@dennisperkins5.bsky.social I agree with you about Ashley Padilla - hope she takes some big swings this season. And last night she did the show fresh off the news that her beloved mentor had died, so props for that.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Absolutely INSANE use of passive voice in this CNN piece just incredible @katmabu.bsky.social “landed on the ground” during the protest???

@dennisperkins5.bsky.social Started reading this and thought it was great and then noticed it was one of yours! It'll be interesting to see what happens (narrator: she was not optimistic). latenighter.com/features/two...

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Here's hoping @jimmykimmel.com tells them to go fuck a burning bush.

The question I have Ezra Klein and other "we're in a state of political crisis and Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way" types is a simple one: If he was, who wasn't? If you're worried about democracy, and Charlie Kirk wasn't who you were worried about, who was? Specifically?

@maris.bsky.social I have got to stop reading your newsletter. Just bought both the Leila Lalami book and the Rob Franklin book. I won't live long enough to read half my TBR list, but at least I'm supporting Bookshop dot org and, secondarily, the local bookstore I hooked up to my account.

@maris.bsky.social Looooved the Mer-Bizzy art in your last newsletter! What a perfect wedding gift that was.

Great piece on what's happening to the people grabbed off the street. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

Back in the office for a while so brace yourselves for my daily "HFS, I FROZE MY TITS OFF" posts. Corporate America is one big meat locker.

Tonight’s episode of South Park is going to make Trump lose his f*cking mind

South Park is getting canceled after this lmao.

I say "Jeezus, what an asshole" so many times a day my cat is starting to think it's his name.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Anyone wanting to understand the brouhaha over Pam Bondi’s refusal to turnover (or even acknowledge) the Epstein files need look no further than what the Supreme Court just did. Let me explain... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-supreme-court-the-deep-state

The usual drill played out time and time again. It was 50-50 with Vance now breaking the tie. They never vote against something when it matters - when they will be the deciding vote. They only do it when they know it will pass without them.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

@joshmankiewicz.bsky.social Curiouser and curiouser. Lots of buzz about this in Maine - seems like she had a million friends and they're all mystified as to what could've happened. Interesting. And scary. www.cnn.com/2025/07/12/u...

Anyone wonder why the whiniest whiner in the history of whining never brings this up anymore?

"And what’s Trump doing while they all set each other on fire? He’s praising Pam Bondi. Why? Because Pam Bondi’s job isn’t to find justice. Her job is to protect Donald J. Spraytan—not children, not truth, not the tinfoil hopes of his Twitter cult." jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/let-them-f...
