Asking this seriously: has Bari Weiss ever in her career reported out an investigative story?

She has a point. The public knows about the prison abuse, which is why 60 Minutes instead ran a story last night about Mount Everest, which has never been covered before

Really one of the best ever

So good defector.com/american-can...

A story I found about Haiti: In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

the people of this great republic yearn for locomotive transport

Unhinged to describe the criticism of her journalistic ethics as a "freaksome lynching" when she has not denied any of the allegations and admits to most of them in her book.

In collaboration with @thetrace.org, I wrote about the rising number of gun suicides among older Coloradans for Rocky Mountain PBS. www.rmpbs.org/blogs/health...

Man, the Orioles front office is either really stupid (possible!) or they feel very confident that Grayson’s arm is never going to be the same. For his sake, I hope it’s the former.

Tesla shareholders approved a $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk. The combined paychecks of all 3.2 million cashiers in the U.S. are about as valuable as his annual compensation.

Pretty cool: John Oliver used reporting from Rocky Mountain PBS as part of his segment on public media this weekend (The 5:30 mark) m.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...

Not sure it "upended her career" considering she got a book deal and a job with Vanity Fair

I like how the NYT tried to do a “some experts say” framing, and the expert was like, you do not need an expert opinion to see this is bad.

“In the absence of governance, or just in its place, the state has taken up a grim and shameful kind of content creation.” Great piece from @davidjroth.bsky.social defector.com/the-united-s...

"Not everyone should be running a donor-funded nonprofit, is what I'm saying. Some people—the people who have lots of money, say, because they own an entire baseball league—should stick to spending their own money, instead." defector.com/the-official...

This slump from Cowser is… concerning. Working a count full and getting blown away by 92 right down the middle is not what you want to see from your CF of the future

Guys, be nice to Brent Pry. All those notes he’s taking are updates to his resume

Cano and Akin are NOT invited to the 2026 parade

What’s that about free speech on college campuses? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...

I think limiting the definition of “political violence” to mean “bodily harm from a single assailant” helps downplay the many ways in which governments brutalize people. Is starving children not political violence? Is forcing a woman to carry a high-risk pregnancy to term not political violence?

being totally comfortable speaking this way to millions of people is one of many signals that we're in an extremely dark place

Adam Friedland is demanding more moral clarity and conviction from elected officials than any interviewer I've seen at national outlets (Chotiner is an exception). This is worthwhile: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0Ee...

Keegan should not have been back out there but the O’s offense tonight was gross. First five batters got on base one time and Cowser/Mounty combined for 6 Ks

Well hopefully that’s the last time a Barstool personality throws out a first pitch for the O’s

Video of a scary scene in Adams Morgan last night is making the rounds on DC listservs. The feds (presumably ICE) seemed to be making immigration/traffic stops. When protesters started shouting, one pointed his Taser at them until other protesters tried to deescalate things...

“I doubt that’s feasible for everyone, but I suspect that these reviews will be done in a discriminatory manner targeting immigrants with certain backgrounds and in certain visa categories or specific people they want an excuse to revoke.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Lmao incredible

As of late last month, the investigation—led by US senator Jon Ossoff, a Democrat of Georgia—had unearthed 41 cases of physical and sexual abuse; 14 involving pregnant detainees and 18 involving children.

It’s a shame that Jordan Westburg, one of the best players on the Orioles, is made entirely of popsicle sticks and glue

Tony Mansolino gets to do his favorite thing tonight: give a shoutout to the other team’s pitcher while ignoring the fact that the GM is making him work with a minor league lineup

Orioles looking really sharp today for a AA team

not sure how many different ways these guys can demonstrate their utter contempt and disrespect to artists
