Fans of both Taylor Swift and The Mountain Goats get to do this twice.

One of my favorite things about Madeleine Dean is that she's a lot taller than you'd expect.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Democrats need to stand firm and fight for a funding bill that keeps families on their health care.

Pleased to be rewarded with a medical grade treat inside of the Depresh Mode newsletter today. Look at her dance; look at her go.

The way people talk about Gilmore Girls season is how I talk about Michelle’s turkey chili. 🦅

But more people are reading for VENGEANCE. So kind of a wash.

It’s so rude that you can be like “yesssss, I wrote 1000 words,” and then it’s just four paragraphs

If I told you that I love you, would you care? youtu.be/Raq5xKQTUWA?...

I wish some of our elected officials would withhold their pierogis more often.

Too many rich people on the left are very racist. Saying "Zohran Mamdani is dangerous because he's Muslim" means that you're a bigot in your bathtub and a bigot in the streets.

Every city has a Zohran Mamdani, by the way. There’s been a concerted effort to convince you that they don’t exist and you have to settle for your local Andrew Cuomo, but they’re there.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

This is actually the most embarrassing way anyone has clocked us as siblings.

My dad watched all 2 hours and 38 minutes of Tár standing.

TJ McConnell is playing in the NBA Finals

Irresponsible basil stewardship is adding three giant plants to your garden. Responsible basil stewardship is immediately pruning the giant plants for freezer basil cubes upon your arrival home. 🌿

Someone with a bigger platform than me hurt my feelings in a few abstract ways and Michelle is sending me Luther gifs so I'll dunk on her. The Luther gifs are helping.

I'm a freelance writer who would love to tell you what I'm reading this summer without draining a lake to do so! Check out my free weekly newsletter, Vocabulary School, where I take words from my reading & teach you how to integrate them into your working vocabulary! andreabeasq.substack.com

I’m just a novelist but those four jets that fell in the Red Sea cost 2 x the NEA budget.

This is one of my favorite things to pop up on the internet and I will click an re-read every time and tell anyone who will listen about my least successful campaign in any American high school to have "Only in Dreams" be our prom song.

They should really have the Phanatic at his first big event.

The frustration I feel after reading the Fetterman piece, after receiving a dismissive email from his office, after volunteering for another candidate in the primary for this office is not quantifiable.

The same people who weren't allowed to play with Ouija boards at sleepovers are forming intimate bonds with AI.

Happy May Day, don’t be a scab.

Michelle and I are in a video meeting trying to coordinate a return of equipment and she stepped away to take a call and I cannot believe how rude the person on the phone is being to her.

As an identical twin, I'm glad that the real twin movie, The Great Muppet Caper, is included in this sad, scary list.

you say “ban the tush push” but I hear “my squat form sucks”

Jeffrey Goldberg ate one bite of his steak and left the rest on the bone. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

BG forever and ever.

“The first people a dictator puts in jail after a coup are the writers, the teachers, the librarians —because these people are dangerous. They have enough vocabulary to recognize injustice and to speak out loudly about it. Let us have the courage to go on being dangerous people.” —Madeleine L’Engle

I called and emailed both senators today. I was unable to fax because Pennsylvania is represented by cowards. I made this fudge last night and it was incredible. www.saveur.com/recipes/easy... Make the calls, get fudge. Fudge is not for cowards or losers. Fudge is for winners.

if you work for my state senator John Fetterman, quit your fucking job. Stop supporting this man who does not support the policies he ran on.

Oh, so it's like bad bad.

Spending my day sending stills of the Big Bear Eagle Live Cam to my sister saying "that's us."

My favorite podcast, High and Mighty with @gabrusky.bsky.social, ended in January. I finally finished the last episode and I wanted spend some of this week's newsletter to celebrate Gabrus, his curiosity, and the hope for a better world. andreabeasq.substack.com/p/forbidden-...

I'd like to announce that I'm pivoting to media criticism. Here is my critique of the media. It sucks ass. Having registered this critique I'm now pivoting back to songs about the true nature of prophecy & books where there was maybe a ghost but you're not entirely sure

There's an Eagle Cam set up in Big Bear and they had baby eagles hatch overnight and they are trying their very best to be eagles right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-L...

If you need me, I'll be under my desk after fainting as a result of Rilo Kiley choosing to name their greatest hits album "That's How We Choose to Remember It."

So much of the Trump administration's policy endangers the lives of specific groups. So in a way, having RFK Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services is a way of making things more fair because now EVERYONE is more likely to die.

eat shit, you salty old bitch. long live the People’s Republic of Philadelphia www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

Unfriendly reminder that this person wanted to be president.

I listened to Brat on the way to the dentist to hype myself up and now I’m just sad about the passage of time.

Shoutout to my brain for still functioning in this modern era.

If this is supposed to echo when Elmo did this, boy, did you pick the wrong ones. Please, stop being a loser and fight for us. That's how we'll feel less stress, when we aren't twisting in the wind while Democrats "tune out the noise."

More to come!
