Michael Stipe on beer 9:

“In light of the apparent conflicts of interest, I have called on AG Lynch to appoint a special counsel to ensure the investigation is as far from politics as possible,” Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas. www.nytimes.com/2016/07/01/u...

And this. They have to make her look like Marilyn Monroe in the Misfits? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/s...

They put barfmania on the top of the front page. Every time I think "shut up about coastal elites already", the NY Times does something like this. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/f...

You think George Conway's endorsement helps Goldman in his primary?

For the first time since it's founding there's an actual conspiracy that indicts powerful elites and there are actual documents that actually prove it and Infowars is like "nah"

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

The New York Times had this information about Epstein and Trump a year before the 2016 election, and said "but her emails is a more interesting topic." It was misogyny—the publication actively helped derail Hillary Clinton's campaign—but it really does look like catch and kill, too.

Yes, Trump must be the focus, but please take note of the bipartisan disgusting, amoral derangement of the elite class.

FIFA has raised ticket prices for dozens of 2026 World Cup games, in some cases by more than 20%. Most upper-deck tickets to the World Cup final are now $5,055 or $3,450. Increases for two of three USMNT games. Details @theathletic.com:

Toddlers don't have to eat vegetables, a new classified toddler memo announced.

Door Dash is pleased with US job creation. Phew.

I think he caught whatever Trump has.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

Holy shit this is crazy. And the professor is right, how is this even attractive politically in what I'm told is our rugged-individualist country?

Masterful.

No whiskey on hand?

The perception that the US took the rule of law deadly seriously has been an investment magnet and a source of our country's wealth for many years. That perception is in rapid decline, and Canada is smart to position itself in the breach.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it. We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

Schumer was terrified of national Democrats being tied to Mamdani, but he should be a lot more worried about being tied to THIS

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

I am suddenly feeling the call of the church.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Holy fuck. I understand that the NY Times needs to have conservative voices in its opinion pages, but my god they have announced that nothing is out of bounds.

re pinochet: ourtime.substack.com/p/in-defense...

Yes!

I'm sorry, the United States senator is a "guardian" of what country? I feel like there's one correct answer here, and if that answer isn't "the United States," then we have an issue.

TFW you tune into your daughter's college radio program and she plays "Hysteric" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs and you realize that she kind of liked you all this time. I'm crying.

The robber barons of America are going to do everything they can to destroy Mamdani. They will follow the SF playbook: they will run wedge campaigns, pay PR firms, manipulate social media, encourage cop work slowdowns then crow about crime, and run impeachment campaigns.

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism. I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists. I know where my allegiance lies.

Mamdani's gonna trans everyone's gender, the end goal of the most radical of Sharia.

Oh fuck yeah.

I get the sense that many leading Democrats, in New York and elsewhere, don't really register the extent to which their brand of non-committal, finger-to-the-wind politics has fallen out of favor with voters.

Like, I honestly think that there were things in the de Blasio administration worth celebrating. The fact that stop and frisks declined by at least 90% while crime declined is something progressives should be proud about. But my god, he just doesn't get NYers. He honestly thinks he's adorable.

FFS, this is real.

I don't dance on the graves of democratically elected office holders and I won't start today. But I was standing 5 blocks away when the first plane hit the Towers, I was in city govt working at the Command Center in the aftermath. It was a tragic but also profound time. And I had some tiny hope...

Stephen Miller endorses Cuomo.

Aloof wife happy life

Mike Johnson: ‘My Christian Faith Is More About Not Jacking Off Than Feeding The Poor’

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

I saw a Cuomo ad last night that was basically "if there's another 9/11, we need a mayor with experience like Andrew Cuomo," and it made me wonder, wait, what was Andrew Cuomo doing on 9/11? Well, he was probably preoccupied with damage control for this: nypost.com/2001/09/10/p...

Woops.

“‘The Great Gatsby,’ published in 1925, takes place during the Roaring ’20s and famously explores the emptiness of material wealth and moral decay of the rich … The day after the party, Nov. 1, is the date that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are set to go on pause.”
