this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

I watch sports in bars a lot, and in the past two years, a new and distressing Type of Guy has emerged: under 30ish, always by himself, scowling silently at the TVs with a pack of Zyns and a Mich Ultra in front of him, not appearing to root for any team in particular

Kaleb Horton’s mom has written some comments and asked to spread her thanks for everyone online who’s been sharing their appreciations: “you all made my suffering feel more bearable. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.” @lukeoneil47.bsky.social @nedraggett.bsky.social @alexnpress.bsky.social

WHAT YOU FAIL TO SEE MR POPE

STATEMENT: The NewsGuild of New York condemns the violent attack by ICE agents against three journalists covering immigration proceedings in Manhattan and demands that immigration courts take immediate action to prevent similar attacks from happening in the future. www.nyguild.org/post/stateme...

It's great that Chicagoans have always been like this

DeLillo, “Underworld.”

I was very moved to see so many people remembering Kaleb Horton so fondly over the past few days. What I haven’t seen thus far are any obituaries in any “real” magazines or news sites. www.welcometohellworld.com/i-would-like...

AI slop horrible and bad but also Kaleb was a stone-cold shitposter and I believe in my heart he would have found this one fucking hilarious

"I can't say what I think should happen to thieves like this.” @404media.co asked me what I thought about this shit. www.404media.co/ai-generated...

I don’t want to alarm anyone but a million naval nerds were just awoken from their slumber and they’re gonna want to talk to the rest of us about aircraft carriers and missile ships. Just remain calm.

This was Kaleb's piece on Norm. Absolutely fucking amazing piece of writing from an absolutely fucking amazing guy. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

I have been sad in a very abstract way about Kaleb Horton's death as I didn't know him at all, but did enjoy his work. But seeing his mother's response in the comments just crushed me. So sorry for everyone's loss who knew him.

NEW: The Chicago Headline Club — the local chapter of the @spj-posts.bsky.social — has released a statement condemning ICE attacks on reporters. In recent days, ICE has shot journalists in the face with pepper balls, assaulted journalists, and detained a reporter in Chicago.

there is one lesson from eric adams and it’s listen to the beat reporters

"Most of the times we chatted, he was looking for work — did I know of anything? — and mostly I felt ashamed because I knew he’d do something good whenever given a chance, but there were no chances I could give him." — @mattdpearce.com on the late Kaleb Horton

fuck, man. i hadn't read a ton of his work but what i did always blew me away. unbelievable loss

This is lovely and I just thought in the car about writing something similar: that it's also the faint, final glimmer of a world disappearing along with Kaleb.

“his death at an absurdly untimely age is congruent with his life’s work, which was filled with pathos both in content and production. It’s all part of a complete whole, like a perfect Country Western song, written sadly and sung sadly for the people born to cry.”

"He was a born magazine writer long past the day when being a magazine writer was something you could make much a name for yourself doing. If you are a Californian and care about literary journalism and hadn’t heard the name Kaleb Horton, well, that’s part of the whole sad story."

this is lovely and i'm so sad and furious it has to exist

Kaleb Horton RIP.

Put together some thoughts here. In an earlier time he would have been the kind of writer being paid $5 a word by magazines to go write about whatever he pleased. And no one would be pissed off or jealous about it either. www.welcometohellworld.com/life-is-a-pr...

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

I would like the child sacrificed to stop, either by we stop doing them, or we acquire an orb with some kind of enchantment, I don't want to be too prescriptive about it, but an orb or other artifact with magical properties that causes them to stop.
