congrats to every "moderate" who cheered on this cruel, unfounded panic. hope you got what you wanted www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Every day, I get an email.

Actually somewhat terrifying -- Grok is providing random people's home and work addresses to would-be stalkers futurism.com/artificial-i...

There is a fifth wave of ska, beyond that which is known to rude boys

A Criterion Closet but for the different banh mi I've eaten throughout my life.

Pittsburgh has a new airport terminal. To me, it's the most important travel story of 2025. Not because the old one was too big and inconvenient, but bc it was a reminder of one of the worst corporate backstabbings in U.S. history. @slate.com on US Airways and Pittsburgh: slate.com/business/202...

For my whole adult life, whenever a friend has flown into Pittsburgh for the first time, I have told them the story of how USAir fucked Pittsburgh over and why we had way too big an airport as a result. It was actually very cathartic to go back through the whole history for this story

Took the train down to DC for Crooked Con and saw up close and personal what the Democratic Party might look like in 2026, 2028, and beyond.

RT for awareness that @umichfball.bsky.social must play “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” during the first timeout of the third quarter of this year’s game against the Ohio State Buckeyes.

No one online could escape the chatter about a catastrophic accident from … 1975. There’s a reason. slate.trib.al/orZ5X0I

I wrote about the bizarre, delightful, and reverent resurgence of the Edmund Fitzgerald—on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the ship's wreck. slate.com/technology/2...

They said it, not me slate.com/technology/2...

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...
