💯 agree, it’s very transparent.

Her entire resume is an insurance lawyer who later helped burn books. The best people.

Tell me you're an incel virgin in a single image.

Only the best people. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

This was pleasing.

Pete Davidson’s dad died in 9/11. Pete went to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. Has anyone told him?

I am absolutely fine cancelling these hypocritical shitheels.

There's no daylight for these racist-fueled fascists between 'jokes' and stochastic violence—trying every single thing to wedge the door open, and gaslighting us that they are meaningless.

Not bad!

ah General Gorpious Florpious, my warhammer alt.

no one wants a sequel to the social network.

Just putting this here because I feel gaslit, but once again that is not what Kimmel said!

Charlie Kirk would relentlessly, tediously mock this.

Senate democratic leadership voting for the Charlie Kirk memorial holiday whatver-the-fuck are an indicator of how much we can't rely on either party to get us through. We keep us free.

I am up to be recruited by the trans militant cult. Let me know if you need material support and assistance.

Democrats now have a huge opening to go on the offensive. Between the RFK vaccine disaster, the Homan bribe, Trump's nakedly corrupt DM to Bondi, and Brendan Carr breaking the law, they should turn on the firehose. As should the press. Doomers will be blocked. TY for your attention to this matter.

Happy Eisner spoke up...but man, I have literally never thought university presidents, lawyers at big law firms, or corporate executives were ever going to stand up for fuck all. Historically it is in fact regular people who stand up, at great cost. He is who he is. What a brain this must be.

The perfect headline doesn’t exi—

Agree with this, except it's too mean to dilettantes who do not deserve to be lumped in with these two asshats.

You fucked ip pretty good when Michael Eisner takes a free shot across your jaw.

Outstanding. It’s Dutch up til 0:26, but then turn the audio on. Unless you’re fluent in Dutch! I’m excited for Disney to be roasted.

Great snarky thread. In that spirit, what *I* learned is journalism likes journos who sext and phone fuck presidential candidates they are covering WAY MORE than if you make Ira Glass cry.

This guy says some dead on stuff.

There are an unlimited number of things to be bothered about with Klein, but YES

"To applaud those making the long-foretold pivot for their moral courage is not only unnecessary but perverse; they are, at best, joining a coalition built by the people they insulted, scorned, and in some cases called for arresting when their words counted most."

I didn't think I could be more disappointed in Ezra Klein. Teach me to think there's a bottom.

First as tragedy, then as farce.

Truer words.

"And Magda Goebbles made a great strudel."

[the shooter is unidentified] the left must be purged with the sword [the shooter is, again, a compulsive masturbator who loved Hitler] I believe it was pascal who said that the heart has reasons that reason may not know

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social

And why the credits have weird spacing, terrible font usage—they look like someone put them together in 1995 Microsoft Paint. It's so weird when the show itself looks so great.

The Paper captures a couple of trends—first, everything is always existing IP or franchises. Second, warm and comfortable is in, prickly and funny is out. Within those parameters it is...ok. We should expect more.

The lesson here isn't 'chatgpt is good at therapy'. The lesson is 'even chatgpt *can* be better than an absolutely terrible human therapist'.

God what a fucking piece of shit

Malcolm Gladwell has always sucked and continues to do so. Willfully misinterpreting others is something he does in books and in life. Not even a heel turn.

I’m looking for a phrase. Apple used to use ‘machine learning’ which seems suitably neutral. I could get behind that.

My read on the books is similar to Isaac's. Rowling is good at making characters you care about, but yes, the thing people usually praise her for is fake—her worldbuilding is bad, contradictory, largely stolen w/o filing off the serial numbers, and often you can feel and taste her bigotries.

The daughter of the world's richest man, who has gone to many different elite schools and graduated with Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter...has never seen or experienced an oyster before.

Deal with devil

We made an ooops

There’s this teenager with an incredible voice walking down my street singing a medley of my heart will go on and I will always love you full out for the purpose of annoying her friends and it is amazing

MCRIB! (Said like MCBAIN!)

The song of the summer is still Pink Pony Club. It’s that good, and no one else rose to the challenge.

A useful WaPo map of where Trump Storm Troops are actually operating in DC. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... If you know DC, what this map tell you is: They're making the gaudy show of strength in areas where it matters least and will do least good. Except for sheer spectacle.

A good man.

I am super curious what massive constituency this Cuomo technique is supposed to rally.

You shouldn’t celebrate that you finally had a woman umpire for the first time in 2025. You should be humiliated, you sexist choads.
