Jezebel specifically asked the witches that he be mildly inconvenienced at most: mildly annoying aspects of daily life, like losing a gym sock. If we are going to go this far down the crazy hole, let’s at least bring a candle. 🕯️

Jezebel has little choice but to hire the same witches to curse Kelly. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

If you are Border Czar Homans, and you did NOT take the $50,000 in a paper bag, wouldn't you been screaming at the top of your lungs that you want the FBI tape of the transaction released publicly in order to clear your name? Yet he isn't doing that. Hmmmm......

Israel accuses Hamas of using medical facilities for military purposes, which could cause them to lose their protected status under international law, but the IDF has often provided little evidence to support this.

Tom "FittyK" Homan is his rap name. Yo, wassup, FittyK?

This would be a good time for some brave journalist to write about the insidious effect of Autism Speaks on the national conversation.

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country

Cass Sunstein walking into his New Yorker interview

It's less viral, but he's also good at interviews where he doesn't absolutely obliterate someone. It's like getting a call from someone who is a professional chef but also an MMA fighter inviting you to "a thing at a warehouse" on a Tuesday night. Maybe it's food. Maybe you're getting choked out.

Proud to announce our unnamed tech partners tracked the cell phone locations of hundreds of thousands of people without their knowledge or consent

The real problem with Olivia Nuzzi is that like Young Ezra, she has no actual journalism background. (Writing opinion for the Daily Beast or a conservative blog doesn't count.) She's more of a political knob polisher but not unique --this has been going on the past 20 years or so. /1

Do not allow journos to retcon history like this. Olivia Nuzzi was fired because her fiance Ryan Lizza and her former employer New York Magazine found out she was sexting presidential candidate RFK Jr while she was reporting on the incumbent president Joe Biden's reelection campaign.

Olivia Nuzzi back at Vanity Fair is an excellent encapsulation of the current state of the press, complete with the journomerta coverage as if she was out for a speeding ticket or a bad post instead of an incredibly gross undisclosed affair with her subject

the hiring of Olivia Nuzzi by Vanity Fair makes the new rules of media clear: ❌ lightly criticizing Charlie Kirk ✅ FaceTime fingerblasting with your story’s subject, RFK Jr.

Olivia Nuzzi committed such a brazen and egregious violation of journalistic ethics that she should have been driven out of the profession entirely.

How much money do you give to big corporations who don't even know who you are? How much do you give to indie creators where each little bit you give makes a big difference for them? #indie #indiebooks #lgbtqbooks #lgbtqfantasy #queerbooks #jimmykimmel #corporation #dailythoughts

I'd have been a lot more impressed with Charlie Kirk if he agreed to be interviewed by a panel of progressive bloggers. He wouldn't have lasted five minutes. Bloggers carry insane amounts of institutional knowledge, and we're also used to the rhetorical devices of libertarian choads.

This is lawless. It is, however, not much different than what the SCOTUS far-right majority did when it allowed Texas's SB8 vigilante abortion law to go into effect in 2021 despite it clearly being unconstitutional under Roe/Casey.

they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

they boutta find out how hard it is to get people to resubscribe once they cancel a service

It’s got to be so wild trying to teach law school classes now: “Um, yea, so there’s no such thing as ‘precedent’ or ‘law’ anymore — the law is just whatever John Roberts thinks helps Donald Trump the most right now.”

Silver lining, but this is hilarious "We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer," anti-vaccine group Georgia Coalition for Vaccine Choice wrote."

Man the Olivia Nuzzi thing is just wild to me. It's the most blatant, theatrical example you could ever ask for of elite immunity from consequences ... but when I look on social media, all I see is people I thought I respected cheering her on.

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply." me on why Ezra Klein should be ashamed / why shame is Good Actually www.bostonreview.net/articles/how...

I want to say one more thing about this story, because people may not know how such pieces get written: No "ai" was involved. I read old newspapers stories, books, and conducted interviews. The structure is my own.

Was running a bunch of errands, and didn't have breakfast, let alone lunch. So I stopped at a Burger King to get a Whopper Jr., and it was AWFUL. So were the fries. Everything tasted like cardboard! Never, ever had a bad meal from there before.

Kamala Harris: "It feels chaotic, but what I would offer you is what we are witnessing is the swift implementation of a plan that was decades in the making. Project 2025 didn't just drop out of thin air. That's a product of decades of work. Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation ... "

A good ad on the DC Metro

some scientists taught gorillas sign language and one would sign about his dreams, he called them, “sleep pictures.” and the president of the usa cannot pronounce acetaminophen.

Expect Tylenol-level nonsense coming to abortion pills in the coming months. Ending telehealth prescriptions would be devastating for access nationwide

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Here’s a cartoon drawing I did of a conversation I had about neurodivergence and autism, scene from life. Pen and ink on paper.

Congress wrote laws to protect leaders of independent agencies like the FTC, SEC and The Fed from being fired at will. That’s the law. SCOTUS agreed in 1935. Todays corrupt SCOTUS may tear that down. Benjamin Franklin warned us: the republic would only survive if we could keep it. We're not.

This would be a good time for some brave journalist to write about the insidious effect of Autism Speaks on the national conversation.

ICE agents held a man’s five year old autistic daughter and taunted him with “Is that your daughter” in an attempt to get him to come out of the house. They were rebuffed but two days later took him from his car.

WSJ - Federal economists and researchers responsible for measuring hunger in America are placed on indefinite paid leave. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/usda-puts-food-researchers-on-leave-ef287cd7

Just want to say that when Stephen Miller gave his inspiring Nazi speech about Western civilization that goes back to colonial Philadelphia, among other places, that much of what was here was built by a combination of slaves and free labor. I mean, it's not even a question.

Obviously they only polled Bluesky weirdos and not real american twitter democrats lile Nate Silver

Tom "FittyK" Homan is his rap name. Yo, wassup, FittyK?

WAS THAT SO HARD??

Anyhow if you care about America we should do our best to snuff out the influence of Adam Jentleson, Cam Thompson, Charlotte Swasey, Tre Easton, Danielle Deiseroth and their GOP lite brethren

One for the museum

Call me old fashioned, but aren’t both parts of this relationship currently, uh, married to other people?

Offhand, I can think of over a dozen people in my family on the spectrum, myself included. I don't think any of their parents use Tylenol, it seems a lot more likely to run in the family.

Happy Rosh Hashanah y'all.
