Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Editor who tries to make Aaron Gleeman stop covering the Twins definitely deserves to have their job. "We've hired Stephen King but only to write greeting cards. He's sitting next to Dave Barry, who is baking scones."

(scrolling Bluesky) I reject the premise. I reject the premise. Granted. I reject the premise. Not my fetish. Granted. I reject the premise. Funny. I reject the premise.

I will pay an editorial cartoonist to create this for The Handbasket. email/msg on signal if interested.

A recent CoinDesk survey found 73% disapprove of government officials having crypto business ties, yet 55% weren’t aware of Trump’s involvement, and only 17% knew he co-founded World Liberty Financial. This underscores why my work at Citation Needed is so necessary. www.citationneeded.news/signup/

In what can only be described as a haunting privilege, my latest NYT Books column looks at America’s habit of calling conquest freedom, beginning with Jefferson’s “empire for liberty” — it’s giving Goop x Lockheed Martin collab. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/09/b...

Essential oils are nice. They can maybe boost your mood temporarily. Placebo effects are real. They’re not a substitute for chemotherapy. And that’s ok.

Not sharing the Wired piece because shitty framing, but the usual, best and correct argument against almost all conspiracy theories is that they require too many people to keep a secret. That argument is locktight when the alleged conspirators are wildly incompetent, pathological loudmouths.

incredibly funny that this bullshit trust and safety team is going to Streisand Effect themselves into everyone knowing about this restore @cara.city you miserable babies

They suspended @cara.city for this!!! Dogshit website run by absolute babies. It is a Serious Violation to point out that the head of trust and safety’s pants fell down and everyone saw his little red ass and laughed

Conservatives spent the entire sexual revolution turning the very concept teen pregnancy into an indictment of cultural liberalism and now that it’s largely been solved they’re blaming liberals for low birth rates

Woo, Connecticut! Also, get your shit together, Connecticut!

I know many people who would not be alive today were it not for antidepressants. Seriously fuck this.

I was struck by depression for some years after my then girlfriend died in a car crash. I used antidepressants during the worst of it, and I am sure that I am alive because of them. RFK jr. only wants to cull as many American citizens as he can. this post is very relatable, even to me.

Way to go! CT local reporters FTW.

ESB is not the best movie of the original trilogy. It’s not even an entire movie. It’s basically missing a beginning and an end. It’s a place holder.

read the cornell’s sun original story which is fucking CRAZY

in case you were wondering what stage of capitalism we're at, google search is now treating the word "crumble" as a misspelling of the cookie brand crumbl

No we’re not

Newsom team’s social media shtick was fresh and funny at first but fell off hard when they went to the homophobia well and is now tired and bordering on embarrassing.

In 2020 @yaelrice.bsky.social and I authored this article to dispute this kind of pseudo-scientific research, which regularly gets press attention, precisely so that others don't have to cope with the tedium of refuting it. Here's the refutation you need! hyperallergic.com/how-scientis...

I worry we're going to get decades of really rank, acidic reactionary politics fueled by the shattered dreams of generations of men who thought school was girly but gambling was manly and then wonder why they are poor.

My favorite bit was how the Grit inventory was basically an ADHD inventory in reverse and @notalawyer.bsky.social’s own ADHD kept preventing him from finishing it.

Just makin' it clear for your asses. Erasing the voices of black and brown people is not "agree to disagree" territory.

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m... I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.

Beehiiv Buttondown Ghost…

here's my dumb take: impeachment isn't a priority because it's old and tired and won't generate media. what should dems actually pass? HR1: No Self Dealing, a swath of anticorruption measures. make republicans vote no on that. make them the "stealing from america" party

Today in 1777 was the midnight ride of Sybil Ludington. At age 16, at night, she rode 40 miles to warn American colonial forces to the approach of British forces. Let us not forget the forgotten heroes in American history.

Didn't bend, didn't cower, didn't even feel the need to stand next to Trump grinning awkwardly like it was normal. And now he's emerged unscathed with his job and his dignity intact and his reputation even stronger than before. Huh. Seems like this could be a model for others in power.
