Right Way

Being a Weezer fan through a truly legendary stretch of horrible albums in the 2000s really made me the person I am today.

The real reason Daniel Day-Lewis came out of retirement was so that @isaacbutler.bsky.social could write about him

Bumping again--I'm back full time starting today. Am especially interested in hearing from unhoused people and advocates in Chicago who have been impacted by ICE and the now-looming National Guard deployment in our city. Signal is katie.507.

now that the news is official: some thoughts on Bari Weiss taking over at CBS News, and what it means that the Free Press—a publication that never apologizes or corrects itself when its "reporting" is ripped to shreds—is touted as a needed dose of "trust and integrity" slate.com/technology/2...

The New York Times: The seventh seal is broken. Locusts with human faces swarm the land. The oceans boil. Which is a troubling sign for the American economy.

What if the rapture did happen but it was only, like, one dude?

I accidentally let the pigeon drive the bus 😔

What do Simone Biles and one of the worst dates I’ve ever been on have in common? Absolutely nothing, except I mention both in this post. askasoberlady.substack.com/p/how-do-i-a...

“BECAUSE IT IS MY USERNAME!!! BECAUSE I CAN HAVE NO OTHER!!!”

i saw goody proctor making inflammatory posts about charlie kirk

Excellent @stephenharrison.com piece about Wikipedia, breaking news, and the right wing outrage machine that's kicked into high gear around articles about Charlie Kirk and the killing of Iryna Zarutska. slate.com/technology/2...

chicago, irving park: ice spotted at home depot at addison/kimball

This is what it’s like to be friends with @tonyhotran.bsky.social

Just burst out laughing remembering Wisconsin is playing Alabama today.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Axios that Musk got it "backward" with DOGE. www.axios.com/2025/09/12/d...

They are 100% going to use this as an excuse to attack video games. The Republicans have wanted this for so long.

Meanwhile, Nepal just elected an interim Prime Minister via a Discord vote. A good reminder that shit is crazy errywhere. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/w...

I feel crazy. Less than a year ago literally everyone was beside themselves with glee after the United Healthcare CEO was shot. Jesse Welles has a song lamenting Kirk's death, months after his UHC one. What makes Charlie Kirk different? That it was captured in 4K? That we knew his name and face?

Watch this guy get caught at the same McDonald's they found Luigi in.

At my freshman year at Iowa, I was eating a chili dog at The Airliner while studying and spilled chili all over my notebook I was supposed to turn in for class after the first bite. I don't have much to add other than it was a very good chili dog. www.nytimes.com/athletic/660...

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok AI has been spreading ludicrous misinformation in the wake of Charlie Kirk's shooting, saying he's alive and well and that video of the event is fake -- a perfect example of how AI is nowhere near ready to handle breaking news futurism.com/elon-musk-gr...

I wrote about the caricature of Bluesky that right-wing Twitter accounts were pumping out to hundreds of millions of people yesterday @slate.com. Hey, Bluesky did finally become an echo chamber. Just not the one these people were pretending it is: slate.com/technology/2...
