It’s the addition of wheels to make the act of carrying the cross easy and painless that really tells you everything you need to know about the absolutely uncritical and selfish ideological positioning of this kind of politics.

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

That was not my experience in Maryland. I booked online, went to the appointment, and was never asked for my ID when I showed up. They just gave me my shots and my coupon and sent me on my way.

It's sobering, in its way, to realize that there was truly nobody (save, perhaps, his children) who knew him that loved him as a man. He made himself into content, and he died as content, and his funeral is the most content of all. Soundbites to soundbites, bits to bits

I can't figure on Fuentes' play vis a vis criticizing the memorial, unless his take is how the conversation is trending online among the far right. I outright reject it as a sincere emotional reaction--there's always an angle.

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

Imagine you sneak onto the internet in 10 years to watch video of your murdered father's memorial service and you find that Bund meeting circlejerk, jfc.

The laughing and chatting is gross af. But also look how f'ing high Elon is again.

Happening this week, starting tomorrow: Utah’s legislature is meeting to adopt a new congressional map after a court order. All five draft maps would transform a safely GOP seat into a swing district that’d be very winnable for Dems.

jfc Kushner was at that service while Carlson pulled out the "they killed Jesus" shit.

Goddamn, I miss my friend.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

i think the most important thing you can do to prepare for the rapture on tuesday is give me your bank card and pin code. there's no atm in heaven and i need to buy a wolf alice hoodie at the concert that night.

In more than 700 cases over five years, Georgia reported inadequate housing as the sole reason for taking a child into foster care, a @wabe.org and ProPublica analysis found. Advocates say it would be cheaper to help families get housing. (Published Jan. 2024) By @stephannnnie.bsky.social

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

I think I’ve said the words “Jesus Christ” more in that period time than I normally do as well.

He and Usha are gonna split up and he's gonna marry Erika, mark it down.

I am definitely putting the next SerlingFest on my itinerary! Getting to visit this memorial was one of the high points of 2025 for me. 💕✌🏽🪐

A gathering of most of our Board members. Beautiful day! #SerlingFest2025

Lore time: My freshman year of college my friends joked I was the Unabomber (he hadn't been identified yet) and in honor of that they took me to a Stuart Davis performance for my 19th birthday and he sang "Pipe B0mb Guru" for me.

The energy for this week is nuts and will get worse as the week goes on and to illustrate my point: I spent the first hour of my day today in bed reading about the Unabomber and nodding along murmuring, "Dude had some good points," and it is only SUNDAY, so.

Trump was still President when he was banned from Twitter and Facebook

THANK YOU. I was wondering what the hold-up was.

there should be a single button i can press to trace back a whole chain of nested quote posts & replies so i can read the full context in chronological order w/o having to click and scroll up and click and scroll up & so on

Johnson's trying to do the Hegseth pose. Jared had materialized out of thin air. And T***p's got no tie and a loose collar again because he's having trouble breathing at sea level let alone in the air.

I get the point here but actually writing bios is torture for reasons that have nothing to do with one’s literary craftsmanship

Kamala Harris, repeatedly, since Nov.: “Take care of yourself to be ready for the long haul & when I’m ready I’m going to go meet people where they are in a way that doesn’t feel transactional or that makes people think I’m fishing for votes.” Idiot white people: THIS BOOK IS MEAN AND SHE SUCKS.

I spend a lot of time online. Online isn’t real life, and not representative of most people. Mis-/dis-information are like a water leak; it permeates itself everywhere, and causes damage in its wake.

Unpopular-with-some take: Liberals, to some extent, don’t make it easy to leave. (In fairness, however, lots of liberals would welcome those who leave. But the loudest who would never welcome those who leave are found—where else?—online.)

🧵One of the most significant hindrances to people leaving MAGA is the judgment from others; I understand why someone wanting to leave, or having doubts, wouldn’t, out of fear of ostracization.

You know what would be Christian AF? If TPUSA and Kirk family donated some of the six million haul they took in this week to the children of Officer David Rose and Melissa & Mark Hortman.

Why? It‘s better for everyone when my plastic brick reaches zero.

And also us just being like: yes you did in fact vote for this. I didnt vote for your rural hospital to close or for your farm to get fucked over by tariffs or your works to get snatched by ICE. You did.

A big reason why we're in the mess we're in is bc for years we have been told that we need to treat Trump voters like innocent little children who dont mean it instead of adults who made an active choice w their vote to be shitty while telling themselves theyd never face any consequences from that

As many other ppl are pointing out, an actually good way to break Trump voters away from Trump/Rs is to make it clear to them that voting that way is bad & will hurt them and that they will not be rescued from feeling those consequences if they make that choice.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

"and we've probably each had covid 5 or 10 times" ZERO. I HAVE HAD IT ZERO TIMES. MY ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD HAS HAD IT ZERO TIMES--BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN VACCINATED.

Never deleting any websites

Reporters, this is when you ask him what day it is. And how to spell his name. Have him count backwards. Just see how that all turns out.

Hey there Delilah I am writing the Quixote Adding hermeneutic weight to what Miguel wrought crude and floaty Vis-à-vis The work— attributed to me? Or only he?

Show us the death certificate, Andrew. You know. The one marked "DOA."

#Twitter/#X is just a 100% authentic place full of real lifelong Democrats who suddenly realized Charlie Kirk was right, registered as Republicans, and posted so in identical tweets. These are absolutely not foreign bots trying to influence US politics or increase partisan divides in the US.

Spending time with a bunch of liberal arts professors makes you realize how funny it is to imagine we could coordinate a nationwide conspiracy to turn students into an army of cultural Marxists. We can't even get the faculty at my school to agree on what rules of order to use to run our meetings.

Also I've seen the videos including the close-up and I've talked to folks who use that rifle and ammo for hunting and I took Geometry and AP Physics and AP Anatomy and Physiology and come the fuck ON, how dumb do they think their people are.

What surgeon? He was dead before they put him in the car.

Commitment to free speech doesn't just mean commitment to letting people say things you don't believe in. It's a commitment to them saying or expressing it in a *way* that you dislike, or is actively unpleasant to you.

Ever notice how the loudest voices in politics often know the least? After hearing Stephen A. Smith “talk politics” this morning, it is an example of why I wrote about why fake civics is so dangerous. open.substack.com/pub/jaimehar...

It is legal for military planes to turn off their main transponder signals (ADS-B for the avgeeks out there), but it is generally reserved for combat and surveillance missions.
