“Hitler regarded [the S.A.] as purely a political force, a band to strike terror in the streets against his political opponents and to keep up political enthusiasm in the Nazi ranks.” - Shirer, William. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. P. 269

I stopped caring about the Oscars when Parasite won. A non-English anti-capitalism film? The perfect ending to the Oscars. Plus it was 2020. Nothing can ever top that!

Funny you should ask, Del! In fact I've heard from listeners that they really appreciated the movie more after hearing this episode, even changed a couple of minds! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/j...

After posting on the White House website just yesterday that Ashli Babbit was "murdered in cold blood," the administration states that the victim of the ICE shooting in Minnesota was justifiably killed as a "domestic terrorist."

Somehow I ended up reading these two articles back to back over the vacation. Totally surreal. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/n... www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

We are going to run Venezuela by Zoom!

pushed myself to make it all the way through the best books of 2025 list. my god that's a lot of books www.newyorker.com/best-books-2...

If brands/influencers are creating long form video podcasts to make clips than the fake clippers win all the awards as they have figured out how to go straight to the point. Anyways my #1 story about podcasting this year: theconversation.com/fake-podcast...

In spirit, content and intent, this was really no different to a Klan rally. The exception being the wholesale absence of outrage in mainstream media. This period of history will be an indictment on those standing silent, as much as the monster himself.

!!!!!!!!!

I don't feel I saw enough movies this year to have a best list but I do feel confident in saying that Sirât and Eddington should be on all the lists!

The first question he got in France was "how dare you!" wonder what he got last night?!

New: “Eric Trump Has Gotten 10 Times Richer Since Dad’s Election” @kylekhanmullins.bsky.social for @forbes.com

Ask not if your country will let you ride the bus for free but rather if you are ready to go under the bus for your country

A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Last night the kid read me the story of Unus from his Marvel Masterworks book and then I read AB #14! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME

Russia / America / Just the beginning... www.youtube.com/shorts/6J1eM...

Two books I devoured this weekend. Paired together they illuminate the close knit relationship that has always existed between the Post WWII Security State and the 'Free' Press press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo... www.amazon.com/Challenging-...

I am a pretty cynical human, it’s rare that you can say something about the US that I think is too harsh, but the claim that the vast majority of Americans would agree with Alan Dershowitz is where I draw the line

Tucker back in his Twin Peaks era?

I'm excited to announce that I have been asked to join the Mamdani Transition Team to work on community safety issues. A New Era for NYC.

@bethmacy.bsky.social Started reading Paper girl this morning while the kid was at music class (enraptured), came home and learned you are running for office! Amazing!

Vance knows he has never ever ever been looked at like this

Press play was so fun last year and this one looks amazing too @pioneerwork.bsky.social pioneerworks.org/programs/pre... this session though feels like a dare rather than an invitation!!

Boss AI

whats up with the Red Room photo?

this article is training AI video software on how to generate authentic looking wind swept hair. I don't think it does anything else.

yesterday I read an issue of @lrb.co.uk from the summer that I still hadn't opened... and this happened:

I decided that the only comment I would make to parents at drop off is an enthusiastic "AFRICANA STUDIES MAJOR!!!"
