Reupping this because I forgot to put my damn earbuds in my purse this morning. You know what wasn't a problem? Keeping my wired headphones in my bag at all times! So I don't have to listen to people breathe through their mouths on the Metro!!

I would like Democrats to come out and say that anyone receiving assets from this new slush fund, or profiting any of the other corrupt acts from this candidate, will have 100% of their assets seized the first chance we get. Even if they get pardoned.

Just reading this verbatim into @markwarner.bsky.social’s voicemail www.liberalcurrents.com/prosecute-th...

Cold brew season, I welcome you!

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

@chrislhayes.bsky.social I don't want a Trump phone, but I do actually want a headphone jack. Not having to remember to charge my damn earbuds would be great.

I'm worried China might kidnap all these people and demand that, unless America pays a trillion dollar ransom, they'll send them all back to us.

I'm so happy I'm single.

Checking in from downtown DC: There have been motorcades of buses escorted by cops on motorcycles passing our office, sirens blaring, every fifteen minutes or so for the last six hours. I don't pay taxes here but I'm still pissed at the waste and OH ALSO IT'S LOUD STOP IT.

There are a lot of very troubling low-trust trends in American society, but this feels more like a lot of people saying “well, he lies about everything so why not this too?”

In my experience this is way beyond any particular circle or bubble. The only people who like AI have a financial investment in AI and/or are objectively, unequivocally dumb as a brick.

Nope. I listen to podcasts while driving and walking my dog. Occasionally what I want is only available on YouTube, so I turn the screen off and put the phone in my pocket. Podcasts are for ears!

Certain people don't just want to be rich. They want people to constantly say "Being rich makes you a good person and nothing bad is ever your fault". They want to have everything, be responsible for nothing, and always somehow be a victim

We went to the zoo today and I feel like I was put through an actual wringer. Next year Mother's Day will be like last year: church, nap, and dinner at 5 p.m.

I regret to inform you that Rufus has developed another tumor. It was not near the margins of his previous tumor, which is a bad sign. I am sticking with my decision not to do chemo, so the doctor has added a painkiller ("with some serotonin effects") to his daily regimen to keep him comfortable.

Hey hire my friend Rob

We don't ordinarily publish posts at [checks watch] 8:51 PM on a Friday night, but state constitutional law expert Quinn @yeargain.bsky.social has an outside-the-box idea for reversing the VA Supreme Court that is very much worth taking seriously: Dems can simply lower the retirement age.

Just in case you haven't seen it, here is Justin Jones of Tennessee burning a Confederate flag in the statehouse. We're going to win even if it's harder than we thought.

quote this shit and say that you're using the maps anyway

some wisdom from james wilson, framer. "The truth is that, in our governments, the supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power remains in the people."

Beef jerky looking motherfucker can pry my lexapro out of my cold dead hands

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

Raiding Louise Lucas's office isn't going to go the way these chuckleheads think it will (and I'm also laughing at anyone describing her as a "close ally" of Governor Spanberger). This is a woman who once tweeted a picture of herself as Olenna Tyrell after she destroyed Glenn Youngkin's stadium deal

Sam Alito wears brown shoes with his black robe and my god is there anything this man isn't absolute shit at

God love you, @joshgondelman.bsky.social, YES. Make this HR 1 in the new Congress. (This is from Josh's great newsletter, That's Marvelous: www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com?ref=thats-ma...)

It's pubday for my debut picture book! Everyone come say hi to Edgar, a cat who knows his angles. With amazing illustrations by Rob Justus and published by @sourcebooks.bsky.social Kids, I hope you check out PAY ATTENTION TO ME! www.sourcebooks.com/978146423312...

Upcoming NYT headline: Kennedy Starts Push to Help Diabetics Quit Insulin

I can think of one thing that would get a lot of people off of them

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

We are watching The Golden Girls and Rose is yelling at Blanche and suddenly I would LOVE to see Rose Nylund in the streets of St. Paul in January 2026 with a whistle around her neck and a fucking guillotine sign hand-printed on cardboard.

It's telling that the only direction this fantasy ever goes is women falling for a guy who supports eradicating her humanity. 😑

It's been a hard year so I think we all deserve to hear what @smartbitches.bsky.social would have to say about Dana Perino's book, aka I Can Fuck You Into Being a Republican

Read Sean his 998th, 999th, and 1,000th books before nap time today. #1,000 was Good Morning, National Parks, which has only suffered a little (Sean ripped off the Yellowstone geyser).

Nice work, @insidehighered.com This is a perfect headline & lede.

I didn't put myself through three and a half years of shots and blood draws and ultrasounds and a major abdominal surgery not to get to say, "Good night, gorilla" in a tiny mouse voice on the last page of the book with a warm and sleepy toddler pressing his face into my neck, goddammit.

Be burned at the stake, most likely.

One of the most clarifying passages I've ever read on what "polarization" actually means in the U.S."

NO 👇 LIES DETECTED

Hey quick question ask the guy on the left what happened to the first guy with his name

A couple of recent good reads from the day job: Here's @saraweissman.insidehighered.com with some great work on the reconciliation efforts at Colorado's Fort Lewis College. www.insidehighered.com/news/institu...

The entire Republican Party embraces violence as a solution constantly. Some of them send out Christmas cards of their families including young children posing with modded up AR-15s!

Snacking Bakes hits it out of the park again: This afternoon I made browned-butter blondies with white chocolate chips and raspberry jam swirled on top. One of these days I'm going to get my hands on some Valrhona Dulcey and I will be unstoppable.

I really can’t get over the shamelessness of this. One party is emphatically pro-assassination, completely unfeeling on the subject of gun violence even when the victims are literal babies, and works hand in glove with right-wing paramilitaries. Violence helps that party by definition.

Made this for dinner tonight (which I ate at 4:45 because I skipped lunch), and it's like a faster, almost pantry-only version of Smitten Kitchen's braised chickpeas and zucchini. Like that, I served it with cottage cheese rather than burrata. Even Sean ate some! cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/7684...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

apparently it was just Jeanine Pirro throwing chairs at the waiter who cut her off

More! More jokes from Frank Sinatra movies!
